This book changed me for the better, and I would highly recommend it!

'Solving Pain Without Pills' is written for those with chronic pain conditions, based on years of research and in-person sessions with the author, Dr. Evette Rose. The beginning of the book describes pain, and why things like inflammation happen within the body. It is more informative. The middle of the book contains case studies, based on real clients of Dr. Evette. The final part of the book has practical methods to apply to your life that can help you with managing/ eliminating your pain.

I came out of this book with a more positive outlook on my own pain condition. It also happens to be the first ever non-fiction that that I actually finished cover to cover. Thank you to Netgalley and the Publishers for providing me with a review copy!

This felt like a book of two halves. Whilst there is useful information in there it feels like that the first half suggests examining yourself and your thought processes for the root cause and the second half gives nutritional advice. I appreciate that pain is very complex. I think more advice in terms of reflective exercises or suggestions of therapeutic interventions that may help might have been useful. Deep seated traumas are not easy to shift. A good introductory book.

So I hurt my back when I fell out of bed. I was hoping this book would give me some pain management strategies. But what it is telling me is that the pain is because my mother was angry with me in 1963, or because I eat toast for breakfast, or some other emotional trauma. What a load of baloney. I fell out of bed and hurt my back. Cause and effect. I did not read much of this beyond the few bits relating to back pain, but I do not believe there is anything for me in this book.

Some very wise insights in this book. Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for giving me a copy
