Ease Chronic Pain Through Mind-Body Method | Howard Schubiner

If you suffer from irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia, migraine, or back pain, it may pay to look beyond physical causes to what’s happening in your life—and in your mind.

Watch our exclusive episode, only on NTD.

For comedian and co-creator of “Seinfeld” Larry David, dealing with his chronic back pain from a mind-body standpoint brought overnight relief.

He says his overnight relief from chronic back pain was the closest thing he’d ever had to a “religious experience.”

“All of a sudden I could feel my whole body kind of straightening out, I’m hearing cracks in my neck, all of a sudden the pain is gone,” he said.

David is one among a string of celebrities, including Howard Stern, Jimmy Kimmel, and TV journalist John Stossel, who claim relief through tapping into their back pain’s deeper roots.

On “Vital Signs,” leading expert on chronic pain and mind-body medicine Dr. Howard Schubiner reveals how pain is created in the brain and how it can be “unlearned” through reprocessing, emotional awareness, and expressive therapies.

A clinical professor of medicine at Michigan State University, Schubiner worked alongside mind-body medicine pioneer Dr. John Sarno in the early 2000s.

“Healthy People have degenerative disc disease, bulging discs, spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis. Healthy people have those without pain,” Schubiner said.

“Dr. Sarno … was able to differentiate people’s back pain into structural versus non-structural. Non-structural can be reversed, because there’s no damage, actually, to the back.”

“Ease Back Pain PART 1” illustrates the guided shifts in thinking and awareness that can lead to chronic pain relief.

“It was just the education and understanding about it that freed [Larry David’s] mind for him to say, oh my goodness, my back isn’t actually damaged. There’s nothing wrong with me.”
