Back care basics

Written by Dr. Mary Pullig Schatz, this guide is aimed at readers living with ongoing pain from muscle and ligament strain in the back or neck. It also addresses spinal arthritis, osteoporosis, premenstrual syndrome, scoliosis, and the back changes that come with pregnancy.

The book focuses on methods for healing the back, improving the body's alignment, and managing stress. Readers learn to notice the early signs that a painful flare-up is coming and to take steps to prevent it.
