Bone on Bone: An Orthopedic Surgeon's Guide to Avoiding Surgery and Healing Pain Naturally

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.

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

Bone on Bone is a total lifestyle guide to better health and pain-free living. Dr. Meredith Warner, an orthopedic surgeon who performed service in Iraq and Afghanistan, operates a clinical orthopedic practice, teaches medical students, and is an orthopedic surgeon, shows how the same underlying principles that extend life, reduce heart disease, kill cancer, and decrease incidences of dementia should be applied to the overall care for orthopedic problems.

In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Warner will teach readers how to become the healthiest version of themselves by:

• Improving health in joints, bones, tendons, and ligaments--both to restore strength and prevent future injury
• Healing naturally via a combination of lifestyle factors, including time-restricted eating, sleep schedule optimization, and simple exercises
• Increasing stamina for tasks requiring endurance
• Providing the tools and knowledge needed to naturally treat pain whenever possible
• Navigating medical options while avoiding sham surgeries, placebos, and other dangers
• Speeding up recovery and ensuring the best results if surgery is absolutely necessary
• Reducing cognitive decline and boosting mental health
