Summary of David L. Schechter's Think Away Your Pain

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#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.
