cure back pain

Dr Sarno

Dr. Sarno Dr Sarno is a hero to me. This man definitely helped to put me on the right path towards curing my own horrible back pain. Dr. John Sarno has worked in rehabilitation medicine at the Howard A. Rusk Institute in New York City for many years. He is also a Professor of Clinical Rehabilitation Medicine at the New York University School of Medicine. Dr. Sarno has worked with many patients individually, but is best known for touching the lives of millions worldwide, through his books.

Dr. Sarno has a great reputation as a healer. This reputation is NOT entirely accurate. I believe that the doctor himself would be the first to admit that he does NOT ACTUALLY CURE ANYONE with TMS. He merely diagnoses the condition and teaches the patient how to cure themselves. This type of treatment is called knowledge therapy. It consists of learning all about the pain condition and how to be rid of it.

Dr Sarno and The Medical System

Some medical professionals appreciate the work to which Dr. Sarno has devoted his life. They see his excellent results and realize that he must have some insight into the true cause of most common back pain. However, the majority feel that his work is exaggerated or even nonsensical. Most medical back doctors just can not admit that the emotional mind has such powerful control over the physical body. They also can not understand that the mind can cause the body harm, as well as benefit.

Doctors in related fields have often said that Dr. Sarno’s results must be a placebo or some form of mass hypnosis. MASS HYPNOSIS ? That’s quite a far fetched idea from a narrow minded doctor who does not even believe that the mind can influence the physical body in the first place…

The things that his critics can never take from Doctor John Sarno are his incredible results and his patients' never ending thanks. To many, John Sarno has been a voice of independence, wisdom and good sense in a medical system filled with bitter disappointments and failed treatments.

The Bottom Line on Dr Sarno

Doctor Sarno’s books are recommended reading for anyone interested in increasing their knowledge of back pain. Doctor Sarno has accomplished much and the world will not soon forget his contributions. Luckily, there are some promising young physicians who have taken up Dr. Sarno’s work and will carry on his ideas for the generations to come. A very personal THANK YOU to Dr. Sarno, from this author…
