Rating: Summary: This book is the best defense against unneeded surgery. Review: As an orthopaedic surgeon, I try everything possible to avoid surgery on back pain patients. This book outlines great strategies to deal with back pain in ways which don't involve surgery. Although operations have their place, every non-surgical option within reason should be explored first. This book is a well-written guide to that process and should be required reading for any patient contemplating surgery for back pain.
Rating: Summary: One of the most easily understood pain mgt books I've read Review: As far as pain mgt books go, usually they are overally verbose and ridden with medical jargon that makes it difficult to understand the reason you are reading the book in the first place...why does this hurt and how can I make it stop hurting? Back Pain for Dummies was so practical and to the point that just reading it made my back pain lessen. I highly rec this book to anyone who experiences back pain, especially if they are fed up with the pain associated with some doctor try to over-explain something that could be done in 10 words or less. Back Pain for dummies definately implements the K.I.S.S. method for understanding back pain. Keep it simple and make the #@*! pain go away.

Rating: Summary: The most helpful book on back pain I've ever read. Review: Having had back problems for almost 15 years, I have read just about every book available. Back Pain for Dummies is by far the best. It delivers very practical and easy-to-understand advice and practices that helped me more than a dozen chiropractors ever did. This book should be in the waiting room for every back specialist in the country. If I ever get to meet this Dr. Sinel, I'm going to give him the biggest bear hug ever (keeping my back straight, lifting with my legs...)
