Back Pain: How to Get Rid of It Forever (Volume 1: The Causes)
The title says it all: this book will help you permanently banish your back pain. In two logical volumes, it shows you how to feel better.
The first part makes it easy for you to understand your back pain. Using simple, clear language, it explains the structure of your spine, and demystifies many common pain-provoking conditions.
The second part offers a unique quiz that will help you to classify your injury into one of four types. In this way, you will learn how to cure your pain, not someone else’s. Then the advice flows thick and fast. You will learn clever techniques that will help you to use your spine more efficiently, and discover how to think, eat, relax, and sleep away your pain. You’ll also find useful information on exercises, x-rays, medication and muscles, plus some tips on how to choose a spinal health practitioner. Of course, all of the advice will be tailored to your specific problem.
Because the cure uses well-proven techniques, your relief won’t just last a few days or weeks. You will feel better forever.

The Story Behind This Book
I first wrote 'Back Pain' in 1999. I owned and ran two physiotherapy clinics, but could not find a back pain prevention book to recommend to my patients. So I decided to write one! The trouble with the other books on the market that although many of then were very well written, they all gave the same advice to every sufferer, regardless of his or her condition. This strategy is as silly as an optometrist giving every patient the same set of eye glasses. So I developed a classification quiz to help readers identify their back pain type, and tailored different advice and exercises for each one. 'Back Pain' was originally published by Hale and Iremonger in Australia. It sold out its original print run. Unfortunately the publishers closed their doors soon thereafter. I have recently republished an updated version of 'Back Pain' under the JP Publishing Australia imprint, as well as reformatting and optimising it as a two volume E-Book. The new editions also reflect recent advances in the treatment of back pain, so readers can be assured they are getting the very best advice.
