It's no secret that back pain has reached near epidemic proportions in the US.  But you may be surprised to find out that back pain is often (though not always) caused by emotional stress.  Dr. John Sarno has written several excellent books on this syndrome, which he has named "Tension Myositis Syndrome."  The TMS section of the website provides a summary of how back pain and many other mind/body disorders develop.  And more importantly, it explains how to cure them.  Check out the TMS Media page for articles and transcripts.  Read through the TMS Mechanism to find out how the syndrome develops, and then read through the How to Cure TMS section and the TMS Case Study to learn how to get rid of it.  Check out the Directory to locate the TMS physician nearest to you.  Visit the Discussion Board to share your thoughts with others.

I am a strong supporter of Dr. Sarno and his approach, and I think everyone can benefit by understanding his theory.  However, it is possible that your back pain (or other symptoms) is caused by something serious, like a tumor, an infection, or severe osteoporosis.  If you are suffering from severe back pain, it's important to get it checked out by a physician, preferably one that is familiar with TMS.
