It's interesting to me that although I've had back pain most of my life, my doctor never went through my back's anatomy as well as the introductory part of this book. The book has a section on the causes of back pain, when to see a doctor, and the types of treatment available, i.e. seeing a physical therapist or a chiropractor. Sadly, the portion of preventing back pain are too late for me!  The chapter I found truly useful was that on home treatments, which include choices varying from ice (which I know helps) to a homemade cream (which I will try). I liked the section on Ginger as it's something I already use for my stomach issues - so it's cool to know I can also use it on my back. Good general information - not only on treatment but on back exercises to help ease your pain.
