Mind Over Back Pain

Healing Your Body and Mind
Book •
Dr.

John Sarno's "Mind Over Back Pain" explores the mind-body connection in chronic pain, particularly back pain.

Sarno argues that many cases of chronic pain are caused by psychological factors, such as repressed emotions and stress, rather than physical damage.

The book details Sarno's clinical experiences and research, presenting a compelling case for the role of the mind in pain perception.

He emphasizes the importance of emotional healing and self-awareness in pain management.

Sarno's work has been both praised and criticized, but it has significantly influenced the understanding of chronic pain and its treatment.

The book encourages readers to take control of their pain by addressing underlying psychological issues.
