Book Reviews of Healing Back Pain: The Mind-Body Connection
Book Review: If there ever was a Book of The Century....this is it!
Summary: 5 Stars
After suffering from debilitating back pain for over 12 years my wife convinced me to read Dr. Sarno's book (She had heard about it while reading one of Andrew Weil's books).It has now been nearly two years since I've read and studied the book (5 times to date) and two years that I've been pain-free. I'm now back to doing all the things I thought I'd forever have to give up.
If you have any kind of back pain.....READ THIS BOOK!!!! It seems a bit far fetched, but what Dr. Sarno says is absolutely, with out a doubt, TRUE!!!
I wish someday I could meet him in person to say thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Book Review: tere may be another answer for you....

Some of you may have what I have and it's called PYRIFORMIS SYNDROM. The muscle is trapping the sciatic nerve. A test can be done to diagnose this painful problem. Dr. Sarno discounts this information completely. His methods did work for me, but never more than a few hours at a time. I had no life,just pain down my left leg and it never moved anywhere else for four full months, 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week.Book Review: 30 YEARS OF BACK PAIN GONE
Summary: 5 Stars
IN PAIN ONE DAY, I DECIDED TO CHECK OUT THE NEWEST BACK PAIN BOOKS. CHECKED THEM ALL OUT AND IN A SORTA "SO WHAT, I CAN RETURN IT" MODE, I PURCHASED THIS BOOK. I EXPECTED NOTHING - ACTUALLY WAS CURIOUS HOW SUCH A BOOK COULD BE SOLD. HAPPILY, AFTER ONE READING I LOST 30 YEARS OF BACK PAIN. I'M STILL CROOKED AND MY X-RAYS LOOK AWFUL, BUT I AM NO LONGER IN PAIN - TWO YEARS LATER. FOR ME, IT WAS WORTH THE TRY....Book Review: Thank you DR. Sarno!
Summary: 5 Stars
So far so good! I have had several occasions that would have taken me down with a bad back and I mean down, in bed, in pain for a week or so and have,thanks to this book been able to talk myself out of the normal experience of allowing it to happen.I fought(mentally)the idea that I was causing the occurances,but know now it is the mugger in my head thats the culprit.So far so goodBook Review: This book has helped me and others I have loaned it to.
Summary: 5 Stars
While there is no one magic solution for all people, there will always be people that cannot accept the state that they are in or want to discount information just because they don't want to believe it. This book will deliver the goods, if you are willing to accept it for what it is, a tool, a piece of information to be used for your benefit.
Dr. Sarno's information may be obvious to some (I see a few comments above), but for most it isn't and even if it is, having someone tell it to you in this form seems to work for many people.
My father and Aunt have read this book and it helped them get rid of their chronic back pain and this is how I first heard of it. I then gave this book to a friend who would at odd times experience excruciating lower back pain that would incapacitate her, after reading the book the pain went away and has not returned. After helping my friend I never expected to need the book myself, but one day I realized that the shoulder pain that I would occasionally experience might be related to what the book talks about, so I decided to read it. My pain gradually went away over a period of a week and while I occasionally get a twinge now and then I never experience these symptoms for very long or with the intensity that I used to have them. This is not the miracle cure-all, go to your doctor first. It has worked for me, my friends, and my family. END
