Bye-Bye Back Pain: 9 Holistic Solutions for Relief from Sciatica, Lumbago, Slipped Disc, and Backache

This book made up of 9 holistic solutions for relief from sciatica, lumbago, slipped disc and backache has, literally, saved my days.Bye-Bye Back Pain by Gray is informative and loaded with information, methods, techniques, and healing practiced I have never seen or read about before. It is well-structured and detailed. The author used her own experience and that of her patients, what makes the book a truly reliable source for those of us who suffer from back pain, or for those who have recently had surgery.Another thing I would like to highlight about this book is that the author seems to put herself in the shoes of patients, and that of readers. So, every word here seems to have been directly told by her to us in person. Recommended!

Excellent book for those of us suffering from back pain, whether from injury, genetics, or degeneration from aging. The author has both a doctorate in physical therapy and also a doctorate in occupational therapy (the first person in the US to do so), and does a great job giving us the reader information that we can use to empower ourselves when it comes to back health. There are tips on what to look for (and when to run) in doctors and physical therapists and chiropractors, exercises and self-treatments, how to safely perform everyday tasks, diet v. medication or other treatments, and an easy-to-understand breakdown of the structure of the spine and where your pain may be coming from. There's even a section on CBD and one on mindfulness/meditation. I love it. This book is a great overview of the issue, especially for someone who has recently begun to experience back pain and doesn't know where to start.

As a person with ongoing back issues this book was informative and held my attention. The author Dr. Grace Walker Gray, a Dr. of Physical and Occupational therapy shares her story of health to one day becoming a patient needing healing from back pain. The first part of the book tells of her journey, methods and discovery of technologies used in her healing and those of her patients.I really wish I would have had this book during the early days of my accident recovery as the section on doctor selection would have been beneficial and saved time and effort in coordinating with my own doctors.The author's training and education in a number of disciplines offer a balanced approach to healing. Book chapters on exercise, nutrition, and holistic healing methods that aid the body’s own natural healing as a segue from prolonged prescription drugs were new to me. A desirable approach, I was impressed and took notes.I think this book is a must-read for those who have, are currently experiencing, or know of anyone experiencing back pain and are looking for a fresh approach to healing from back pain.G.S.

I’ve found physical therapists have solved more of my muscle, ligament and back issues than most doctors and orthopedists. They’re practical and straight forward and more comfortable with people. Dr. Walker Gray, a specialist in both physical and occupational therapy reminds me of my old family doctor, providing frank and practical suggestions in dealing with and healing back pain ranging from walking the dog to having sex. Unlike other book writers on the subject, she’s been dealing hands-on with back pain for many years. She explains the physiology, the back pain, and how and why it happens. I feel I now can ask better, more informed questions of the orthopedists when I have to see them. She also provides guidelines in choosing a good health care provider. She offers ways to alleviate the pain and promote healing and I liked the diagrams. They were clear and easy to follow. I finally really understand the difference between hot and cold applications (and who knew popcorn makes a great cold pack?). She also offers tools and products that have been helpful to her as a PT practitioner. I have more of an arsenal in dealing with the sciatica I am often bothered with. I am delighted to have found this book. It addresses a problem that is a real scourge in living an active fulfilled life.
