I am a 55 year old computer programmer diagnosed for the past 10 years with cervical spondylosis, which produces frequent and prolonged headaches. In my case, the medical community has been focused only on diagnosis (MRIs) and treatment (NSAIDs and muscle relaxants), not prevention. Over the years I have checked medical web sites for information, but just recently stumbled upon this book at Amazon. By following the common sense advice and exercises described by Dr. McKenzie, I am now headache and medication free. (My only advice is to go easy on the exercises when starting.) This tiny book is a miracle of Biblical proportions.

This works if....you do your homework. You may not be painfree but there will be a great improvement.

I have a reverse curve in my neck and have suffered migraine headaches for 25 years. I have gone to a chiropractor on and off throughout the years which has always helped in the past. This past year I have experienced a significant increase in the number of migraines I suffer each month and therefore have looked for additional therapies (anything but drugs which have been suggested many times by my pcp). I stumbled across this book and spoke to my Physical Therapist and Chiropractor about it and they both thought that the postures you take during the exercises are radical but if done properly and slowly they can help. I believe that the exercises in this book have help with the alignment of my cervical spine. I have also purchased (on line) a cervical pillow with traction. I believe that between the exercises, the education regarding posture and the cervical pillow I am on the road to recovery (1 month migraine free). Hope this helps.

I had neck pain along with tingling radiating down my arm to my index finger. Having had extensive experience with clients who needed physical therapy, I was fairly certain I had a cervical disk bulge/pinched nerve. I knew the routine with orthos and physical therapists and wanted to avoid spending both the time on office visits and the money, if at all possible. I stopped my usual exercise routines to give myself time to heal, took anti-inflammatories for a couple of weeks, bought this book and followed it religiously, and purchased an arc4life cervical traction pillow. In a matter of a few weeks, the problem was completely resolved and has not returned several months later. I have absolutely no pain and no restriction of movement. It is vital that you not do more harm than good by overdoing and/or improperly doing the exercises. Of course, if I hadn't seen improvement, I would have consulted a doctor. (BTW, I still sleep on the pillow and highly recommend it. It gets you past that unhappy routine of backsliding in the healing process due to sleeping wrong on the injury. It can be uncomfortable at first, so ease into using it as recommended. It literally provides light traction to the cervical spine when lying on your back and, if you move to the proper location on the pillow, provides excellent support while sleeping on either side.)
