Summary

Chronic back pain resists treatment. The pain goes on and on, and all too often doctors have no answers. But that doesn't mean there aren't any! Natural medicine abounds with safe, gentle alternatives that can get the job done. The keys are in this book: advice from an M.D. who has taught medicine at Harvard and Tufts Universities; how to use yoga to strengthen and heal your back; how to get the most from chiropractic and osteopathy; relaxation techniques to unwind tension knots; healing foods, herbs and vitamin supplements; aromatherapy for aching backs; ... and much more!
