This is the best chiropractic book I've ever encountered. This would be an essential resource for anyone considering going to a chiropractor or who has questions about what a chiropractor can do for them.

The language is very easy to understand and is well referenced with links to many other sources of information on-line about back care and chiropractic.

I gave my copy to a chiropractic cynic. He's got his first appointment next week.

Of the many things we seek in life, good health is probably at the top of most individual's lists. And when we seek health care guidance and advice, we want to be certain that that advise is from an expert source and someone we can count on for delivering sound recommendations.

Dr. Louis Sportelli has captured the essence of a leading non-invasive, non-drug health profession, reducing a complicated and oft misunderstood care paradigm to a simple to understand writing on the benefits of chiropractic care. As we explore new directions in health care, especially us baby-boomers, we are all looking for a solution to our aches and pains, effective diet, nutrition and excerise regimens and a true understanding of the reasons for our changing physiologic function. Reading Introduction to Chiropractic answers these and so many more questions about our bodies and outlines in simple to read text the functions that attribute to good health.

While we are told to rest, take aspirin or other drugs for many of the most incapacitating and debilitating problems associated with the back, neck and extremity pain, Introduction to Chiropractic takes the reader to a new dimension of understanding in explaining why natural health care optimizes the bodies own inner intelligence mechanisms. There's more practical and useful information in this book's 50 easy reading pages about common sense health care than I've read anywhere.

If you've read or heard contrary information about the benefits or usefulness of chiropractic care, this book should put any of those concerns to rest. Thank you, Dr. Sportelli, for taking the time to write this wonderful book explaining the many benefits of chiropractic, a safe, effective and necessary component to obtaining maximum good health!

This book is well written in easy-to-understand language. Not only does the book provide a clear explanation of chiropractic, it explains how the body functions and gives pointers on maintaining good health. I highly recommend it to anybody who wants to understand why their body might be complaining and want to help themselves gain good health and well being. I also recommend it to all health care providers. As one who suffers from osteoarthritis, I find the suggested exercises extremely helpful. I refer to it as "my handy little instruction book" and refer to it often. It would be an excellent gift for everybody you love.

I am a long-time chiropractic patient with chronic shoulder and mid-back problems. I read this book years ago in its original version, but had forgotten how good it was. The new edition is colorful, informative and explains how chiropractic works in a manner that is easy to understand. The exercise portion is very helpful for those of us who "forget" what we are suppose to do. I highly recommend this book...buy it, you won't be disappointed!

I have had trouble trying to understand why my back hurt and why other problems were related to this. After reading Introduction to Chiropractic I truly understand why my spine is so important and why chiropractic care can provide me with significant help for my condition. My doctors have tried to explain things to me but they are either too busy or too technical, this book is easy to read and very understandable. It has completely changed my view of how to approach my health. I now understand much better the reason why I may get sick and what to do. There are so many helpful hints in the book. I highly recommend it.

This book is informative and easy-to-understand. It is especially helpful for the first-time chiropractic patient. I have a much better understanding now of my examination, diagnosis and treatment plan. I only wish I had this information sooner. (I love the exercise section included.) If there are chiropractic patients who want a better understanding of their care, or if you are considering going to a chiropractor, purchase this book. You'll be glad you did!
