Back Pain Understood: A Cutting-edge Approach to Healing Your Back

by Brian Hainline

In our quick-fix society, we often search for easy medical fixes. We make a diagnosis, put it in a box, and provide a medication, manipulation or surgical intervention to treat the diagnosis. Sixty million Americans who suffer with chronic pain tell us that this approach does not work.

The art of medicine transforms this exploration into practical solutions. Back Pain Understood provides an easy-to-follow format that provides practical solutions for the healthcare practitioner and patient.
