[Jennifer Kelly · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very thorough proactive book on understanding the schematics of herniated discs.

I gave a five star rating because the author gives an easy to read understanding of the how's and why's of herniated disc injury occurrence, a nutritional supplement, how inflammation works, and is an excellent book to bring along to the chiropractor throughout treatment. I myself suffer from herniated discs but was able to get the discs to reabsorp, using physical therapy, proper nutrition against inflammation, and cardio/resistance training over a 4-5 year period. Very good book!
