BACK IN ACTION: Straight Answers to Back Pain & Its Relief Ref: REA230

Sarah Key

Advises on all aspects of back pain and the treatment available in a question-and-answer format. With clear explanations, it answers a range of questions, from the causes of back pain to the impact of everyday activities: Do I have a slipped disc? Should I try acupuncture? Am I depressed because of my backache or is my depression causing my backache? In which position should I sleep? Is sex, housework, or my office chair bad for my back? Key maintains that most back problems are caused simply by joint stiffness, and that by using physiotherapy to mobilize the stiff spinal links and practicing techniques and exercises to keep each vertebra separated and supple, people can have healthy backs. This book offers a daily self-treatment plan that shows how to strengthen a back and alleviate pain, as well as advice on the therapeutic benefits of yoga and exercises for coping with the pain often associated with long-distance travel.

HEALING BACK PAIN NATURALLY Ref: REA391

Arthur H Brownstein

How to improve back health through exercise, yoga-based stretches, and stress reductiona reasonable plan. Brownstein (a clinical instructor of medicine at the University of Hawaii, Manoa) suffered multiple injuries and severe back pain for 20 years; when traditional medicines and surgery failed to help, he found relief by creating a regimen drawing on alternative therapies. The knowledge he acquired from yoga, meditation, diet, relaxation, and deep breathing was channeled into a program he calls Back To Life. Unlike the quick fixes offered by conventional medicine, Brownstein's program works holistically and requires changing unhealthy life patterns. He introduces the reader to a stretching program and strengthening exercises (demonstrated in black-and-white photos), then covers stress management, nutrition, return to work, and the psycho-spiritual elements of recovery.
