Healing Back Pain

“ Healing Back Pain ” is one of the greatest books ever written about common chronic back pain. This book was written by Dr. John Sarno and published in 1991. The book is the successor to Dr. Sarno’s “Mind Over Back Pain”, published in 1984. In the time between books, Dr. Sarno had time to revise and clarify many of his theories on TMS.

Healing Back Pain


Tension Myositis Syndrome is the condition that Dr. Sarno specializes in treating. This pain syndrome often chooses back pain as it’s main manifestation. However, TMS patients may suffer from many other psychologically induced pain syndromes (PIPS) besides back pain.

TMS is a physical condition that is caused directly by a psycho-emotional process. The actual method used to create the pain is oxygen deprivation to the nerves, tendons, ligaments and muscles. This process is created by the subconscious mind, using the autonomic nervous system as its enforcer.

Healing Back Pain Recommendation

I have read all the books by Dr. Sarno. I still find “ Healing Back Pain ” to be the very best. The book has a certain appeal to chronic back pain patients, since it discusses the condition in a way that we have all experienced. There are many case studies and patient stories that create such a feeling of empathy from the reader. As I read the book, I found myself saying, “That is me... I had that too... Wow, I am just like this guy…” It is amazing.

Whether you suffer from psychological or physical back pain, or any other PIPS, I would highly recommend this book. The knowledge contained in these pages is precious and wonderful. If more health care providers would follow some of the suggestions outlined in this book, the chronic back pain epidemic would be a thing of the past…

I would also highly recommend the follow up to this book. “The Mindbody Prescription”, published in 1998, is a more involved work from Dr. Sarno. This book goes beyond TMS, to describe how the mind can influence many areas of our general health. Don’t miss it.
