Book Reviews of Healing Back Pain: The Mind-Body Connection
Book Review: If you want to feel better, read this book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been suffering neck and shoulder pain for over 10 years. I've taken more Advil in my life than anyone should. My chiropractor is going to be bummed out when finds out! Within 1 week of reading this book, 98% of my pain was GONE. It's an easy read, and well worth the time. Good luck!Book Review: Dr. Sarno saved me from a life of chronic back pain
Summary: 5 Stars
I had been experiencing low back pain for 6 years, and especially a lot of pain on the sides of my back, so much that I couldn't walk properly or stand or sit for a long time without pain. By chance I saw Dr. Sarno on 20/20 TV show and hoped he could help me. I ordered the book right away which was easy on Amazon.com, and I have been reading it for about a week. It is hard to believe that I am almost completely free of pain right now. Thanks to Dr. Sarno for improving so many people's lives.Book Review: YOU CAN RELIEVE YOUR PAIN AND OVERCOME YOUR STALLS
Summary: 5 Stars
The major benefit of HEALING BACK PAIN is that you suddenly may be able to help so many people who suffer from chronic pain in all parts of their bodies that traditional medicine has not been able to relieve. I do believe that so many illnesses are caused by held in stress and anger. I am glad Dr. Sarno is explaining this and that he cites studies published in JAMA and other major medical journals to support his experiences. This philosophy of understanding and physical activity is a step forward over others suggesting only understanding, relaxation and recognition of emotions. To make real progress, we must break The Disbelief Stall described in THE 2,000 PERCENT SOLUTION, that there must be a physical reason for pain, that there must be a doctor who can diagnose and cure that pain, and that this cannot possibly be a mind-(subconscious)-over-pain matter. (Look at this book too for ideas about how to overcome your other stalls). Time and time again, we hear stories of "miracle" recoveries in people with great positive attitudes. These are not miracle cures. These are other examples of the power of the mind. I intend to share this book to relatives and friends in the hope that they will look into TMS and perhaps, find relief that will improve the quality of their lives and those around them.Book Review: Changed my life!
Summary: 5 Stars
I experienced severe and sometime debilitating back pain for five years prior to reading this book. After reading the book and slowly convincing myself that he was right, my life has changed. I have regained all of the mobility that I had thought was forever lost. Dr. Sarno clearly describes the symptoms of back pain and then proceeds to delineate the exact steps one should take to conquer the beast. Dr. Sarno appropriately names the overwheliming problem as TMS. The affirmations offered by Dr. Sarno are conveniently taped next to the toilet in my bathroom for a daily reminder.Book Review: It didn't work for me.
Summary: 1 Stars
My review never appeared here when I posted it two months ago, so I'm posting it again in hopes it will appear this time.I read this book and faithfully?followed everything it suggested, and it didn't work for me at all. In such cases, the book suggests that the reader should consult with a psychologist to see if their back pain might be due to unresolved psychological issues -- I did that and it didn't work for me either. Several years later, my back pain is just as bad, and it has since been diagnosed as fibromyalgia.
Although Dr. Sarno's techniques may work for some people, they certainly don't work for everyone.
