Pain syndromes look so 'physical' it is particularly difficult for doctors to consider the possibility that they might be caused by psychological factors, and so they cling to the structural explanation.

Introduction
Pain is an alert system designed to bring our attention to a problem within the body. This leads us to believe that if we are in pain, the problem must be physiological.
But what if your pain is caused by something else? Intense emotions are not only experienced in your mind; your body is affected as well.
Dr. John E. Sarno was a professor of rehabilitation medicine at NYU School of Medicine. He developed the term 'Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS) to describe physical pain that is the result of a psychological source.
In his 1991 book Healing Back Pain, Dr. Sarno teaches us about TMS and how we can heal from it.
