A Consultation with the Back Doctor

Book Overview
The latest advice from the original bestselling Back Doctor Twenty-five years ago, Dr. Hamilton Hall wrote the book that changed the way back-pain sufferers deal with their affliction. In The Back Doctor, he advocated activity instead of bed rest. In place of braces and girdles, he suggested that patients follow a program of specific exercise. Most of all, he took the mystery out of back pain. Three out of four Canadian adults, and an increasing number of children, suffer some form of back discomfort. They make up a huge and lucrative market for unscrupulous practitioners. New treatments - new drugs, new devices, and supposedly new, high-tech therapies - are advertised daily. New controversies, such as a recent scare about chiropractic neck manipulation, find their way into newspaper headlines. A Consultation with the Back Doctor is Dr. Hall's response to these and other developments. This is a completely new book. It is written, like its predecessors, in an informal, easy-to-understand question-and-answer format. Readers will come away with a sound understanding of their condition and a practical course of action to make it better.

No, You're Not Crazy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
If you're like me you feel like you have to convince everyone that you are in pain. Finally an author that helps you understand the pain, it's cause and let's you know that you are not crazy. This is the most informative book I have ever read about my back pain. This book is written with respect for the reader and pain sufferer. I'm buying several copies for friends and family.

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I give this book 5 stars as its very comprehensive, yet it is very easy to read and understand. It is written in a question and answer format so the reader can pick and choose areas in the book that they want to read specifically. He goes into just about everything you'd want and need to know about every kind of back problem and solutions to problems from exercise to surgery, and the pros and cons. A must-have book for anyone who wants to get educated on their back or back problems.
