Back Pain Book (.pdf version)

Description

My purpose of writing this book on backache is to make individuals suffering from back pain to understand the cause of pain and avoid aggressive treatment. I also want to share the published data that suggests most backaches do go away with time and conservative treatment. My goal of writing this book on back pain is to educate individuals suffering with backache to choose the treatment that is less harmful. Avoid opioids and surgery for hoping to get quick relief.
