Patrick Roth M.D. has a solution for what ails you--if what ails you is the lack of a strong core, which can lead to a host of serious problems, one of the worst of which is back pain. Back pain manifests itself in many different forms, attacks without warning, and damages its victims' physical and emotional health.
Everyone suggests a different cure for the effects of a weak core: surgeons want to cut, chiropractors want to adjust, physical therapists want to perform physical therapy. But as Dr. Roth reveals in his provocative book, THE END OF BACK PAIN the simple fact is that a body that is not fully used is an unhealthy, weak, and painful body.
More often than not, back pain is caused by the fact that a crucial set of muscles in the core that control the stability and alignment of the spine are not being used. The good news is that developing that inner core can relieve, control--and even prevent--chronic pain. Developing this core (as Dr. Roth explains how to do with a specialized workout program) can have an added benefit in the appearance of a person's body which will become more toned than if he or she exercised the muscles that we can see, like the abdominals or obliques.
THE END OF BACK PAIN is a refreshing approach to strengthening the actual core of the body--which is deep inside what we usually think of as our core. The book is a comprehensive guide to treating and preventing back pain from a neurosurgeon who provides an innovative exercise based program, helps patients view the body from a totally different perspective, and inspires readers to push their bodies hard in order to cure its maladies. Finally, readers will get true and lasting relief.
