by John E. Sarno         Also available in AUDIOTAPE

Approximately eighty percent of Americans have a history of back pain, and billions of dollars are spent annually to deal with this condition. Why, over the past thirty years, has the back become so incompetent? Why are so many people prone to back injury? And why has the medical profession proven so helpless in stemming this epidemic? Dr. John E. Sarno has the answer to these questions and many more. By thoroughly exploring the mind-body connection, Dr. Sarno explains how back pain can be stopped forever without drugs, without exercise, without surgery, and, most importantly, without spending thousands of dollars.

Backache : What Exercises Work
by Dava Sobel, Arthur C. Klein (Contributor), Lauren Jarrett (Illustrator)

I've tried them all. Every therapy you can think of. Was about to give up and submit to surgery. Got a book club catalog in the mail that included this book. Decided to try once more. One of he best decisions of my life. I could not do one situp or push at the time . . . without back pain. I do 75 pushs a day and hundreds of what the book recommends for abdominal work. Do yourself a favor and get this book. Follow the instructions explicitly.
Good luck.  kburke@wwwebventures.com  from Solana Beach, Ca October 27, 1998

Midwest Book Review
Written from a patient's perspective, Back Pain Relief is an holistic program addressing physical, mental, nutritional, emotional and psychological aspects of dealing with chronic pain. This easy-to-use guide is intended as a supplement to care from a doctor, not to replace such treatment. The focus is "self-help", in conjunction with medical advice otherwise employed. It is, therefore, a helpful tool, not only for the patient, but for health care professionals with its more than one hundred techniques of pain relief. The clear instructions in Back Pain Relief are further enhanced with numerous illustrations.
