Healing Back Pain

By: John E. Sarno M.D.

Narrated by: John E. Sarno M.D.

Do you have back, neck, or shoulder pain that keeps recurring or won't go away? Do you have to "baby" your back? Does back pain keep you from living a full life? If so, you may be suffering from TMS - (Tension Myositis Syndrome) - and you don't have to take it anymore!

Dr. John E. Sarno, author of the revolutionary book Mind Over Back Pain, is a medical pioneer whose program has helped patients overcome their back conditions- without drugs or dangerous surgery. Now, using his latest research into TMS, Dr. Sarno goes one step further. After identifying stress and other psychological factors in back pain, he demonstrates how many of his patients have then gone on to heal themselves without exercise or other physical therapy.

Discover why self-motivated and successful people are prone to TMS, how anxiety and repressed anger trigger muscle spasms, how people "train themselves" to experience back pain, and how you may get relief from back pain within two to six weeks by recognizing TMS and its causes.

This book saved my life

After suffering chronic pain (upper and lower back, sciatica, leg, foot, etc) for almost a year, and after trying all physical therapies possible, I found Dr. Sarnos books and immediately understood the ROOT CAUSE of my illnesses. Through understanding the underlying causes by reading the books, and then focusing on my repressed emotions (through psychotherapy, journaling, meditation, etc) , I was able to overcome my symptoms and returned to having my normal life again, inclusive of excercise (even ran my first full marathon after healing). Dr Sarno was ahead of his time, and I cannot suggest his books enough. Thank You Dr Sarno 🙏

Fantastic information

The information in this book had help me a lot with my sciatica in just few days. I am very grateful with Dr Sarno for sharing this information. One of few books you can really get the steps you need to follow to heal. Highly recommended!

Genius

John Sarno is a genius. Seriously. Someday medicine will realize it. He has saved my life!

The real deal

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I recommend Dr. Sarno and his work to anyone who suffers chronic pain of any kind.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Healing Back Pain?

A number of the case examples strike to the core. His explanation of TMS, and how it works is very clear.

What about John E. Sarno???s performance did you like?

That it is Dr. Sarno himself who reads the book that really makes it good. He has a kind but authoritative voice, and his concern for his patients is obvious.

Any additional comments?

I suggest listening to the book in conjunction with reading his other book, 'The Mind-Body Prescription'. As soon as you accept the truth of what he is saying, you will be free of pain. It worked for me after 20 years and having tried everything else.

I understand why some reviewers are skeptical, but they don't seem to grasp the basic concept, that it is the KNOWLEDGE of TMS that breaks the pain chain. Once you 'get it' you are free.

I recommend you keep a journal and really drill down into all the things that cause you anger, resentment, stress, and anxiety. Do so while keeping in mind the personality traits that often lend themselves to TMS. You'll be surprised how much gunk bubbles up. As you do this while considering everything Dr. Sarno speaks about, at some point the nickel drops, and you're home free.

This book changed my life
