One of the world’s foremost back doctors examines new treatments to relieve pain without exercise, meditation, or physical therapy.Amazon.com Review
Healing Back Pain promises permanent elimination of back pain without drugs, surgery, or exercise. It should have been titled Understanding TMS Pain, because it discusses one particular cause of back pain–Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS)–and isn’t really a program for self-treatment, with only five pages of action plan (and many more pages telling why conventional methods don’t work). According to John E. Sarno, M.D., TMS is the major cause of pain in the back, neck, shoulders, buttocks, and limbs–and it is caused not by structural abnormalities but by the mind’s effort to repress emotions. He’s not saying that your pain is all in your head; rather, he’s saying that the battle going on in your mind results in a real physical disorder that may affect muscles, nerves, tendons, or ligaments. An injury may have triggered the disorder, but is not the cause of the amount or intensity of the resulting pain. According to Sarno, the mind tricks you into not facing repressed emotion by making you focus on pain in the body. When this realization sinks in (“and it must sink in, for mere intellectual appreciation of the process is not enough”), the trick doesn’t work any more, and there’s no need for the pain. (Healing Back Pain should not be used for self-diagnosis. Always consult a physician for chronic or acute back pain.) –Joan Price

Heal Your Back: Your Complete Prescription for Preventing, Treating, and Eliminating Back Pain

Product Description
Everyone knows what a headache feels like. The pain can take many forms. For example, your head being trapped in vise; an angry blacksmith hammering on the inside of your skull; or maybe you just feel like your head is about to explode from the pressure building inside of it. You hold your head, search for a dark room, and wonder: why does my head hurt like this? Although it often feels like your brain is swelling or your skull is pounding, the brain and the skull are actually incapable of feeling pain. So, what part of your head is it that’s hurting? There are three different possible culprits for the source of headache pain: the delicate tracery of nerves that covers your scalp; nerves in the face, mouth and throat; and the muscles and blood vessels that cradle and nourish the brain. Once nerve endings in any of these areas are triggered, they send out a pain signal to the brain, and you end up with a headache. Have you ever wondered what causes a headache? Is it possible to avoid them, or at least reduce their frequency? There are actually several different types of…

Product Description
Nortin Hadler knows backaches. For more than three decades as a physician and medical researcher, he has studied the experience of low back pain in people who are otherwise healthy. Hadler terms the low back pain that everyone suffers at one time or another “regional back pain.” In this book, he addresses the history and treatment of the ailment with the healthy skepticism that has become his trademark, taking the “Hadlerian” approach to backaches and the backache treatment industry in order to separate the helpful from the hype.

Basing his critique on an analysis of the most current medical literature as well as his clinical experience, Hadler argues that regional back pain is overly medicalized by doctors, surgeons, and alternative therapists who purvey various treatment regimens. Furthermore, the design of workers’ compensation, disability insurance, and other “health” schemes actually thwarts getting well. For the past half century, says Hadler, back pain and back pain-related disability have exacted a huge toll, in terms of pain, suffering, and financial cost. Stabbed in the Back addresses this issue at multiple levels: as a human predicament, a profound social problem, a medical question, and a vexing public-policy challenge. Ultimately, Hadler’s insights illustrate how the state of the science can and should inform the art and practice of medicine as well as public policy. Stabbed in the Back will arm any reader with the insights necessary to make informed decisions when confronting the next episode of low back pain.
