Hi. Richard, here. An associate brought it to my attention recently that pain, or the perception thereof, can actually be due to one's state of mind — sometimes.
I'm not usually inclined to subject myself to the claim that back pain is "all in your head" as my experience has proven otherwise; however, I do know that my state of mind can make a difference. Much of my pain is muscular (due to inflammation from various injuries), and if I am tense or worried or upset for some reason (and it's an easy state to get in these days given the state of the world, this country and the economy, no?), I know my pain, or the perception thereof, can worsen.
So… having been reminded of this, and having already recommended BrainSync, I've decided it's probably appropriate to recommend another resource.
I've had some positive experience with this, so this isn't just out of the blue. Wendi.com now uses some of the same brain entrainment techniques, or at least similar, as those that BrainSync uses, and I have found her recordings very relaxing, and sometimes helpful with the pain.
There's a lot more available than just healing and back pain relief, some of which can also help with pain, such as sleeping better, losing weight, dealing with depression, etc., so I've decided to just link to the site rather than the specific back pain relief product. The site's fairly easy to navigate, so if you're primarily interested in back pain relief, you shouldn't have any trouble finding that or other related programs:
As for my situation, I may be headed for more surgery. It hasn't helped so far, but some technician thinks they've found something in my latest MRI. I'd hate to think that much of my suffering has been due to all those other technicians missing something obvious in the past, but whatever.
Anyway… I'll be headed to another doc soon for another evaluation, and if surgery is in the offing, I guess I'll consider it. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to dedicate more time and energy to this site one of these days…
Wish me luck, and of course I wish you much luck with your pain as well.

Although given the camera angles, this video is probably more meant to be sexy entertainment than to help those with back pain, the movements shown do appear to be valid. Please be sure to consult with your primary physician first though about your condition before trying.
For those who may be interested, we thought we'd post this as a potential informational resource from our founder (click on the image to go to the site). There is a fair amount of information that is available for free, a free report, and an ebook that is reasonably priced.
This looks like pretty good advice. Just be careful! And don’t even try it if your pain is severe — at least not without medical advice and supervision!
The Spine-Worx Back Realignment Device is one of several similar devices now available for back pain sufferers. You’ve probably seen this advertised on TV. One might be skeptical about a device so simple in design, but our founder has used a similar device and has found it to be helpful. Such devices are generally advertised to help with lower back pain, primarily, but Richard has upper back and shoulder pain in addition to lower back pain, and perhaps surprisingly, he has been using the device primarily to help with the upper back pain. As we said, the device he is using is similar, but not this exact product. We hope to post more information on that and other similar devices sometime in the near future.
Designed by a chiropractor, this natural back support system uses your body’s own weight to apply controlled pressure to the spinal vertebrae. As you lie on Spine-Worx, your spine is pressed firmly against the length of its two unique padded and contoured rails, injection-molded to fit the natural shape of the mid- and lower back. The vertebrae in the spine are gradually and gently encouraged to realign into their natural positions, which helps to relieve back pain for many.
If you are not prepared to make the leap just yet, keep an eye out for our future posts as we hope to be posting more about other similar devices and if we can, will hopefully be able to do some comparisons and give our visitors a little more guidance as to which device (if any) might be best for differing conditions.
