Book Reviews of Out Of Print - Treat Your Own Neck 4th Ed
Book Review: physician gives 'thumbs up' for treatment of neck and back pain book
Summary: 5 Stars
It works!!!
I'm a physician and have no conflicts of interest financially or otherwise. My back/neck problems began while moving boxes and furniture in the transition to medical school. It eventually healed, but this started a series of injuries from any significant use of my back. Each episode took longer to heal, and the pain became more severe. An MRI showed bulging discs. Several rounds of conservative treatment and education on exercises by my pcp didn't help. Several rounds of physical therapy (PT) were unsuccessful. Next was referral to the surgeon. The neurosurgeon felt surgery wasn't called for and wanted me to try physical therapy. So I was unhappy about this and told the surgeon how I felt and that PT had already failed. He encouraged me to continue, and he would have me see his PT who specialized in backs.
This new PT had copies of McKenzie's books in the treatment room. The book was used during our exercises. She asked me to get the book and practice at home. Using the book while in the office, MADE IT SO EASY. I never had to return for another session. The pictures made everything so simple to follow. Many of them can be done without any changes to your schedule. I didn't need to go to the gym. The exercises can be done while in the shower, while in the office at a desk, or while watching tv at home relaxing. Many are lifestyle changes like bending at the knees to pick up something on the floor or correct seating/sleeping postures. AND THEY WORK!
I treat many people with chronic pain and ask these patients to get the book. Very few patients will buy a book and follow the instructions when a physician tells them to. People want quick fixes. But there are none. Eventually a few will get the book and half-heartily try it. And when the do, IT WORKS!
These are great resources for any type of clinician/medical provider to educate their patients. Education on proper techniques of posture, sleeping, and any type of movement is the key to preventing problems. Acute problems may need specific exercises based upon the location and type of injury. These books have all that. It's easy to read, not a lot of technical jargon. The pictures make the instructions impossible to make mistakes.
ANYONE WITH NECK & BACK PROBLEMS, PLEASE TRY THIS. ANY MEDICAL PROVIDER THAT HAVE CLIENTS WITH NECK & BACK PAIN, PLEASE TRY THIS. I can't keep a copy for myself. I wind up giving mine away each time I get a new one. That's why I'm writing this. I needed a new copy for the psychiatry office.
