Reference on Back and Neck Pain for Patients

Dr. Mark D. Brown, Professor and Chairman Emeritus, Department of Orthopaedics, is the author of a book on back and neck pain which will be released the first week of June 2008.

In Conquer Back and Neck Pain: Walk It Off!, renowned spine specialist Mark Brown, MD, Ph.D, explains exactly what causes back pain and why humans are so predisposed to spinal problems.

Dr. Brown includes a detailed questionnaire to help you identify which of the seven types of back pain you are experiencing, and then explains each type in easy-to-understand terms. Contrary to what you might expect from a spinal surgeon, Dr. Brown actually advocates against turning to surgery in most cases of back pain, and he warns against many other pitfalls that people with back pain commonly fall into when looking for relief. Avoiding these mistakes, along with incorporating gentle aerobic exercise, will almost always allow you to “walk off” your back or neck pain naturally.

With an interesting collection of anecdotes, Conquer Back and Neck Pain: Walk It Off!  brings fresh and new insight into how the back really works and how to finally find healthy relief from back pain.

Conquer Back and Neck Pain: Walk It off!  will be available in June 2008 through major bookstores or may also be ordered directly from Sunrise River Press by calling 1-800-895-4585 or by visiting http://www.sunriseriverpress.com/.
