Back pain through a mind-body lens

John E. Sarno presents back pain through his Tension Myoneural Syndrome (TMS) framework, linking symptoms to stress and other psychological factors. The book sets out ways to identify those factors and understand how anxiety and repressed anger may be connected to muscle spasms. Case histories and discussion of mind-body research accompany Sarno’s account of recognizing emotional roots and separating mental and physical pain. This is a particular explanatory approach to chronic back conditions, centered on psychological influences and self-directed recovery rather than medication, surgery, or exercise.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in psychological explanations of chronic back pain
  • Readers exploring mind-body approaches to pain management
  • Those seeking a book that combines case histories with discussion of stress and back pain
