Description As many as 80% of patients will suffer from back pain at some point in their lifetime. It is the most common form of disability, and the
second largest cause of work absenteeism. An early, proactive management approach offers the best route to minimizing these conditions.
Renowned authority Curtis W. Slipman, MD and a team of multidisciplinary authorities present you with expert guidance on today's best
non-surgical management methods, equipping you with the knowledge you need to offer your patients optimal pain relief.
