The Back Bible by Jenny Sutcliffe
A must-have family reference packed with proven, practical approaches to caring for your back throughout your life. With a full anatomy of the spine and back, a breakdown of different types of pain, when to see the doctor and at-a-glance diagnostic advice, The Back Bible offers a physiological run down of the problems that can affect you back, neck, and shoulders. Dozens of self-help measures are covered, including general back care, exercise routines, ways of improving sleeping posture and the benefits of heat/hydro therapy and self-massage. There is also extensive advice on managing back pain, from analgesics to visualisation and meditation. The book then guides you through what to expect from conventional medical care, covering diagnosis, drug treatments, surgery, physiotherapy and a directory of complementary therapies and specialist treatments.
Dr Jenny Sutcliffe is a qualified physician and physiotherapist who worked for several years at the British National Hospital for Nervous Diseases in London. She has written a number of books on back care and regularly contributes to British newspapers and magazines, UK radio and TV.
