Book Description
Back pain, neck pain and headaches are three of the most incapacitating conditions suffered by the majority of people. They are usually not life threatening, but they are devastating to the "quality of life" for those afflicted. Chiropractic has played an important role in the treatment and management of these conditions. Many people are confused about what chiropractic is, what doctors of chiropractic do, and how chiropractic care can help their condition.
Introduction to Chiropractic™, 10th edition, is an easy to read, yet very comprehensive booklet which explains in everyday terms what you should know about chiropractic. This 52 page booklet explains, in very easy to understand terms, why the chiropractic approach to your health problem may be the right choice. Special exercises are included which have been proven effective in the management and ongoing care of most back and neck problems. Information on weight, diet, nutrition, lifestyle, and posture are also included in this new publication.

If you have a condition which may be helped by chiropractic and you are uncertain about whether or not you should become a chiropractic patient, this booklet will provide very specific information upon which to make your decision.

The publication was written by a nationally known doctor of chiropractic who has been in practice for 40 years. His advice and guidance in this book will clearly answer questions about chiropractic in a way which will inform you and empower you to make the right decision about your health care.

Reviewer: Helen Ferguson from Atlanta, GA USA
This book is well written in easy-to-understand language. Not only does the book provide a clear explanation of chiropractic, it explains how the body functions and gives pointers on maintaining good health. I highly recommend it to anybody who wants to understand why their body might be complaining and want to help themselves gain good health and well being. I also recommend it to all health care providers. As one who suffers from osteoarthritis, I find the suggested exercises extremely helpful. I refer to it as "my handy little instruction book" and refer to it often. It would be an excellent gift for everybody you love.

I am a long-time chiropractic patient with chronic shoulder and mid-back problems. I read this book years ago in its original version, but had forgotten how good it was. The new edition is
colorful, informative and explains how chiropractic works in a manner that is easy to understand. The exercise portion is very helpful for those of us who "forget" what we are suppose to
do. I highly recommend this book...buy it, you won't be disappointed!

I have had trouble trying to understand why my back hurt and why other problems were related to this. After reading Introduction to Chiropractic I truly understand why my spine is so important and why chiropractic care can provide me with significant help for my condition. My doctors have tried to explain things to me but they are either too busy or too technical, this book is easy to read and very understandable. It has completely changed my view of how to approach my health. I now understand much better the reason why I may get sick and what to do. There are so many helpful hints in the book. I highly recommend it.

Best Chiropractic Book I've ever read., October 1, 2000
Reviewer: Mrs. John Quinn from New Brunswick, NJ 08901
This book is informative and easy-to-understand. It is especially helpful for the first-time chiropractic patient. I have a much better understanding now of my examination, diagnosis and treatment plan. I only wish I had this information sooner. (I love the exercise section included.) If there are chiropractic patients who want a better understanding of their care, or if you are considering going to a chiropractor, purchase this book. You'll be glad you did!
