Back Pain Permanent Healing: Understanding the Myths, Lies, and Confusion

Rate this book
#1 International Best Seller in Pain Management and Health, Fitness & Dieting CategoriesBack pain is now the #1 cause of disability worldwide; this is ironic, because the mystery was solved in the 1970s by Dr. John Sarno at the New York University Medical Center. Tragically, few sufferers accepted his solution. Despite possessing the most advanced healing techniques in history, the problem has grown into the main cause of global disability because the focus has been on treating the spine: a failed model for healing. Back Pain Permanent Healing examines why people are having trouble healing, why they refuse to accept healing, and why back pain has become epidemic. Through deeper understanding of the myths, lies, and confusion healing occurs.

A good companion piece to Dr. John Sarno's book, Healing Back Pain. This is a practical guide that explains how to put the mind-body thinking of healing into practice. The author experienced the overcoming anger issues he didn't even realize he had, helped him heal after years of pursuing traditional medical treatments with no success.

A few years back I recovered from years of back and leg pain after reading John Sarno’s books. I picked up this one to help with a relapse that hit me in January of this year. It did the trick.

Informative, interesting, promising

I enjoyed reading this with no prior knowledge of TMS. I am hopeful it will help me with my back pain after I do further reading the materials recommended here.

Great book. Every movement has its firebrands, and that's what Steve is to the TMS movement. Not a book to get new adherents to the philosophy because he's to brazen for that, so more of a book to entertain and inform those already in the know.

Not as good as "Healing Back Pain" by Sarno, but still pretty good. I don't like the author's focus on belief--my understanding of Sarno's work is that it can cure you without believing it. Belief probably makes it better, but it isn't necessary.

But I like this book better than Ozanich's earlier book. He has greatly improved as a writer.

Bravo! An even better prescription for John Sarno's approach to eliminating chronic pain.
