Synopsis

A surgeon’s protocol that challenges conventional orthopedic practices to help you heal pain naturally while avoiding surgery—or recover faster from a necessary procedure.

Far too many individuals have accepted a lower quality of life while contending with painful musculoskeletal conditions including arthritis, rheumatism, tendinitis, and autoimmune diseases. And traditional methods of treatment are often risky and costly with questionable success rates.

Bone on Bone is a total lifestyle guide for optimal health and pain-free living. Dr. Meredith Warner—an orthopedic surgeon who performed combat surgery in Iraq and Afghanistan, operates an orthopedic practice, and teaches surgical residents—shows how the same underlying principles that extend life, reduce heart disease, prevent diabetes, and decrease incidences of dementia should be applied to the overall care for orthopedic problems.

Bone on Bone will empower readers with the tools and knowledge to naturally treat pain whenever possible by:

Promoting natural healing with simple and strategic lifestyle modifications, including time-restricted eating, sleep schedule optimization, and simple exercises

Providing guidance on how to foster a strong mind–body connection to improve self-control and better manage pain

Explaining how targeted changes to your mindset, eating habits, exercise routine, nutrition, and sleep can relieve common orthopedic pain

Breaking down how to successfully navigate medical options—and understanding why some surgeries are unnecessary

Helping readers harness their own body’s power of self-repair

Offering a step-by-step protocol for improving overall wellness and extending health span

Taking steps to combat cognitive decline and boost mental health while also improving musculoskeletal health

Regardless of your age or if you have been told you’re “bone on bone,” painful orthopedic problems are not something you’re stuck with. You can activate your body’s natural ability to heal itself—taking control of your health to feel better than you have in years—without surgery.

This comprehensive book will help you thrive for years to come, by keeping the entire musculoskeletal system in great shape without breaking the bank.
