""Finally-a guide that respects the complexity of pain while remaining practical and accessible. Fix the Fire Damage equips patients with actionable strategies grounded in a three-pronged, biopsychosocial model. For providers, this book fills the gap between acute episodes and formal care, offering relief and reassurance when patients need it most."" -David Hanscom, MD, Orthopedic Spine Surgeon & Founder, Vertus, Inc. ""Libraries seeking a book that is weighty and comprehensive in appearance and approach, but surprisingly accessible and clear in its step-by-step guide to managing pain of all kinds, should consider the higher price tag of Fix the Fire Damage an indicator of its importance. Filled with well-researched, specific routines for reducing pain and better understanding its origins and impact, Fix the Fire Damage is an assessment and action plan for pain management that comes from an evidence-based chiropractic physician's eye for reducing and eliminating suffering. It belongs on the shelves of home health libraries and general-interest library collections alike."" -- Midwest Book Review ""Fix the Fire Damage offers something rare: clear, grounded guidance for moments when pain feels chaotic and overwhelming. It doesn't rush to fix or bypass the experience. Instead, it meets people right in the thick of it, offering tools that help the brain and body settle. This approach makes space for nervous system shifts that are often missed in traditional care. It's thoughtful, compassionate work that reflects a deep understanding of what it's like to feel unsafe in your own body and how to begin feeling safe again."" -- Vanessa Blackstone, MSW, Executive Director at the Pain Psychology Center, co-author of The Pain Reprocessing Therapy Workbook ""This book offers some useful resources for people wanting self help tips for musculoskeletal pain. Used alongside professional clinical care it gives practical ideas for supporting recovery."" -- Dr Bronwyn Lennox Thompson, PhD Academic lead, Postgraduate programmes in pain, University of Otago, NZ
