A Healthy Society Series: Unlearn Your Pain. Freeing Your Body From Chronic Pain.

Chronic pain is a debilitating and very common condition. Tension headaches, and lower back and neck pain are listed among the top 10 leading causes of disability around the world, with billions of people experiencing pain on a recurring basis. Studies show that up to 50 percent of the population might experience chronic pain conditions during their lifetime. The latest breakthroughs in neuroscience and clinical practice could unlock game-changing approaches to treating chronic pain: a complete elimination of pain instead of “managing” it as a chronic condition. Dr. Howard Schubiner, a medical researcher, clinician and author of Unlearn Your Pain, will review new forms of treatment for various chronic pain conditions including, but not limited to, lower back, neck, arms, legs, or general pain conditions like fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.

I just watched your awesome talk on Google. Years ago someone gave me a book on how pain is in our mind and I was insulted. I was believing in all the medical information about how damaged my spine was. Even the surgeon reinforced it by saying he'd never seen a blown out back as bad as mine. I have been a prisoner for 23 years of chronic pain after trying everything possible holistic & otherwise.
I have been studying spiritual healing because I have had no hope in a system that only treats symptoms and I believe our bodies were meant to heal everything. I've been studying the concept that everything we believe is just that a belief. And we have rolled so many beliefs into facts that we just get more confused when the facts are refuted.
I am so thankful for your work. I have only one difference to contribute. I believe the brain and/or mind in it's static state of neuroplasticity is mostly neutral except for It's autonomic basic life support programming and most of the disorders come from the beliefs in the mind controlling it.
So I am thrilled to have another avenue in my research, especially when it supports my current study.
Thank you for your fabulous & humane work!!!

What about low back pain due to bulging discs / tears where pain is there CONTINUOUSLY and doesn’t come & go?
