Description
Living up to its subtitle—Your go-to guide when pain first strikes—the tools in this book will show you what to do right away for relief when you feel immobilized and afraid to move. Volume 2 of The Everyday Pain Guide is for those moments in the middle of the night, on weekends or holidays, or any time when you can’t get in to see your providers. Perhaps you wake with a stiff neck, throw your back out after a long flight, or maybe freeze up completely after simply reaching for something. When pain makes it seem impossible to do anything at all, Fix the Fire Damage is the guide that lays out pivotal, gentle, and easy-to-follow Action Plans while walking you through the different stages of healing, starting with the very earliest. That first sign of pain is your best opportunity to swiftly transform the trajectory of each episode and decrease your suffering. With over 100 photos, illustrations, and diagrams in an easily searchable format, the reader is guided through smart ways to address the three different types of pain triggers: body mechanics, body chemistry, and stress biology.

🔥 Fix the Fire Damage: The Everyday Pain Guide (Vol. 2) by Ya-Ling J. Liou
A tactical first-aid manual for your nervous system—dousing the flames of pain before they spread.
✨ Review
🚨 ER for Early Pain: Targets new pain with the urgency of putting out a small fire—prevents acute issues from becoming chronic infernos.
🧠 Nervous System 101: Explains pain science like a detective story (spoiler: your brain’s the arsonist and firefighter).
🛠️ DIY Damage Control: Offers immediate, evidence-based moves (posture tweaks, breathwork) to “cool” inflammation—no medical degree required.
🚫 Myth-Busting Flames: Torches misconceptions (“Just push through it!”) with relatable analogies and chiropractor-approved truths.
📈 Proactive Playbook: Teaches prevention habits (ergonomic hacks, stress resets) so you’re not just healing—you’re fireproofing.
⭐ Star Breakdown (0–5)
Practicality: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) (Actionable from page one!)
Science Clarity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.8/5) (No jargon wildfires here.)
Empathy: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.5/5) (Warmth amid the heat.)
Design/Readability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5) (Charts = lifelines.)
Long-Term Value: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.3/5) (A keeper for future flare-ups.)
Overall: 4.5/5 - The fire extinguisher your body’s been screaming for—packed with tools, not just sympathy.
🙏 Thank you to NetGalley and Dr. Ya-Ling J. Liou for the advance review copy. This isn’t just a guide—it’s a rebellion against the “wait-and-see” approach to pain. Keep it on your nightstand, gym bag, and work desk.
(Note: Best for pain newbies or prevention seekers. Pair with Vol. 1 for full context!)
