With so many back care books on the market, you would think that by now we have got to grips with the problem, but in fact the opposite is true: back pain is on the increase. This book shall aid patients' understanding of the cause of their back and neck pain so that they will know how to deal with it. In the past, most guides have given general advice and indiscriminate exercises which should solve everyone's problems and when they do not, it is the patient's fault for not doing enough exercise! This book recognizes that each particular problem needs specific advice. There is more than just one solution because there is more than one cause.
