As an elder, I remember when the family physician brought the patient back to his (usually his then) office to discuss his findings after the exam. By taking the person to his office, rather than talking in the exam room, it created a whole different environment for the discussion.....more personal, somehow felt more private, and there was no feeling of being rushed. The doctor spent what usually was no more than a few moments but the feeling was that he had all the time in the world to instruct and be sure that the patient understood. That type of medicine is now history and the level of comfort that provided has left us less than comforted after leaving our doctor visit today. That along with diagnoses being handled by test after test....most needless if we had doctors still practicing with plain old common sense or if our medical industry had not developed into the monstrosity that it has become. Yes, medicine does now provide many wonderful cures and we should be thankful for those. But for those of us who are suffering the type of pain that Dr. Sarno is discussing, these modern ways are of no use. This book is a true blessing. As an old woman, I learned that much of the physical pain I have suffered over the years was not going to kill me and simply went on with my life not letting it hold me back. That's nothing special since it's something we all do if we realize that familiar pain is back again. We nurse ourselves through it and get on with life. However, if a person does not realize that, they wind up living in fear, afraid that something terrible is happening to them, leading diminished lives. In this book and his book, The Divided Mind, he is able to put us at rest so that we can begin the work that helps us most....working with our ability to deal with stress and all that the subconscious creates in the physical. I have not expressed what I want to say very well. But I cannot imagine any person not benefiting from Dr. Sarno's books.

Healing Back Pain: The Mind-Body Connection Overview
Do you have back, neck, or shoulder pain that keeps recurring or won't go away? 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 is a medical pioneer whose mind-body approach has helped patients overcome their back conditions—without drugs or dangerous surgery. After indentifying 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. With case histories and the results of in-depth mind-body research, Dr. Sarno describes how patients recognize the emotional roots of their TMS and sever the connections between mental and physical pain.
Healing Back Pain: The Mind-Body Connection Specifications
Healing Back Pain promises permanent elimination of back pain without drugs, surgery, or exercise. It should have been titled Understanding TMS Pain, because it discusses one particular cause of back pain--Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS)--and isn't really a program for self-treatment, with only five pages of action plan (and many more pages telling why conventional methods don't work). According to John E. Sarno, M.D., TMS is the major cause of pain in the back, neck, shoulders, buttocks, and limbs--and it is caused not by structural abnormalities but by the mind's effort to repress emotions. He's not saying that your pain is all in your head; rather, he's saying that the battle going on in your mind results in a real physical disorder that may affect muscles, nerves, tendons, or ligaments. An injury may have triggered the disorder, but is not the cause of the amount or intensity of the resulting pain. According to Sarno, the mind tricks you into not facing repressed emotion by making you focus on pain in the body. When this realization sinks in ("and it must sink in, for mere intellectual appreciation of the process is not enough"), the trick doesn't work any more, and there's no need for the pain. (Healing Back Pain should not be used for self-diagnosis. Always consult a physician for chronic or acute back pain.) --Joan Price
