Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Back pain: You need to find out the cause of your back pain by consulting w/your doctor. He/she may suggest physical therapy or a change in your lifestyle. Turmeric is a good natural anti-inflammatory after you know what is going on. A mind-body approach to pain can be found by searching John Sarno, MD, on the web. Peace and good health.
