 Decent book for beginners. March 2, 2008
Pio444 (Chicago, IL)
I bought this book to try to relieve some sciatica stress that I am having. It is decent for the beginner by giving an overview of what sciatica is, what causes it, etc. It explains some treatment options such as; surgery, homepathic remedies, excercises, massage, acupuncture, etc. However, the treatment options have very small overviews of what they are and what they could do. I would have rated it a little higher if it gave me a little more detail. Also, as another reviewer stated is that you can find most of what is in here on the internet. You could probably get it cheap, I got it for $4 with shipping. If you could get it for around that, why not? Anything that helps with sciatica is better than nothing!

Sometimes the illustrations in this book are a little silly, but it presents information in a way that is easy for everyone to understand. It gives a good overview of many different kinds of treatment and how they can help the different causes of sciatica. The exercises depicted in the book and excellent.

Book is simplied with everyday language to help us understand what to do if and when our back or hurting or with pain we are not used to having...
There are an abundance of simple illustrations which make the book easy for us (NON-Doctors) to understand...

This book is a total waste of time and money. I am glad I bought a used paperback and am only out $5.00!

Let me start off by saying thanks to DLEAKELLER who wrote the review that says - try Dr. Sarno's book on healing back pain. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! If it wasn't for your review I would never have looked at the book seriously.
I had sciatica pretty bad for 1 and 1/2 years. I found some relief from taking 4 ibuprofens once or twice a day (for months), but didn't want to live that way. My local MD quickly diagnosed sciatica with the straight leg lift test - steroids and PT didn't help. The chiropractor managed to move the pain after my first visit (Sarno's book talks about this) - it turned into what felt like electric shocks running down my leg while laying on a bench for some weight lifting and I thought that was a big improvement! He disagreed. Finally I got so desperate I did some online research and ended up here in Amazon. Searched for sciatica, and bought 3 books. Fishman's book and Cunningham's book were pretty standard fare. You know, strengthen your back, do these exercises, don't bend your back while lifting, blah, blah, blah.
Luckily for me, someone else was kind enough to share their knowledge by mentioning Sarno's book in their review of the Cunningham book. I had noticed Sarno's book in the ads off to the side and immediately ignored it. Come on, how can your mind heal your back! Despite the hokey, holistic sounding description, this BOOK CURED ME!! I know, it sounds crazy. Read some of the 213 REVIEWS on the book. I'll just be repeating what most of them have to say. I read the book and I was a classic example (as are probably the vast majority of middle aged, pretty normal/responsible folks with kids, jobs, etc who also have a bit too much emotional stress which can manifest itself as sciatica).
My improvements were dramatic and fast! Within a few days my pain was greatly diminished. Within 4-6 weeks it was 100% gone and I am back doing the rigorous sports I love - weightlifting, handball, tennis, raquetball, snowboarding, windsurfing, skimboarding, catamaran sailing, etc. Hey, I'm not 20 years old either - 50 is pretty close now.
If you have sciatica you owe yourself the risk of spending a few bucks on Sarno's book on healing back pain. Unfortunately, you won't find the technique in this book.
You won't be disappointed.
