Description
Accessible to all health care professionals, this text provides a guide to understanding and managing back pain and is one of the premier
examples of a biopsychosocial approach to medicine. The content challenges unsubstantiated beliefs regarding the best way to treat and
manage back pain and presents an interdisciplinary debate on the subject. In a society where patients are demanding more effective approaches
to their problems, this resource offers a radical rethink, a necessary step to achieving a more effective method of treatment. The unorthodox
spirit of this material places this book at the center of the revolution taking place in the back pain area.
