Excellent Resource

"The Complete Idiot's Guide to Healing Back Pain" is an excellent resource for those suffering from back pain. I initially used this book as a source for an article I was writing about chronic back pain, focusing only on the treatment sections, which assess both traditional and "alternative" therapies. But this book has more to offer: it presents clear, concise direction about ways to avoid, live with, and recover from back pain, in addition to basic facts about back structure and posture. The straight-forward writing, abundance of information, and useful blurbs within chapters make this an ideal reference guide for anyone interested in back health.
