The information presented is really important for low back pain sufferers. Heightened awareness of body mechanics and an understanding of behavior that is likely to result in serious back injury is a very big deal for most Homo sapiens. I would like to see more self help information and more guidance in physical therapy.

this book was very helpful to my husband ,who has stenosis of the lower back. Gave him info that hadn't been given to him before. helped him understand pain management better. I also found a section on the type of arthritis I have that was very informative. Glad I bought this book.

I ordered the book after finding an earlier edition (1993) in my resident library.
i was most interested in surgical topics. This book addressed artificial disc replacement in more depth. On the downside, the earlier edition had a few paragraphs on rhizotomy (severing a nerve); rhizotomies continue to be performed
and a surgeon I visited recommended the procedure for me. The current edition had only one reference in the glossary. Also, the diagrams could be larger and more detailed. Overall though, I think it is worthwhile book for anyone with back problems.
