Book One

Get Your Lower Back Pain Under Control - and Get on with Life

Anthony H. Guarino, MD

Johns Hopkins University Press For Patients Available Now

Chronic lower back pain affects millions of Americans - and most of them never receive a clear explanation of what is causing it or what they can actually do about it. This book changes that.

Written by Dr. Guarino after more than two decades of clinical practice, it translates the science of back pain into plain, actionable language. Readers learn to understand their diagnosis, evaluate their treatment options, ask better questions of their physicians, and take a more active role in their own recovery.

Published by Johns Hopkins University Press - one of the world's leading academic publishers in medicine and health - the book reflects the same evidence-based standard Dr. Guarino applies in the clinic and the courtroom.
