Solid Advice, Easy-to-Read Format

This book is laying on the floor next to my bed. Why? I do the exercises every morning, and refer to the chapter to make sure I don't miss any. I do most of the exercises on the floor, so that's where the book lives. It is a part of my life now.I've suffered from low-grade back pain for years, and learned a lot from this book. I especially like the integrated mind-body approach, the solid, realistic information about the mechanics of the spine, and the practical advice for care and recovery.I've spoken with a chiropractor and an MD about my back problems, and the advice they gave me is identical to the advice in this book -- and the book was far less expensive.Unless you were injured, your back took years to get into its current condition, and it will take a while to improve. This book is a first-rate map of the road to recovery.

This book is the best defense against unneeded surgery.

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.

A comprehensive, highly informed, and practical approach!

Drs. Sinel and Deardorff have done it again! Back Pain Remedies for Dummies is at the top of my recommended readings list for patients with back pain problems. Educating pain sufferers about the causes, treatments, and self-help options, this book puts you in charge of pain reduction and prevention. Each chapter is filled with useful information presented in a clear and interesting manner covering everything you need to know about back pain and its treatment. A must read for anyone who has ever been troubled by back pain or who wants to prevent such problems.Louis F. Damis, Ph.D., ABPP; Fellow, American Academy of Clinical Health Psychology; Florida Hospital Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine

The most helpful book on back pain I've ever read.

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...)

Easy-to-use, practical, and concise guide on back pain.

When you or someone you love is suffering from back pain, you want to know you are making the best choices about treatment. With advances in modern medicine and alternative therapies, those choices are more plentiful than ever. Finally in a single source, this book offers clear, concise, and most importantly, accurate information that can be immediately put to use on managing back pain. Besides the usual explanations you would expect to find in a well done book on back pain, it also goes into such explanations as why some people with serious injuries experience little pain, while others with relatively minor injuries suffer far more. Other topics include up-to-date conservative non-invasive and invasive treatment, why exploratory surgery in NEVER appropriate, a suprisingly fair and well written chapter on chiropractic and back pain and an interesting chapter on how your thoughts and emotions effect your back pain. For the docs, if youv'e been looking for a better way to answer ALL, and I do mean ALL of those questions on sex and back pain, do what I did, just buy the book and make it available for your patient to read. I have over 1,000 health books in my library, but I must say after reading that chapter even I learned a few things or two. Overall I found it to be an invaluable guide for consumer and clinicians alike.
