A diagnostic and therapeutic breakthrough that helps you move beyond the pain. When it comes to back pain, most health practitioners focus on
locating and treating only the physical causes. A few may look to the
mind/ body connection for the emotional underpinnings of pain. But
virtually no one uses the three-tiered approach presented in this book.
The Truth About Back Pain dispels the many myths of back pain as
it offers an innovative and flexible prescription. This holistic new
approach to diagnosis and treatment is based on the idea that back pain
can be caused by one or more of three distinct factors: structural --
actual physical damage; nutritional -- an unhealthy diet (as well as
toxic influences or hormonal changes); and emotional -- stress and
personal issues that affect your health. Instead of radical untested therapies or surgical treatments, The Truth About Back Pain
proposes solutions that use noninvasive physical and easy-to-implement
mental techniques. Offering concrete and specific advice ranging from
exercises and meal plans to methods for dealing with everyday stress,
this book will provide you with all the tools you need to understand
the root causes of your back pain -- and to take the appropriate
measures for relief. pub date: 2008-03-04 | hardcover | 9780399533938 |
