I'll be back...:

TERRIFIC BOOK! I can't praise this book enough. I ruptured a disc in my lower back in Dec., 2006. I spent 9 months as a semi-cripple. I went thru a series of 3 cortisone injections into my spine. They helped, but not completely. You are only allowed to have 3 shots in a 1 year period, and mine started wearing off after 5 months. I was looking at back surgery, which was very, very scary. I was so depressed about it.

This really works.:

I have recommended this book countless times. In 1997 I was disabled due to back pain: could barely walk, was on prescription pain meds, muscle relaxers, sleeping pills, couldn't work, couldn't sleep.

On the other hand I also bought Treat Your Own Neck by the same author and its absolutely excellent. It really has kept me pain free.
