The Ultimate Back Book

I highly recommend this book. The book starts with a detailed account of the anatomy of the spine including parts of discs, and muscles surrounding the central nervous system. Next Ms. Fine proceeds with explainations of exactly what can go wrong. I particurly think that the malfunctions and usual age groups that they happen is helpful. She goes further to arm you with the knowledge of the biases that specific types of doctors may have towards certain procedures/diagnosis. An example is that a surgeon will, most likely, want to operate thus, finding a solution to your pain. The book includes self examinations and exercises. Also there is a history of what doctors have prescribed for back pain in prior years. Finally some advice as to how to live with pain and how to better manage that pain. I think this book becomes far more important in the age that we live. It is now, more than ever, time to take charge of your own health-whether it be diagnosis or progression towards managing pain.
