Self Adjusting Technique: How to Gently Adjust Your Neck, Back, Hips and Ribs

Any chiropractor out there will tell you that this book is pure nonsense and that it's impossible to self-adjust. They'll tell you that you'll only do harm if you try. Now let me tell you my own personal experience.Due to a car accident, I began to see a chiropractor. At first my back did loosen up but then it became so much worse. I switched to a different doctor and began to get relief but none of the treatments would last. I had to go back every two weeks because the pain was so intense. After a year of treatments, the doctor admitted that he didn't know why the treatments would not last. By this time, I should be coming in every three months just to stablize and here I was, still in extreme pain. He advised me to look into other things that might help. I did Earthing...didn't help. I did magnets...now, those did help but I wanted more. I did accupressure...helped some. I even became a Reiki Master...helped some. Then I found this book.This book is awesome!! As I read about the neck, I did as he said and got instant relief. When I read about how too much caffeine and too many complex carbs effect your spine, I knew that I had the reason why my chiropractic treatments wouldn't "stick". I gave up caffeine, cut back the complex carbs, took the B vitamins that he recommended and magic happened!!!I self adjusted, by the book, and got back inline and out of pain. I followed his other advice and now I STAY in alignment and my hips stopped hurting and grinding. I no longer wake up in pain. I no longer limp from pain after sitting for a while. And as soon as I feel that something has gone astray, I gently put it back.I want to thank my chropractor for admitting that he was clueless and recommending that I search for answers. I want to thank the author of this book for providing those answers. This book is awesome!P.S. If you've ever had a chiropractor adjust your neck, then you've felt that horrible pain the instant he jerks it. It's intense, to say the least. The pain residue hangs with you a bit as your body gets used to the alignment. Sometimes you develop a sore throat within a few hours and get a cold. Want to avoid all that? Then use the very, very gentle, pain free movements in this book. My neck pain was corrected within a few minutes and actually felt good as the vertebra were gently put back into place.I'm not saying that everyone will stop going to their chiropractor forever and ever. I am saying that you may be able to stop and at the very least, cut way, way back on the number of visits.

This is a great book! I've only barely started reading it and the parts that I have read have been so helpful. I've had neck pain for 6 years and after one adjustment in this book, my neck pain is gone. I hurt every day from my neck, all the way down my shoulder blade. I've done every stretching exercise i could find. This is amazing. Thank to the author for writing this book. I find myself moving my head where I would usually find pain and feeling so happy that it's gone. If this was the only thing in this book it would have been worth hundreds of dollars in chiropractor visits, which I can't afford right now. It told me where to put pressure and turn my head and no more neck pain. I thought my neck pain was caused from knots on my muscle but I was wrong. Where has this book been for the last 6 years? I would give this book 10 stars if I could

i have taken several falls over the past 12 yrs, i suffer from back pain daily.i have had chiro. adjustments and massage ; the treatments relieved pain forabout 3 days. my health insurance will no longer pay for my chiro adjustments, i knew somehow i would have to manage my back pain myself. The price of this book is equal to 1 chiro adjustment. I am learning how to adjust my back myself and get pain relief and will save a great deal of money . I have had slews of test, x-rays and mri of my back; 2 drs. diagnosed High blood pressure caused by back pain, i have to take pain and blood pressure meds, before my last back injury 2011, i took NO medication.As soon as i got my "self adjusting technique "book I started very slowly doing the procedures.....I felt relief of my pain quickly....i will read and study this book, and carefully do procedures.I FEEL RELIEF FROM PAIN, it gives me hope and the power to control how much paini have to endure...A very good book for anyone suffering from back pain.IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL IF Kalidasa MADE A VIDEO OF SELF ADJUSTING TECHNIQUES.

This book works. I had a kink sleeping wrong and for the life of me can't get rid of an irritating pain. It's worth the price if it can help your body. A chiropractor adjustment will cost more than this book. I only did the neck and first rib adjustment with help of another technique from another book. It tells you the principles and you can apply it to most area. It's always best to rely on yourself if you can do it yourself. You don't have to go through the 2 times a week weekly plan that majority chiropractors try to get you to do. And it's tough to find a chiropractor that don't do that. Too much adjustment isn't good anyways. Best to stretch and exercise if your aware of which body part need the work. Otherwise you'll be dependent on others. Self care is always best and this book try to teach you that.

If you suffer from back pain and you don't know why it always hurts in just that one spot... this book provides techniques that could help you. I have rib subluxation which is when your rib goes in and out of joint (whack) and causes pain that seems like a tight muscle but never goes away. A few years agao I was working in an emergency drill as a medical team volunteer. We carried a body on a back board, very far, with too few people and I pulled ribs out of joint. I found out this is much more common than people realize by my own research and the help of multiple massage therapist. My primary MD poked around, gave me an x-ray to test for cancer (or give me cancer Ha!) and then sent me on my way.Anyway, this book provided me with PAIN free ways to re-align myself and now I can relax even knowing it will happen again.As to another review - if the book is expensive but it helped your pain, then you have gained back more than dollars.

This book has down to earth, sensible, and most importantly, techniques that work. Well Done!

Great book and good advice
