A neurosurgeon tells the truth about back pain.
Patrick Roth M.D. believes that most of what you have been told about back pain is completely wrong. In The End of Back Pain, Dr. Roth introduces a novel way of both conceptualizing and treating back pain.
Pain is explored within the context of a dynamic brain/body relationship. A method of treating back pain by strengthening a set up muscles referred to as the "hidden core" is introduced which features the use of kettlebells. The book also features a diagnose yourself section, a surgeon's perspective of conservative and surgical treatments for back pain, and a prediction of how back pain will be treated in the next decade.
After reading the book you will understand why:
Your back should be straight when its bent
Pain medications cause more pain
Surgery is merely a preparation for physical therapy
You will also learn about:
The brain's judicial function
The placebo effect, and its partner, the nocebo effect
The anatomy and physiology of the core
How to exercise with kettlebells
The "back genome"
