Review

Chiropractic Journal of Australia, December 2004
"Waddell's biopsychosocial model provides a most appropriate context in which clinicians of all hues may best address the problem. There is a more empathetic view with the patients's perspective. This second edition is a nice follow-up."

5.0 out of 5 stars Back Pain:Reversing the epidemic., April 29, 2000

By	Rosa Maria R. Rondon (Campo Grande, Brasil) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Back Pain Revolution (Hardcover)

The book is fascinating. Some issues discussed in this book might challenge the reader and that is the main purpose. The chapter "Back pain through history" gives an important historical perspective of the matter. "Psychologic Distress" "Beliefs about Back Pain" and "Social interactions" are of enormous importance for those who deals with "Back Care". The message is: Back pain should be a benign, self-limiting symptom and rest should be avoided. I strongly recommend this book for everyone who deals with Back Care.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, February 29, 2008

By	David Evans (Birmingham, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A comprehensive account of the state of play of the evidence-based management of low back pain. This book does not pretend to focus on the pathophysiology of back pain (for that, see Bogduk's 'Clinical Anatomy of the Lumbar Spine and Sacrum') but instead delivers a wealth of information on how the problems caused by back pain should be dealt with by patients, practitioners, purchasers, policy makers, politicians and the general public. A superb resource.
