Sound advice, especially when you are hurting!
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.

Very Informative.
I found this book very informative and have reccomended it to several others. When my herniated disk was causing lots of pain, I was desperate to get some relief. I just happened to find a reference to the author somewhere on the internet and even actually called him. He was very gracious to talk to me, shared some advice and kept me from making a very expensive decision concerning chiropractic care for my entire family. His book is straightforward and understandable. I thank him for the words of advice and his expertice, if your back is giving you trouble in any way, you'll find this book to be quite an interesting read. Thanks Mr. Homola!

A Wonderful Self-Help Book!
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.
