About This Book
Back and neck pains may range from mild discomfort to severe disabling health conditions. Such pains can adversely affect the mobility and daily activities. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), about 80 percent of adults experience low back pain at some point in their lifetimes. All told, low back pain is the second most common neurological ailment in the United States after headache. Although back and neck disorders are responsible for significant suffering, new treatments, medications, exercise programs, and surgical advances are bringing hope to many patients with spinal concerns.
Back and Neck Disorders Sourcebook, Third Edition provides information about diseases, disorders, and injuries that affect the spinal column, including fractures, osteoarthritis, scoliosis, spina bifida, spinal stenosis, ankylosing spondylitis, and cancers that occur in the back and neck regions. It also describes proper spine function and includes suggestions for maintaining spinal health. For patients with back and neck problems, it offers helpful information about medications and rehabilitative therapies, along with facts about surgical techniques, and presents facts about clinical trials. A glossary, directory of resources for further help and information, and suggestions for additional reading are also provided.
