There is no need to spend billions of dollars looking for a cure for chronic pain. The solutions have been known for decades with many people breaking free from its grip. Unfortunately, mainstream medicine has and continued to ignore the physiological and neuroscience data that has revealed the answers. Chronic pain is a complex neurological problem, which is, "....an embedded memory that becomes linked with more and more life experiences, and the memory can't be erased."

Back in Control provides a framework for you to understand the nature of chronic pain and will allow you to find your own solution based on well-established practices. Since it is a complex problem and you are a unique human being, the one person that can solve it is you. The principles apply to chronic pain involving any part of the body or organ system. The process evolved from the author's own 15-year experience with severe chronic pain.

The concepts provide a context of care and connect you with other highly-regarded professionals who are pioneers in the efforts to change the pain treatment paradigm. Some of them include Dr. John Sarno, author of Mind Over Back Pain; Dr. Howard Schubiner, who wrote Unlearn Your Pain; Dr. David Burns, a Stanford psychiatrist and author of Feeling Good; Dr. Fred Luskin who performed research on forgiveness at Stanford and authored Forgive for Good; David Allen who authored a brilliant book on organizing your life, Getting Things Done; and Dr. Anthony DeMello, whose last memoirs are presented in The Way to Love, which introduces you to the healing power of awareness.

The essence of solving physical or mental pain is connecting you to your own capacity to heal, which allows you to feel safe. Your body's chemistry is optimized with profound effects on your pain and sense of well-being. These concepts have been deeply researched by Dr. Steven Porges, the originator of The Polyvagal Theory.

Step into your new life with this largely self-directed process. An action plan is presented on Dr. Hanscom's website, www.backincontrol.com.

Surprisingly durable
Color: Yellow, Color: Yellow
*** UPDATE/EDIT: I bought this thing back in February 2024 and ten months later with nearly DAILY USE this bad boy is still going strong!! You can see in my video, filmed just now, that it's still in one piece and that despite the frequent play, she still LOVES it. It smells like rubber, which doesn't smell like roses to me... but all rubber toys are going to, and that's ok. I'm just so impressed with the durability. Really, really impressed. Between interest, durability and value, I say if you are looking for this kind of toy you should get it if your dog is an appropriate size. Ten months of daily, hard use of throwing, fetch, chewing, travel, overnights in the elements, you name it. There's no reason not to. It's the perfect chew toy IMHO. *** ORIGINAL REVIEW SEPTEMBER 2024: My Goldendoodle is great about destroying every chew toy I give her. She doesn't ruin shoes, she doesn't counter surf (ok she does, she just doesn't take anything) and she has learned to leave the scrunchies and socks where she finds them. Even the remote is safe. (She'll hide it, but it's not destroyed.) So the chew toys get completely mangled because they get her full attention. This toy? It has survived the worst of her chewing attention. Being a cardiac service dog, she goes everywhere with me, including trips, and this toy always gets packed. It's great to throw because it has a "handle" and chucks really well. She carries it easily, like a pacifier lol. And it somehow has survived. It's a bit of a challenge to get treats inside, so if your goal is to stuff it frequently, this might not be the right toy. But it's possible. As for durability, this has been in the top two or three for my girl. Worth the money. Keeps her entertained, which is important, lol...

Durable toy, keeps them busy
Color: Red
our trainer said our dogs needed cognitive toys and lick toys to help them calm down. I had doubts about this toy. I was pleasantly surprised when it kept them entertained off and on throughout the day. One would take a break and the other would start batting it around and licking at it. I squished some soft treats into the stem section, crunch treats of various size into the top hole (a couple freeze dried chunks of chicken that I know wouldn't come out easily), and mashed some squishy sweet potato treats into the side holes of the top. While it did take a bit of time to prep with all the different types of treats, it really kept them entertained for a long time. They are 40 pounds and decent chewers and haven't bitten off any rubber bits. Very durable.

Favorite toy of all time
Color: Red
I have had my dog for 12 years and this is truly the BEST toy I’ve ever bought her (and I’ve bought probably hundreds). I squish the soft-style treats into the holes and it keeps her occupied for a good chunk of time. She loves it. I usually do it multiple times a day with a few different types of treats. She is an extremely aggressive chewer and has never damaged this toy. Now that she’s older I’m especially appreciate of this toy because it keeps her brain active and gives her something to do when she’s not feeling up to a walk.

Tough toy but even tougher to get clean!
Color: Red
My puppy is an aggressive chewer and he was only semi-interested in this toy. It hasn't been my favorite, either, due to it being pretty difficult to clean thoroughly. The toy is, however, very durable and its thick rubber has held up to the many bounces on hard floors and tough chew sessions it's been subjected to over the past few months.

A pup favorite and has held up well!
Color: Yellow
My adult dogs really like this treat feeder and love working to get the goodies out of it! It’s held up well over many months despite their biting and gnawing on it, so a good purchase overall. It’s also different than the usual Kongs so adds some variety to their feeder puzzle repertoire to keep up the diversity of mental stimulation.
