evidence vs. structural abnormalities

[reggiehg]

Hi,

I just purchased The Divided Mind, & am enjoying reading it. I just finished the Chronic Pain Syndromes: A Modern Plague section when I remembered that in Healing Back Pain, Dr. Sarno referenced research where a majority of a group had structural abnormalities but did not experience any pain.

I'm wondering whether this is also referenced in this latest book, & whether there are even more studies confirming that.

Sorry, I'm just impatient to know that before finishing this book.

Best regards,

Reggie Guevara
