 Very informative book December 16, 2008
Lindsey Craig (Houston, Tx)
Excellent, informative book. The authors explain many different causes of sciatica and is easy to understand. They also explain many treatment options. The author seems very knowledgable on the subject. The book was definitely worth the money.

A top pick for libraries seeking a comprehensive yet easy reference. December 11, 2006
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
7 out of 10 found this review helpful
Sciatica Solutions: Diagnosis, Treatment and Cure of Spinal and Piriformis Problems may sound technical but it's medical knowledge is most accessible to lay readers, making it a top pick for public libraries because of its ease of reference and because back problems are one of the most common medical conditions affecting the general population. Chapters cover symptoms, the neurology involved in the range of complaints sciatica shows, and identify seven primary causes, differentiating it from its related piriformis problems and surveying the treatment for both. Dr. Fishman holds some thirty years of clinical experience including alternative medicine, so his SCIATICA SOLUTIONS embraces the best of both worlds, making it a top pick for libraries seeking a comprehensive yet easy reference.
