About this listen
Back pain is the leading cause of disability in the United States—yet misinformation about its causes and treatment is rampant. Too often, people default to medications or surgery, even though these approaches can be unnecessary, ineffective, or even harmful.
Christine Goertz, PhD, chiropractor and leading researcher in low back pain at Duke University, was looking for a book to recommend to patients and clinicians but couldn’t find one that encompassed all the most up-to-date research and treatments. So she decided to write the book herself.
Blending clinical expertise, patient examples, and the most up-to-date research, Take Your Back Back empowers you to take control of your healing journey. Dr. Goertz explains the physical and psychosocial causes of back pain, debunking common myths, and explaining pain mechanisms. She explores a wide range of treatment options that start with a holistic, self-care approach (including acupuncture, massage, yoga, exercise, spinal manipulation, and cognitive behavioral therapy) before medications and medical procedures. Throughout, she provides questionnaires, charts, and photographs of easy-to-implement exercises in a step by step program to help you find what works. She also takes you through finding the right clinician, advocating for yourself, and building a personalized action plan.
With its whole-health, patient-centered approach, Take Your Back Back is an essential and practical resource for anyone ready to reclaim their life from low-back pain.
