Summary: This approach to back pain has made a real difference for me
Review: I've suffered from lower back pain from years and it seemed to be getting progressively worse, regardless of many visits to several chiropractors and physical therapists. Last year, I finally went to Dr. Harry Oxenhandler for help, and he has turned things around for me. This book encapsulates his approach to diagnosis and non-surgical treatment of a heretofore unappreciated but apparently very common back problem. If you've had little or no success with other approaches, this may be the one for you. If you're a physician frustrated by your limited ability to offer real relief to patients with lower back pain, this is the book for you. It emphasizes straightforward diagnostic techniques and self-therapy through stretching. It's all here.

Summary: Highly educational and practical
Review: One of the most common medical complaints today is about back problems. From people who just suffer through the pain to those who visit the chiropractor weekly to those who try to resolve the problems through physical therapy or surgery. In "The Humpty Dumpty Syndrome" author Harry Oxenhandler points out that many lower back pain problems are related to pelvic tilt. The book goes over pelvic tilt in great detail. Chapters cover the types of x-rays used to diagnose it, how to read the x-rays, how lift therapy helps the condition, exercises that can help alleviate the problem, and many other aspects of pelvic tilt. The focus of the book seems to be a combination of teaching the reader about pelvic tilt and preparing the reader to be able to discuss it with their doctor. If you are experiencing problems with your back you may find a solution to your problems in this book. "The Humpty Dumpty Syndrome" is a highly recommended read for its educational value in helping people understand lower back problems.

Summary: "Lift" Yourself up with this Book
Review: This wonderful book is particularly valuable for several reasons, most importantly, it is writtin in a style, with illustrations and photos that average non-medical readers can use.
The exercises recommended and explained carefully, can truly relieve or eliminate pain. If the diagnosis of a problem had indicated surgery and yet "pain" is relieved by following the exercises and suggestions, perhaps, that diagnosis was not correct. Give this book a chance, you'll be pleased!
