There's a little-known method for eliminating back pain that uses the power of your mind. This method works under the premise that about 90% of all illnesses are caused by people's minds. Therefore, most of the illnesses you suffer from can also be reversed by your mind. You may actually have heard of this mind power technique before, but you just haven't associated it with back pain. Many people call this technique "visualization" and it is commonly used in such relaxation techniques as yoga and meditation.

Finally, we come to belief readjustment. The power of your mind works this way: If you believe that you are doomed to experience back pain for the rest of your life, then you probably will. Therefore, you will have to overhaul your belief system so that you can look forward to becoming permanently free from back pain. You've heard of the placebo effect, right?
