Back Sense presents a treatment approach for chronic back pain based on scientific advances which show that most chronic back pain is caused by stress, fear, muscle tension, and inactivity, rather than by damage to the spine. It is a step-by-step program that includes activities, exercises, and techniques to work with fear of movement and other stress in your life. The Back Sense program works for most back and neck pain, including most people diagnosed with a herniated, ruptured, or bulging disk; degenerative disk disease, sciatica, fibromyalgia, myofascial pain, and related chronic pain.
