Summary:
"The author of Carved in Sand - an investigative journalist who endured persistent back pain for decades - delivers an examination of the back pain industry, exploring what works, what doesn't, what may cause harm, and how to get on the road to recovery. Cathryn Jakobson Ramin spent years and a small fortune on a panoply of treatments for her chronic back pain. Her discomfort only intensified, leaving her feeling frustrated and perplexed. As she searched for better solutions, she exposed a much bigger problem. Costing roughly $100 billion a year, spine medicine, often ineffective and sometimes harmful, exemplified the worst aspects of the U.S. health care system. A startling look at the poorly identified risks of spine medicine. Ramin interviewed scores of spine surgeons, pain management doctors, physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians, exercise physiologists, physical therapists, chiropractors, and specialized bodywork practitioners. She met with many patients whose pain and desperation led them to make life-altering decisions, and with others who triumphed over their limitations. Ramin shatters assumptions about surgery, chiropractic methods, physical therapy, spinal injections and painkillers, and addresses evidence-based rehabilitation options - showing, in detail, how to avoid therapeutic dead ends, while saving money, time, and considerable anguish. What it takes to outwit the back pain industry and get on the road to recovery."--Provided by publisher.
