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.

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.
The REAL-EaSE(R) cervical shaped neck support helps release neck and shoulder tension. Suggested use is 10 to 15 minutes a day. It cradles your neck at the base of your skull and thereby create a gentle traction that helps release muscle tension in the neck, and apparently, or so some say, in the shoulders and jaw. It is very small and lightweight and so good for the traveller. It takes the weight of your head off the shoulders and neck, allowing for full, deep, total relaxation.
Although opinions vary widely, our founder bought one and likes it. He says, "I read someone’s comment somewhere that it is very uncomfortable to use. I have found the exact opposite to be true. I mainly use it before retiring. If nothing else, it is very relaxing."
We realize we've been a little slow about adding more information and resources. We are currently in negotiations with medical professionals to add more content, and of course, we are all always busy with other projects. Nevertheless, we do still hope to be improving the site and, in the very near future, to be adding resources and information you will find useful. Meanwhile, we have created a sign-up form for our founder's e-book that we believe some of our visitors may be interested in.
Yes, Richard is writing an e-book, among other things, even now, but he wants it to be as useful as possible to his readers so he is taking his time on it and giving its content considerable thought. It may be a little while, but when finished, it will be 100% free and is expected to include some of his personal experience and philosophy, as well as various exercises, supplements, and resources he has found helpful over the years.
If you would like to be alerted when the e-book becomes available, please fill out the submission form below:
