Book Reviews of Back Pain Remedies for Dummies

Book Review: Superficial: Broad not deep; also it ignores the neck
Summary: 3 Stars

This books covers a lot of territory but I did not find it particularly helpful. It feels like it has a lot of filler material to get it to "book length", without focusing in on the most useful information. Also, it completely ignores the neck, apparently assuming that all problems are lower-back problems.

Save your money on Back Pain Remedies for Dummies or just check it out of the library and skim it; in my opinion it is not worth the space it takes up on my book shelf.

  • Back pain affects more than 80 percent of the population at some time during their lifetime.
  • Back pain is second only to the common cold as a reason for visits to the doctor and it is second only to childbirth as a reason for hospitalization.
  • Approximately 50 percent of the working population reports back problems every year.
  • The total medical cost of back pain exceeds 20 billion dollars a year in the United States.
