Lower back pain: In addition to seeing your doctor, you can search for John Sarno, MD, on the net. He has a mind body approach to physical pain. B e sure to see your doctor first. Both approaches can work together. Peace and good health.

See details: The first thing is to evaluate the problem to determine the cause and find out what treatments are needed. This should be done before any other approaches. An orthopedist or rheumatologist would be the most appropriate first step.
