Rating:  - No more pain!
Nine months ago, I was diagnosed with a herniated disc. The orthopedist I was seeing told me I needed surgery. I had terrible back pain as well as sciatica and had a lot of trouble walking and standing -- being in the grocery line was torture! I tried chiropracty and accupuncture to avoid surgery but was on the point of giving up and calling the spine surgeon when my husband recommended I try this book. I followed Dr. Root's advice and gave my back a complete rest for 48 hours and then began ... Read More
Rating: - great re-do of original book
excellent advice from a renowned professional - followed the exercises for a healthy back and eliminated my back pain - would reccommend for those with annoying back pain - severe back pain requires directives from a personal doctor
Rating:  - Useless book that upsets back pain sufferers

The author talks about potential treatments including ... Read More

His ... Read More
Rating: - Finally did the trick
I had a bulging disk problem many years ago but had recovered. Recently I had my first serious flair up, and for two weeks none of my standard exercises worked.
I got Dr. Root's book, and his exercises immediately started helping. One particular cross-legged exercise helped realign my back so that the other exercises could be more productive.
Without this book, I would have had to go back to the doctor and get his help because I was getting desperate. Now I'm on my way to recovery, ... Read More
