 Heal Your Aching Back Book July 15, 2009
L. Biringer
Excellent book written in common sense and understandable language. Reassuring to know that just a small percentage of back problems are terribly serious, and that the majority can be helped and avoided by doing some easy exercises. Was a real help and would recommend it to anyone.
 Good overview April 30, 2009
David Stoker (Arlington, VA)
I found it informative, a good general overview written for a wide audience. It inspired changes in my own search for treatment so I would take that as success.

Can-do guide to curing your backache October 26, 2007

6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Chances are excellent that someone close to you suffers back pain. Few people manage to avoid completely the pain of wrenched, twisted, strained or pulled back muscles. Most of the time, back injuries are minor and the pain eventually dissipates. But millions of people suffer relentless, agonizing back pain that prevents them from living normal lives. They go from specialist to specialist, frustrated by different diagnoses and unable to escape the pain. Back in 1984, Harvard University's Dr. Jeffrey Katz realized through his own experiences with back pain that the medical profession knew little about how to treat it. He decided to specialize in musculoskeletal problems and to dedicate his career to helping those who suffer back pain. Katz has done all the heavy lifting for his readers. His book is easy to understand and helpful, with clear illustrations and charts. We highly recommend it to those who already suffer from back pain and want a head start at the doctor's office.

I'm very glad I purchased this book, as it is well written, easy to understand and very thorough. Dr. Katz discusses the anatomy of the back, the causes of back problems, medications, treatments, surgery and much more. I would recommend the book to anyone who has back problems and wants help knowing what to do about them.
