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.

Here's a comment from the authors of Relieving Pain Naturally, Sylvia Goldfarb, PhD, and Roberta W. Waddell:

"Although we strongly believe in the efficacy of alternative therapies, we consistently urge caution with selected alternative remedies, and we do not believe that all alternative remedies are automatically good, while all conventional treatments are automatically dangerous, as the Publisher's Weekly review implies."
