A pain-relief expert offers a comprehensive program for keeping your back healthy and minimizing the need for drugs and surgery
Four out of five adult Americans experience back pain at some point in their lives-it's the nation's third most common reason for surgery, the number-one occupational hazard, and the most prevalent cause of disability in men and women under age forty-five. Whether it results from injury, osteoporosis, or an unusually intense weekend golf game, back pain is a common cause of serious discomfort or even debilitation.
Dr. Harris H. McIlwain has devoted his career to bringing relief to sufferers of back pain and arthritis; in The Pain-Free Back, he reveals his six-step program for achieving and maintaining a healthy back. Nearly all of this pain can be controlled without surgery, and McIlwain addresses every aspect of this process, including
o exercises to strengthen your back
o lifestyle changes that reduce the stress on your back
o touch therapies for soothing various types of back pain
o tips for maintaining a healthy weight on a back-friendly diet
o complementary and alternative medicines that will ease your pain naturally
This comprehensive guide diagnoses and explains back pain; more important, it shows you how to eliminate it without expensive medical procedures. Anyone who experiences back pain will find this an indispensable aid to recovering a full and active life.

Rating:  - Not worth your time or money
I kept reading hoping to find something of importance but zip. The weightloss solutions are to find a fad diet out there that you like. The exercises are nothing new. Save your money and go take a yoga class.
Rating:  - Good
I have enjoyed the book. It is very informative. Will continue to use and enjoy it.
Rating:  - Thorough, holistic approach

I scanned through the book and found that the step-by-step multifaceted program focused on my lifestyle habits. From exercise to diet to stress management, the authors explain how these habits influence back pain--either decreasing or worsening it. I found the step on computers and back pain ... Read More
