Brilliant! February 29, 2008

A comprehensive account of the state of play of the evidence-based management of low back pain. This book does not pretend to focus on the pathophysiology of back pain (for that, see Bogduk's 'Clinical Anatomy of the Lumbar Spine and Sacrum') but instead delivers a wealth of information on how the problems caused by back pain should be dealt with by patients, practitioners, purchasers, policy makers, politicians and the general public. A superb resource.
Excellent source for practice of evidence-based medicine March 12, 2002

This book offers an excellent summary of the most current evidence about causes, prognosis, treatment and rehabilitation of back problems.
I recommend it for physicians, patients and policy makers.
Back Pain:Reversing the epidemic. April 29, 2000

The book is fascinating. Some issues discussed in this book might challenge the reader and that is the main purpose. The chapter "Back pain through history" gives an important historical perspective of the matter. "Psychologic Distress" "Beliefs about Back Pain" and "Social interactions" are of enormous importance for those who deals with "Back Care". The message is: Back pain should be a benign, self-limiting symptom and rest should be avoided. I strongly recommend this book for everyone who deals with Back Care.
