Summary: Changed my life!
Review: If you suffer from back problems, buy this book!I had to make sure I reviewed this book because it has changed my life! I dealt with chronic back problems for over 10 years going to chiropractors, orthopedic doctors etc., and never had much success until reading this book. It does require a commitment on my part of spending 10-20 minutes every morning following the basic stretching program, but it makes all the difference. Thank you Dr Brownstein, I feel like I got my life back.

Summary: All orthopedic surgeons should be forced to read this book
Review: If your back hurts a little or a lot, try this book. It is very helpful, to the point, no non-sense. I tried physical therapy, anti-inflammatory drugs and was ready for cortizone injections because the pain was still bad (all recommendations of my back specialist, which I saw for 3 months). After a week of doing 45 minutes of daily stretching shown in this book, I felt a lot better. In two weeks, I quit the drugs. I am in my fourth week, almost pain free, feeling great and starting to exercise again. Thanks, Dr. Brownstein!

Summary: Meant to add this to my review
Review: In martial arts where back and knee injurys are all to common. This book is as close you can get as a first aid for your back. Art Browstein may not have the martial arts in mind, but this book worked so well, that it might as well be written for martial artist. There are many books written about how to take care of your back...yet every single one I read requires me to have a medical dictionary handy. Dr. Brownstein books is written in a manner, that anyone, even a 4 year old can truly understand what he is trying to share to us. To Dr, Brownstein...we thank you for sharing such wealth to us !

Summary: Hope at last
Review: My back went out recently while on a long bike ride after a really stressful day at work. I had to continue the last 5 miles while the pain got worse. Excruciating pain at night for last two weeks. Can't straighten up during day. Worse back pain I ever had. Two friends recommended their chiropractors, another recommended his rolfer. Two other friends told me of their back surgery, although one admitted he was worse off now and the other, a fellow bike rider whose surgeon told him never to ride again, said his pain was returning. I read this book by Brownstein. Fifty-five pages of stretches for the lower back, 32 pages of strethes for the back of the neck. Good explanation of mind-body connection. I've been doing the stretches for a couple of days and my back is feeling measurable better. The key here is that the writer sufferred from severe back problems and understands what we are dealing with.

Summary: It worked for my husband
Review: My husband was suffering from a herniated disk and was in much pain, seriously considering surgery. I saw this author on TV discussing the book & decided it was worth a try. The author is a doctor who has had numerous surgeries and developed this system of very simple stretches. The book says it will take 4-6 weeks to see improvement but my husband was pain free in 1 1/2 weeks.

Summary: The Natural Back Healing program has proved a useful guide
Review: The Natural Back Healing program not only has proved a useful guide for my patients, but also has become the core of my own personal back pain prevention program. I now devote twenty minutes daily to the simple exercises Dr. Brownstein prescribes. Ronald L. Hoffman M.D. host of "Health Talk" on WOR Radio and author of "Intelligent Medicine"

Summary: I have my life back!
Review: The words echoed in my ears, "you need three (3) fusions immediately!" To tell the truth, I was so frightened by what the Doctors were telling me, that I began to feel histerical. I had originally gone to the Doctor because of an unrelenting pain that seared down my right leg and exploded into my upper right foot. I also had incredible pain in my hips and lower back. All of this was just an ongoing problem that I had experienced for years but had exhilarated just recently. I did have the MRI done and then the nightmare began. As Dr. Brownstein says, "The medical community has gotton too good at showing us all the ugliness within our bodies." And with that information, they encouraged me into full blown back fusion surgery. Being a Metaphysical Student I just knew that there must be a better solution for me. During that week, a local talkshow host had Dr. Brownstein scheduled to be on the air with him. I learned about this and listened intently. I bought the book - read it - and began the first series of exercises. I told all five Doctors that I didn`t have anything to lose if I did this first, after all, I could always have the surgery. Within one month, I was feeling 40% better,and within another month I was almost 90% better. I`m not saying it was easy as it will be an ongoing process the rest of my life, but I can live a pretty normal life without pain. I walk four miles a day - swim for 35 minutes and stretch and strengthen by back with the exercises. It`s a good life and I thank God that I had the opportunity to fine the book and learn about this alternative before the three fusions. Needless to say I give this book five stars because it has truly given me my life back. THANK YOU Dr. Brownstein!

Summary: Brought my life back to me!
Review: There is no escape from back pain EXCEPT for this book! I thought I was doomed for a life of pain and pills. I thought I would never excercise again, play with my kids or just go for an afternoon walk. Dr. Brownstein's methods have saved my life - literally. Anyone who has suffered with the worst back pain knows the depression which comes along with the pain. I would go on campaign for this book if I could - that is how great it is. I have bought a copy for my parents and plan on giving it as gifts to others I know who suffer as well. You will feel your body come back to you, but you have to be faithful in your stretches and excercises, it is so worth it! I wish I could thank Dr. Brownstein personnally, so that is why I have written a review of his book. THANK YOU! BUY THE BOOK, BUY THE BOOK, BUY THE BOOK!
