This approach to back pain has made a real difference for me
I've suffered from lower back pain from years and it seemed to be getting progressively worse, regardless of many visits to several chiropractors and physical therapists. Last year, I finally went to Dr. Harry Oxenhandler for help, and he has turned things around for me. This book encapsulates his approach to diagnosis and non-surgical treatment of a heretofore unappreciated but apparently very common back problem. If you've had little or no success with other approaches, this may be the one for you. If you're a physician frustrated by your limited ability to offer real relief to patients with lower back pain, this is the book for you. It emphasizes straightforward diagnostic techniques and self-therapy through stretching. It's all here.

"Lift" Yourself up with this Book
I highly recommend this book to anyone who suffers from chronic back pain - and I suspect that there are many of you out there. The book is clearly written and easy for a lay person to understand. The many photographs are especially helpful, plus the exercises for all levels of mobility. Dr. Oxenhandler's approach is simple and logical, but most importantly, it works. I know because I have tried it!
