I'm currently lining up a surgeon to do a nerve decompression surgery, which took me 1.5 years to find a surgeon who even does the surgery, for what took me 15 years to learn on my own is something called piriform is syndrome - for which no other doctor or specialist even looked into relating to "sciatica" pain for which it can mimick; it's no wonder many people suffer without resolution, most doctors don't seem even look at known possibilities.

The mind can also be strong, so it seems you may be able to teach some people who's mind isn't too disabled or interrupted by their pain level to engage more strongly to overcome and mask pain signal(s) coming from their body and therefore "heal" it simply with mindfulness.
