Placebo Cure for Back Pain
Placebo Cure for Back Pain ConditionsThe back pain industry is comprised of traditional and complementary medical providers who basically believe almost ALL back pain is the result of some anatomical spinal abnormality or problematic physical, structural condition. Some doctors blame the bones, while others blame the muscles. Every doctor has advice on a variety of treatment options, although most of these have shown abysmal curative results in patients with chronic back pain. The way that medical science has failed the average patient is by leaving the mind out of the back pain equation, in both the causative and curative roles.Placebo Cure for Back Pain / Mind and Body InteractionsHealth is not a purely physical process. Science has proven the link between the mind and the body in the creation of disease, as well as miraculous recovery from illness. Science has further proven that conscious emotional issues contribute to states of both good health and sickness. More recently, research has proven the link between repressed subconscious issues and the creation of psychosomatic pain syndromes. Despite all this PROVEN research, the back pain industry basically flat out denies that these processes can ever be responsible for physical back pain and related symptoms. This denial comes despite the utter failure of most accepted medical treatment options and the brilliant successes of psychological therapies to completely CURE back pain. The precise failure of the medical community is this stubborn persistence in not acknowledging the obvious link between the symptoms in the physical body and causative conditions in the subconscious mind. This is not some new age science fiction; this is modern age SCIENCE…Placebo Cure for Back Pain SurprisesTo add insult to injury, it turns out that many patients who have actually received some relief from these same accepted medical treatments, did so through the power of PLACEBO. That’s right. The medical system has accused psychological treatments of being a placebo cure, while all along many of their own therapies fit this description to the letter. It has been proven through countless patient histories that many medical and complementary therapies work simply because the patient believes the treatment will help. This fact applies to chiropractic, physical therapy, exercises and surgery. That’s right… I said even BACK SURGERY can be a placebo…The evidence for this process comes from the many cases of misdiagnosed back pain conditions which respond to inappropriate medical treatment. Logically, the treatments should have no effect, yet they often do produce temporary positive results in many patients. Unfortunately, due to the placebo nature of these therapies, the results do not last and the pain comes back, moves to another location or morphs into a case of back pain substitute symptoms. Placebo Cure for Back Pain AdvicePlacebos are to be avoided at all costs. The temporary effect of a placebo will only dash a patient’s hopes once the pain returns. Most chronic pain patients, including myself, experienced a variety of placebo effects during our quest for back pain relief. For me, the best placebo turned out to be chiropractic. For years, I was convinced that my regular chiropractic adjustments were keeping my bad back “in check” and preventing it from becoming worse. If I could not get to the chiropractor when I felt it was necessary, my back pain would invariably become worse. This is the power of psychosomatic pain and the benefit of a placebo treatment in full effect! Eventually, I came to accept the fact that my chiropractic treatment was simply a waste of time, since there was nothing at all wrong with my spine. My pain came from a harmless, but horribly symptomatic condition called tension myositis syndrome. This is the most common cause of all chronic pain, regardless of where in the body it is experienced. Quitting chiropractic cold turkey was one of the most difficult things I ever had to do in my life. I clearly remember the sense of dread I felt as I missed appointment after appointment... As time wore on, my confidence in the NEW and ACCURATE diagnosis grew strong. Years later, I thank GOD and Dr. Sarno for the knowledge which allowed me to see my pain (as well as the pain experienced by others) objectively. If I can help you beat your pain, please write to me with your experiences and I promise to do my best to assist you.
