Doctor Borenstein presents a fairly complete review of back pain and conditions that cause them.
He presents the common practiced remedy's their pros and cons.He explains how though practiced often here in the United States surgery is not always the best remedy. In most cases surgery is only to relieve the pain in the upper leg, the lower leg being controlled by a different nerve.
He reviews the medications used and their various possible side effects and pitfalls.
Dr. Borenstein looks at our life style such as activity levels, weight, whether we smoke or not and diet as well our work related duties. He looks at non traditional pain remedy's as well as supplementation of such things as Vitamin D, glucosamine/Chondroitin,Ginger as well as others.
He also gives us exercises to try and help relieve back pain as well as recovery from any procedure done.
He goes into body mechanics and the need to be conscious of what we do and how we do it.That to remain active is better than "bed rest" for an injury of this type.
This is a good and informative book for any one looking to have the various types of back conditions explained and possible treatments both surgical and non surgical. One of the best methods of dealing with back pain and it's control is to be informed.
