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.

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.

I bought this book about the same time as the book The Sciatica Relief Handbook. Pretty similar with basic discussions of the ailment along with exercises. A good read ,but not much new here. It was worth buying.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Excellent, informative book. The authors explain many different causes of sciatica and is easy to understand. They also explain many treatment options. The author seems very knowledgable on the subject. The book was definitely worth the money.
