Using self-healing techniques to relieve pain, distinguishing back trouble from other problems, and protecting a weak back during sex or pregnancy are just a few of the topics in this thorough handbook.

A Wonderful Self-Help Book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Chiropractor's Self-Help Back and Body Book: Your Complete Guide to Relieving Aches and Pains at Home and on the Job (Paperback)
Dr. Homola's latest book is expertly written, clear and concise, and is a wonderful reference self-help book for people like me. The more of the book I read, the more I say to myself that the author is talking to me, about me. I will seek out the self-help remedies described in this book when I have aches and pains. I started out reading at whim and then realized that I should read in chapter order, as I did in school. As a result, the book is all highlighted in yellow and underlined in blue ink for quick reference. I especially liked Chapters 13 and 14. Dr. Homola was such a support and a great help to my daughter when she was suffering with a herniated disc and sought his opinion and advice. It has now been a year since her disc herniation, and she is doing fine. I got worried for a minute when Dr. Homola described in great detail how to make an ice pack. I was going to ask about frozen peas -and then they appeared! I've used them often and successfully. His book leaves nothing out and is complete in every detail. The Glossary is very useful. I was glad to see proper definitions for all the M.D. specialties as well as definitions of straight and mixed chiropractic along with descriptions of what is good and what is bad in chiropractic -which I never knew. I will certainly recommend this book to my friends. Dr. Homola has written some mighty fine books -and now this one, which is one of the most useful I have read.

Friendly and easy to understand,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Chiropractor's Self-Help Back and Body Book: Your Complete Guide to Relieving Aches and Pains at Home and on the Job (Paperback)
I found Dr. Homola's book reader friendly and easy to understand. His book really helped me understand what is causing my back pain and what to do about it. There is a wealth of information on how to recognize and treat all kinds of aches and pains. He tells you how to help yourself and when you should see a doctor. I'd recommend this book for anyone who wants a real self-help guide that explains the problem and then offers good advice or an effective remedy. I keep this book handy for quick reference when any member of my family has a back or body problem. I wouldn't be without it.

Sound advice, especially when you are hurting!,
By Adrienne H. Kelly (Aliso Viejo, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Chiropractor's Self-Help Back and Body Book: Your Complete Guide to Relieving Aches and Pains at Home and on the Job (Paperback)
Last year I had a back injury that left me immobile for two months. During that time I read four back books to "empower" me with knowledge and tips for recovery. Dr. Homola's book (now with post-it-notes stuck in numerous chapters) was the most helpful. From helping to determine causes of pain, to outlining simple excercises you can do without buying expensive equipment, this book was the only one I really needed to read. It's a book I'll keep on hand as a helpful resource for years to come.
