"When 6 months have elapsed with no improvement, patients may
start being treated differently by their practitioners. The sympathetic, caring
attitude of friends and family can also gradually dissolve over time; others may
come to doubt the pain is real."
"A positive attitude has an important role in health and recovery,
but no one should be held responsible for continuing to have symptoms."
ENDORSEMENTS
"Each book retails for $9.95 and offers a nonfancy round-up of
current thinking on back pain. Zimmerman also illustrates how
that thinking has changed."
The Back Letter
"All three books are easy to understand and well written, and they
all feature an appendix of references, a glossary of terms used
and an index. Back pain sufferers will probably find the volume
on living with back pain the most useful, as it presents
lifestyle adjustments that may be needed, whether they be physical,
emotional or a combination. Recommended for their low-key coverage
of a difficult and controversial subject for all public and
health sciences libraries."
Library Journal
"Physical therapist Julie Zimmerman has tackled back pain in a
series of books that combine practical information for the
layperson and useful material for the professional. I was surprised
at how much she was able to pack into three small paperbacks for
the reasonable price of $9.95"
