Summary: Saved My Back
Review: Almost 30 years ago, my back was on a downward spiral. I progressed from annual episodes of "throwing my back out" to almost daily pain that varied from mildly annoying to activity stopping. I consulted doctors and chiropractors. As I was not bad enough for surgery, the doctors had little to offer. One chiropractor gave me an excellent treatment that seemed to cure me for a couple of years. He retired, and I was not helped by other chiropractors.Then I found Dr. Root's book. The latest version is "No More Aching Back", Signet(November 1991), ISBN 0-451-17091-1. I started doing his easy exercises, and my back pain went away gradually over the course of a few months. I've continued doing some of his exercises pretty consistently for almost 20 years, and I have not had a significant episode of back pain in that time. Recently, I went to an orthopedic surgeon for a knee injury. Most of the other patients in his waiting room were being treated for back pain. Some needed weekly physical therapy and drugs to help them through the day. If I did not find Dr. Root's book, I think I would have suffered like them. I've recommended the book to more people than Dr. Root's mother. My back feels great. Good luck.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: I recently went through a herniated disc. It has been the most painful and depressing thing I have ever experienced. The first two months I couldn't even walk and the rest four months I was able to bearly function, but with only one thing in my mind: PAIN. I wished I would had bought this book from day one I started with the pain, or even better, before everything ever happened. I would had learned to take better care of myself and to catch those red flags my boddy was sending me. It is easy to read and it teaches you how to deal with it and how to prevent future sciatic pain. I have done everything here and it really helped. There is another book that is also good which I just read about a week ago: "The Sciatica Relief Handbook". It was also good.

Summary: Excellent source
Review: This book is an excellent source for practical information concerning the health and care of your back, plus it really is a fifteen minute workout of exercises that really work. I have been doing the exercises and no more back stress.
