Must read for folks with any back pain

Reviewed in Canada on December 14, 2015

Verified Purchase

This book was recommended to me by my doctor; I have to admit I was sceptical of a books ability to help me with what was at the time, some really challenging chronic back pain with some lovely features of stabbing pain and debilitating spasms. Dr. Hamilton 's assertions that I could control and improve some of this pain had my interest at a time when I felt frustratingly out of control. The exercises do work as directed and the chapter on the mental traps of chronic back pain were helpful as well. It has taken six months but I am extremely pleased with my progress and the resulting quality of life I have regained. I would recommend this book to anyone with any level or type of back pain.
I ordered this book used and was pleased with the good condition it came in as advertised.

Urgent read before having back surgery

Reviewed in Canada on April 11, 2013

Verified Purchase

I was referred to this product by my wife who suffers from back problems and read a copy of it lent to her by a friend. I read that same copy and found it very useful and wanted a copy of our own that we could lend out to others with back problems. I found it straight forward and its advice cut through the crap given out by so many other Physicians that prescribe surgery not in hopes it will help you but too line their own pockets. It is to bad that bit is out of print, but the used copy I received was in excellent condition. I would recommend this book to any one who is thinking about back surgery. My wife and I have seen personally the devastating results of back surgery on friends and how it has made their condition worse not better.

My doctor suggested I read this book after I was diagnosed with a Lower Lumbar disc protrusion. Helped me through the initial stages and I refer to it from time to time for pain relief exercises.

I bought this book years ago when I hurt my back, lent it to a friend who never returned it, and then I was so happy to see it on Amazon that I bought another copy! It is the bible to those that have back pain! It explains the reasons and solutions for back problems. I love this book!

I didn't expect the pages to be yellowed/brown. The description of the book's quality didn't mention that.

V good response rate from Amazon arriving in New Zealand within the week from memory. Still working my way through book. Excellent handle on bad backs & I'm a 45yr veteran of a crook back ! Should be read by anyone with back problems before they venture off to any Health Professional, Friend or Quack. This is a definitive & realistic piece of writing by a v experienced "Back Man".
