Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The best treatment for back and neck pain is often little or no treatment at all. Minimal to no difference has been found between chiropractic, medication, or physical therapy for acute pain as compared to a simple educational booklet.
#2 Medical care often leads to the pill bottle, a needle-tipped syringe, or the scalpel. The results are often inadequate pain relief or even additional pain and suffering at a tremendous cost.
#3 Back surgery is especially unsuccessful when the patient has suffered childhood psychological distress, according to research by Jerome Schofferman and his co-researchers from the San Francisco Spine Institute.
#4 The most important fact is that your brain might be the source of your pain. Your negative emotions, such as fear, anxiety, stress, grief, and anger, trigger real changes in your brain that cause nerves to send pain signals or to amplify existing sensations inappropriately.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The best treatment for back and neck pain is often little or no treatment at all. Minimal to no difference has been found between chiropractic, medication, or physical therapy for acute pain as compared to a simple educational booklet.

#2

Medical care often leads to the pill bottle, a needle-tipped syringe, or the scalpel. The results are often inadequate pain relief or even additional pain and suffering at a tremendous cost.

#3

Back surgery is especially unsuccessful when the patient has suffered childhood psychological distress, according to research by Jerome Schofferman and his co-researchers from the San Francisco Spine Institute.

#4

The most important fact is that your brain might be the source of your pain. Your negative emotions, such as fear, anxiety, stress, grief, and anger, trigger real changes in your brain that cause nerves to send pain signals or to amplify existing sensations inappropriately.

#5

A patient who has failed many treatments, but is open to this one, presents a high likelihood of success. The patient was a professional woman, about 45 years old, well-dressed, successful and articulate. She had crippling back pain that began the day after she received traumatic personal news.

#6

The patient was eventually able to find a surgeon who was able to diagnose and treat her condition. After the surgery, the surgeon came back to talk to her, surrounded by several fellow surgeons and residents. He admitted that he had cut through a portion of her nerve, and she would have foot pain for the rest of her life.

#7

When dealing with patients who suffer from back pain, I always look for the root of the problem to be in the mind rather than the body. The mind can constrict blood flow to various parts of the back, resulting in tenderness.

#8

The patient was able to cure her pain by following the steps outlined in this book. She was able to understand that her mind could both hurt her and cure her, and she began to see that it was not her body that was causing the pain.

#9

The world’s most advanced medical community has made a massive mistake in treating pain. Doctors are trained to look for problems in the body as the causes of pain, but when the mind, brain, and emotions are the root cause, it is often missed.

#10

Pain psychologists take as a given that a patient’s pain cannot be fixed by psychological methods and approaches. They aim to teach behavioral techniques to manage, control, and adapt to the pain.

#11

This book is your guide to beginning your pain healing journey. It explains the basics of pain, including what causes it and how the mind is in control of it. It also provides a detailed plan of attack to banish it.

#12

There are different ways to read this book: you can read it straight through, start with the patient stories, and then proceed to the Twelve Stages of Healing. Or you can find your own way through the material and reflect on what you have read.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

Pain is a normal function of the body. It is more complex than commonly believed, and it usually goes away on its own. It is best to approach the discomfort in a logical and informed way.

#2

Pain is a perplexing, disturbing, and life-altering condition. It can cost you your job, produce huge medical bills, strain your marriage, and even lead to depression. When an attack is unexpected and frightening, many patients head down the road of lasting pain even though the pain should pass quickly.

#3

The process of beating pain starts with how you deal with acute attacks. If you are suffering from one now, the point of this section is to help you stop the acute attack from turning into a long-term problem.

#4

Pain is a signal that alerts the brain to respond. It is designed to warn you of danger and motivate you to avoid it. It is worth the price if it alerts you to avoid further injury.

#5

Pain is very important. People can die if their pain signaling does not function correctly. A small number of people are born without the ability to feel pain properly or even at all.
