Book Review: The Truth About Back Pain: A Revolutionary, Individualized Approach to Diagnosing and Healing Back
This book is an interesting read for anyone who suffers from back pain. It is written by two successful chiropractors. I would say that if you do not believe in the benefits of chiropractic medicine, this book may not be for you. I felt the authors wrote this book with a “voice” that seemed truly honest, and friendly. It seemed to me they really wanted to help people feel better. I never got the impression that they were “selling” their ideas or products, which unfortunately happens some times in health books. The book is written from the belief that back pain comes from three distinct causes: structural physical damage; nutritional/diet; and emotional-stress and personal issues that may affect health. I agree with this philosophy as I have seen in my own life how everything, including exercise, stress and work, effect how I feel.
This book offers meal plans, and specific exercises that can help combat back pain. Many of these tools are very easy to start in your life right away. Some of the more advanced exercises may be difficult for those living
with limiting disabilities. The stress relieving techniques are simple and easy to understand.
Of course you should speak to your doctor before starting any new exercise regime or any radical changes to your diet.
