THIS BOOK WAS VERY INFORMATIVE AND HELPFUL, ESPECIALLY IN MY DISCUSSION'S WITH MY DOCTOR AND THERAPIST.

In-depth information on sciatica is hard to find, yet supposedly, thousands of people suffer from it every year. This book provides a great deal of information without getting too technical, including a description of what happens when you visit a physical therapist for help. The author reviews both conventional and alternative treatment options, including simple ways to prevent flare-ups. Nothing else in print really compares!

This book has changed my life for the better. Sceptical at first, I tried some of the natural and alternative remedies outlined in the book. To my amazement one particular simple exercise described in the book virtually eliminated my sciatica symptoms. This was after spending thousands going from doctor to doctor and chiropractor to chiropractor. Thank God I found this book. I would recommend this book to anyone suffering from sciatica or lower back distress.

The Sciatica Relief Handbook is one of the best back books on the market: it not only includes the usual survey of symptoms and how to treat them, but provides a host of facts on the latest alternative and medical treatments, which work and which don't, which symptoms to be especially concerned about, and more. Can traction help? What about physical therapy? What can be done at home? All these questions and more are covered using simple explanations.

This book is a pleasure to read--uses understandable terms--which makes it easy and even fun to read and gain useful facts. One of the above reviews is critical of the simple, easy-to-understand way the book communicates with the reader. Some authors try to impress you with their "extensive vocabulary" rather than really try to inform the reader. The book reveals the causes of sciatica, the various natural, alternative and medical remedies available--and how to avoid flare-ups. The book is well worth the money. I personally have found welcome relief from my sciatica pain following just one of the tips covered in this easy-to-read book.
