I’ve been reading Dr. Schubiner’s book, which is based on his program – Unlearn Your Pain. It is awesome! I am digging deep into my past to coordinate my symptoms with my experiences and relationships.

Hello Anne and thanks for writing about back pain, the bane of so
many people’s (and doctors) existence. I have found that most back
pain is caused by learned nerve pathways, rather than a disease process in the back itself. That realization shocked me several
years ago and the results of simply addressing the underlying cause has amazed me ever since. There is a blind spot in the world of medicine–we assume that back pain means a disease in the back.
This explains why so many back pain treatments are ineffective: they are looking in the wrong place.
