Note from the authors of Relieving Pain Naturally
Here's a comment from the authors of Relieving Pain Naturally, Sylvia Goldfarb, PhD, and Roberta W. Waddell:
Relieving Pain Naturally by S. Goldberg & R. Waddell
I found this practical guidebook to pain relief a valuable resource. The organization of the book provides easy access for researching a variety of conditions which are the common culprits in causing pain which can be incapacitating in various degrees.The explanations of various treatments for these conditions are clear and well-written, and include sections on "how the treatment is used," cautions to be observed in selecting any particular treatment, and clinical studies done to measure effectiveness of each treatment.There are references to help the reader get additional information about specific or general conditions and treatments as well as listings of organizations and websites.The typeset was large enough to be seen without eye strain, and the print facilitated my ability to find the portions and chapters which were of interest.All in all, this book proved useful to me in the process of seeking relief from back pain, and I would highly recommend it to other readers. ...

A superb book for pain relief
This book is great in that it gives levels (1-4) for your pain.When I started using this book I was dabbling between 4 and 3 alot.4 is akin to a mouth of toothaches that are throbbing; 3 is a constant dull numbnessthat takes away concentration but allows menial labour and tasks to beperformed; 2 is spasmodic pain or pain with certain movements; 1 is knowit's there at all and doesn't bother me , hey I can function!It givespractical ideas and hints and help on what to do and makes you realize thatsometimes rest is just necessary. Between this and Dr Michael Murray'sArthritis book you'll be back on track before long.Please try this book,it is superb and truly worth your money and time.If you have arthritisand are really willing to work with it this book will get you there. (BTW Iam now mainly level 1!It's a great to be alive!) ... Read more

The best book I've yet to find on back pain
As a back pain sufferer and doctor this is as complete and valuable resourse as I've ever found. Highly recommended.

Great source of information and help
In "Back Pain Solutions" author Bruce Kodish presents easy to follow techniques for helping with back pain problems.After a brief introduction into Posture-Movement Therapy he provides a section on how your back works, the physiology of the spine, discs, joints, etc. and how this relates to your posture, movement and back problems.Bruce Kodish covers everything that you need to understand in order to safely use the techniques on yourself.Read more

This really works!
Over ten years ago, my former company hired Dr. Imrie to reduce the back injury incidents at their manufacuring plant.Having suffered thru the pain, legal problems, financial problems .... etc., I approached the invitation with skepticism.I followed this program with desperation as nothing else was working.It is not an instant fix, rather it is life commitment (kind of like brushing your teeth everyday). The book explains why your back is hurting, what can be done about it, what can't be done about it, and how to overcome the obstacle of debilitating pain and go on to lead a healthy active life.It takes time (8 min. a day) but it leads to an injury resistant back.Companies who are looking for looking for Occupational Injury prevention should take a second look at this program. I am noting for the record, although having met Dr. Imrie and particpated in his workshop, I am not affiliated or in anyway connected to or profiting from this book. On a personal note, I think it is really funny and quite sad to try to help someone mired in the cycle of pain and debilitation along with the accompanying "quick fixes", pain reliever addiction, alcoholism, self-pity and on and on..., to try to help them with the techniques this book offers and hear them say, "I can't do that!" The difference between this book and the other many books I purchased on back injuries is not the exercises, they are all very similar.Rather Dr. Imrie focuses on the HOW to do them. This one very simple technique makes all the difference between effectiveness and just doing exercises by rote with no results. ... Read more

Excellent book for first time injuries!!!
I checked out this book from the library, and after using it for several weeks, decided it would be cheaper to buy the book than pay the library fines. The book provides lots of very useful information on how to manage back pain. Using techniques in the book I was able to recover from a herniated disc much faster than my doctor expected. I gave it 4 of 5 stars only because I found the planning lists at the end of every chapter a bit of overkill. Having fewer lists would have gotten it 5 stars. ... Read more

MSM Pain Relief
This book can be read in one day.It has clear examples and the writer lets you know that MSM is still open for debate as a remedy for pain relief.If you are not ready to consume this mineral there are suggestions that the mineral can be used on the body via lotions and creams.The book cost six bucks the price of a latte.It was worth it considering that I did not know anything about it until I went to the spa and another person mentioned it to me.

Dr Ore knew about this MSM natural pain relief remedy - 1940
"Msm:Natural Pain Relief Remendy", by Mitchsell Mitchell, et al.I was unloading hay as a young boy in 1944, by a hayhook with rope and pulley moving the hay to the barn hayloft.While riding the hay bundle tothe hayloft my left hand got entangled in the big pulley, with rope burnson three fingers to the bones, after painful first aid and the doctor'scare, big yellow-sulfur-pills were given to me to take for four to fiveweeks.I am now 64 years old - having ask several times different doctorsand drugstores for yellow-sulfur-pills, always received a blank lookanswer, now this magical MSM has been reborn. Thanks.Dr. Ore gave me a good sulfur supply so I took them for everyting. I still have the scars onby fingers. Great book! ... Read more

Ok, but not as informative as I would have liked.
It has excellent diagrams and stuff, but it's way out-dated. This is a good book for people who don't know anything about knee injury yet. ... Read more

Good Book
I find the book interesting to read
Chronic Pain Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Prevention and Man
This book is an excellent resource for doctor's or patients with RSD.It is comprehensive and scientific.

Information for patient ,physican and staff
RSD patients hsitorically have had to to seek out information for themselves on the nightmare called RSD as information and treatment move slowly down the medical and insurance pipeline.Although most patients andtheir families will not be able to completly understand the more clinicalaspects of RSD discussed in this book, they can still glean basicinformation regarding currently available treatments and Dr. Hooshman givesspace to a recommended diet.RSD patients often are given only minimalinformation/instruction about their condition and although some of theclincial aspects of this book may be frightening, most RSD patientsdesperate for a return to health and pain free living will work their waythrough the portions of this book that are helpful to patient and laymanand avert their eyes from the portions that they are yet ready to learnabout.Three cheers to Dr. Hooshman for publishing this valuable volume. ...

Pain has a Positive Purpose
As a master certified life coach and bestselling author, I've been studying the purpose of pain for years and "The Gift of Pain" is a resource you'll be happy to have on hand for yourself or a friend.
MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
I believe we have all experienced pain in our lives.We may try to dodge it, ignore it, bury it, but alas it still seems to creep into our everyday existence.I have heard all the old additives that without pain we would not know we were hurt, of course I would rather just not know myself, but that is not the way of life. spiritual growth
This book is phenomenal! The author shows us how to heal the right way. Through out life we are tought to hide our pain. This book gives us the courage and tools to fix what hurts. Not only does it do that, it encourages spirituality and happiness. I recommend this book to all age groups. ... Read more
