This book serves as an update of a special issue of The Spine Journal published in 2008 that focused on the management of acute and chronic low back pain without surgery. This textbook builds upon that issue and even improves the content. It's a well-organized and thorough review of the literature without being dull or tedious - not something you see very often.The different approaches discussed in this book include: physical activity, smoking cessation and weight loss; watchful waiting and brief education; back schools and fear avoidance training; lumbar stabilization exercise; lumbar strengthening exercise; McKenzie method; common analgesics; opioid analgesics; adjunctive analgesics; electrotherapeutic modalities and physical agents; traction therapy; massage therapy; spinal manipulation and mobilization; medicine-assisted manipulation and therapy; nutritional, herbal and homeopathic supplements; needle acupuncture; cognitive behavioral therapy; functional restoration; epidural steroid injections; trigger point injections; prolotherapy; lumbar medial branch neurotomoy; intradiscal thermal therapies; nucleoplasty; decompression surgery; fusion surgery and disc arthroplasty.Each chapter has five sections in the discussion of each intervention: description, theory, efficacy, safety and costs. One of the great things about this text is its objectivity. If the research supports a certain intervention, it's discussed. If the research does not support a certain intervention or if the research is insufficient, that's discussed as well.When it's all said and done, this is an excellent text for any health care professional involved in managing low back pain. I would also highly recommend this text for students as well even if it's not required reading. I really can't imagine a better overview of all the different types of treatments available for the management of low back pain.
This is the most complete and comprehensive textbook on the current effective treatment protocols for chronic low back pain that I have read. I highly recommend this textbook to any physicians that want to give their patients the cutting edge treatment for these chronic disabling conditions.To the best of health,Dr Jim Wooley DCTwo Time Olympian and 1984 Olympic Team Doctor and Manager
I strongly recommend this book to any health care practitioner that is involved in treating low back. Evidence based protocols are the new light to guide us in helping a providers with certainty and confidence.
Excellent book, it is a complete review, and should be a reference book. It has details of all that is important. Buy it!
