Does Back Pain Come From The Mind?
Manage episode 438105266 series 3070941
Could back pain be caused by repressed emotions? That was the theory put forth by the late Dr John Sarno - an American rehab physician who split opinions down the middle when it came to treating chronic back pain. On one side, those who support Sarno’s theory that back pain stems from the way the brain deals with emotions. On the other side, scientists and doctors who say Sarno's tension myoneural syndrome is not based on evidence. We sit down with consultant orthopaedic surgeon Dr Rajesh Singh to unpack these ideas.
