Every human being suffers from back pain at some point in life. In an effort to find relief, people turn to a wide variety of treatments, and to doctors who will prescribe narcotic painkillers.

When these treatments fail to help, they desperately conclude that surgery is their only option for relief.

MY FIRST 5-STAR BOOK REVIEW,
This is the first book I have ever given a 5-star review.
No other medical ailment, except perhaps cancer, is more subject to misinformation and pure chicanery than back pain. Yet here is a guy who makes his living doing back surgery, yet thinks his specialty is overused, and that in most cases you can solve your problem just by maintaining healthy weight and doing aerobic exercises.
The book came at a perfect time for me. I was having so much lower back pain that I decided to take two weeks off with almost no moving, hoping that whatever it was would heal itself. Nature intervened, however, and I found myself outside for hours at a time with a chain saw cutting up trees and hauling heavy pieces to the burn pile. I was sure I would pay a terrible price in much worse back pain. To my surprise, however, my pain completely disappeared.
While I was trying to solve this puzzle, my wife saw a review of this book. It sounded good especially since the author is giving advice against his own financial interest, which is unusual. I ordered it from Amazon with extra-cost overnight delivery and read it the next day. (It isn’t very long and the cartoons and illustrations take up some space.) Now I understand the reason for my instant cure.
The write-up in the product listing is excellent, so I won’t repeat it, but it is important for you to know that it is very readable by a layman. (I’m never sure whether I have two livers and one kidney, or the other way around.
If you have back pain or just want to wow your friends with all the inside dope, get this book – fast.

Very good book,
This is a great no nonsense book on neck and back pain. In the book, the doc goes over many common conditions that are associated with pain and goes over various therapies often used to treat them. He recommends that we tackle back/neck pain with some exercise (like taking walks) as there is much data on the effectiveness of this. The body and especially the spine require motion by design in order to be healthy. He suggests that doing specific exercises in general (like physiotherapy) may cause more harm then good and that good old walking maybe the best bet. He cautions against the excessive use of caffeine and alcohol as these may lead to a bad outcome.
I have a grade one spondylolisthesis and have found his suggestions helpful.

Conquer Neck and back Pain,
This book is a great resource for the millions of people that suffer from back pain. My doctor recommended the book and I was skeptical, but after reading and taking Dr Mark Brown’s advice it is working.
I have started walking more and doing some Yoga stretching and my back feels much better. I know there are many cases that are serious and probably need surgey, but if you are undecided you should read this book.
I would tell anyone who is suffering from low back pain to give this book a read and it could be a life saver.
Thanks,
Jeff Douglas
