Product Description
Sciatica is a common problem that is often misunderstood.  Patients with lower, extremity symptoms are frequently seen by primary care physicians, physiatrists, general orthopedists, sports medicine physicians, and others.  Understanding when this is of lumbar etiology, how to differentiate this from other causes, and how to initiate appropriate conservative or surgical plans is important for many.  A definitive but practical book that clearly and easily addresses these issues regarding sciatica would be of use to all physicians seeing musculoskeletal conditions.  The proposed book would delve into the underlying anatomy, pathophysiology, presentation, and management of sciatica, which may be of a number of different etiologies.  The list of proposed chapter authors includes leading physicians in this area. ...

Useful complement to Dr. John E. Sarno's books
This book has been written by someone who felt it was necessary to provide more psychological tools to work on the Tension Myositis Syndrome as described by Dr. John E. Sarno (read his books first: Healing Back Pain & The Mindbody Prescription)

Monte Hueftle displays a lot of sincerity and enthusiasm in this self-published work. He obviously understands Dr. Sarno and has done a lot of personal soul-searching, possibly, I would guess,in psychotherapy.

This book provides information and ideas that are useful, considering that Dr. Sarno's books are heavy on convincing/explaining but a bit light on practical ways for one to "work on his brain"

On the downside, the author is not a professionnal writer and it shows. There are numerous typos and some strange sentences that require a re-read to understand what he is trying to say.

All in all, if you have read Dr. Sarno's books and are left with an appetite for more, you will probably benefit from reading this book. ... Read more
