Book Reviews of Healing Back Pain: The Mind-Body Connection
Book Review: Will it work for you?
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book over a year ago and I've been "liberated" from my backpain. It took a few months of hard work working with the book.
I have tried giving this book to other "back sufferers" but most people, for whetever reason, can't relate to this book. Perhaps they need the emotional crutch of being a "sufferer" or they can't admit to having "problems" or perhaps they don't have the time and patientence to "work" through this book.
PityBook Review: This book will change your life.
Summary: 5 Stars
When I was told by somebody else who read Dr. Sarno's book that he read the book and his back pain was gone, I became an immediate skeptic. But after trying every other precedure short of surgery for my back pain, I figured reading the book couldn't be too painful. And I was right--it was actually painless, as I have been ever since. After trying Chiropractors, physical therapy, exercises, drugs, Cordozone injections, epideral taps, back braces etc., it was this book that cured me. I read the book 6 months ago and have not had any pain since. It sounds too good to be true--but it is true. Anybody with back pain must take a few hours to read this incredible book. It seemed that on every page, Dr. Sarno was describing me and my condition. I have gone from having pain all day long at work, limiting all of my activities, to living a pain free and very active lifestyle. I HIGHLY recommend "Healing Back Pain" to anybody and everybody suffering daily from this pain. You won't believe it but it truly has healing powersBook Review: This book will make your back pain go away in no time!
Summary: 5 Stars
Dr. Sarno explores back pain from an emotional perspective that most doctors don't even acknowledge. He empowers readers to get rid of their back pain without drugs or surgery. Reading this book gave me the knowledge to eliminate my back pain--I'd been suffering for more than a year--and my headaches as well. I've been pain free for more than a year.If you're suffering from chronic back pain, read this book
Book Review: A review of the mind's role on causing back pain
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very readable book on the way the mind can affect real pain - in the back. It is very readable and convincing. It offer that stress and repressed anger can actually physically constrict nerve impules and its related affects in ways that cause the lower back pain that affects millions of Americans. The key to Dr. Sarno's remedy - and this is the key to being able to believe it and apply it - is to confront the psychogenic origin of the pain and drop all other therapies and aids. In other words, no more physical therapy, braces, exercises or adjustments since these are crutches that preclude confronting the mental origin of the problem. His argument is convincing and worth reading - but as one who suffers from chronic back problems, its an awful tough call to quit the physical remedy in lieu of the mental one.
Nonetheless, its worth a read because it does provide insight whether one takes on Dr. Sarno's remedy or not.
