Most books on backache emphasize medication or surgery as cures. This practical guide suggests a better approach for sufferers. Using self-healing techniques to relieve pain, distinguishing back trouble from other problems, and protecting a weak back during sex or pregnancy are just a few of the topics in this thorough handbook. Over 40 black-and-white illustrations are included.

5.0 out of 5 stars When in doubt, buy a new, firmer bed to relieve back pain
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2018
I got this book from the library. I read the other reviews and understand where the reviewers are coming from. despite the varying stars. If you are in significant back or joint pain and looking for a magical cure - I don't think such a book exists. The gem in this book for me is that a new, firmer bed can relieve most back pain. I had a 10 year old memory foam mattress, which seemed good. Got a new king size memory foam mattress for $230 on Amazon and it helped greatly. If your bed is soft or over 7 years old or soft, look a getting a new, firm bed.

The book is well thought out and researched to provide knowledgeable advice. The book includes advice ranging from nutrition (to prevent osteoporosis), several exercises and stretches to minimize or prevent pains. Some other useful information from the book, is about self healing over time - about 70% of all back injuries will resolve in 2 weeks without any form of treatment; about 90% will resolve in about 4 weeks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book.
Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2004
This is an excellent book to help you fix your back injury if you have been in an auto accident like me. Full of useful tips, and general good advice. It's one of these self-help books that will help you tremendously dealing with the pain and suffering experienced after a personal injury. I am fond of self-help books, self-help websites and other self-help resources too, and this book is on the top of my list (others like this website [...]) have helped me a lot on the legal side of my personal injury claim too. They even talked about chiropractic care as well as providing demand letters and other stuff useful if you have been in a car accident. This said, this is a book definitively recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Informative.
Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2003
I found this book very informative and have reccomended it to several others. When my herniated disk was causing lots of pain, I was desperate to get some relief. I just happened to find a reference to the author somewhere on the internet and even actually called him. He was very gracious to talk to me, shared some advice and kept me from making a very expensive decision concerning chiropractic care for my entire family. His book is straightforward and understandable. I thank him for the words of advice and his expertice, if your back is giving you trouble in any way, you'll find this book to be quite an interesting read. Thanks Mr. Homola!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sound advice, especially when you are hurting!
Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2003
Last year I had a back injury that left me immobile for two months. During that time I read four back books to "empower" me with knowledge and tips for recovery. Dr. Homola's book (now with post-it-notes stuck in numerous chapters) was the most helpful. From helping to determine causes of pain, to outlining simple excercises you can do without buying expensive equipment, this book was the only one I really needed to read. It's a book I'll keep on hand as a helpful resource for years to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Chiropractor's Complete Self-Help Back and Body Book:
Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2003
I found Dr. Homola's book to be very beneficial. His straight forward approach to problems and cures was refreshing. Having been in the care of many chiropractors over the years, its an eye opener to read some practical ways to lead one to better health. The only people that would have a harsh opinion about this book are those with an ulterior motive or who do not understand that a simple way of helping people to better health is the best way.

The book explains in a clear way all the situations you are when your back aches. It's useful for doing many things yourself, but it suggestes even when it's proper to see a doctor.
