"ScienceDaily (Dec. 22, 2006) — Psychological interventions for chronic low back pain are effective, a new review of studies has found. Not only do these approaches improve psychological outcomes such as depression and health-related quality of life, they also reduce patients' experience of pain."

The article went on to say:
"In the broadest analysis, psychological interventions -- alone or as part of a multidisciplinary approach -- proved to be superior to waiting lists or standard treatments on the entire range of pain-related outcomes.

When the researchers analyzed specific outcomes, they found that the largest and most consistent effect was a reduction in pain intensity. "


Though the research was not a thorough examination of all emotional techniques for neck pain relief and back pain relief - it's important to understand that the connection between emotions and pain.

For some people, enjoying neck and back pain relief through the emotional connection may take a few treatments while many others may find complete pain relief in as little as 7 minutes using a little-known technique that you can do, by yourself, at home.

Also note, releasing the negative impact of emotions is one method in a multi-faceted approach for successful pain relief - physical and nutritional components are also important to consider.
