Sciatica Solutions: Diagnosis, Treatment, and Cure of Spinal and Piriformis Problems Illustrated Edition

Dr. Loren Fishman has been practicing medicine for years and conducting clinical studies for what works to strength bone density and relieve pain. His books provide a lot of information on diagnosis, pharmaceutical and other treatment options and the science/data behind the pros and cons of each approach, laying out complex issues in layman’s terms so this is easy to read and full of helpful information.

I've had an episode of sciatica and it was a very bad experience. I would do anything not to have it again. This book explains how sciatica originates, in depth; Dr. Fishman is an expert. Even more important, there are stretches (yoga poses) one can do to adjust the critical bits of anatomy. I have not had a recurrence to date and I attribute it in part to this book.

Thbis book was printed for me because it deals with the painfull malady that I experience on a daily basis. It provides the stretching routines, exercizes, that I need to do in order to be relatively painfree. It also is a recent written book on the subject with the authors being specialists in that part of the body.

Good information--thoughtful explanations of symptoms, cause, and remedy for sciatica--I just happen to be a photo/diagram nut and I would have liked to see lot more good photos or illustrations of specific exercises that can help. Well written and to the point.

Hubby suffers from sciatica pain; but physical therapy and "his" book makes life bearable! I must have borrowed this book for the NY Public Library for 3 months until I decided to order a copy. Had doubts about a "used" copy but the condition was great and Hubby is always referring to the book for guidance and direction.

When I reviewed the book options on Siatica, this was the only one that mentioned Siatica goes away sometimes. That led me to hope and indeed, it is going away, albeit slowly. There was also a test one can do alone to determine if there is disc damage. Very helpful.

Too technical. Would be great for someone who wanted to know the mechanics of all forms of back pain. All I wanted were some excercises that could aid in relieving the pain. Not there!

If you're thinking about back surgery, Dr. Fishman is a must read. His authoritative experience - especially in a daily yoga practice - has helped many patients get well without undergoing unnecessary surgery.
