Great read and a must for back sufferers 
This book is right on the mark and very well organized and presented. Back pain is a very common ailment and there are lot's of treatment alternatives. This book discusses a wide variety, but leaves the choices to the reader and advises the reader to take charge of their own health. I would recomend for anyone who has chronic back pain.

Great resource!
Dr. Winter performed my spinal fusion to correct scoliosis in 1978. Obviously I was very interested in this book because he wrote it; not because I have back pain :-) I have been working with a personal trainer so I was most interested in the chapter "Keeping Your Back Healthy and Strong" to compare the exercises in my workout with what Dr. Winter and Dr. Bach recommend. This is an excellent reference book for anyone needing info on back exercises, back problems/pain, and selecting a physician.
To show you the kind of people these 2 doctors are, I would like to quote a paragraph from this book:
"...if the doctor tells you that your problem is chronic back pain, then get out of his or her office and find someone else. This is not a diagnosis; all the doctor has done is put a name on what you already knew you had. You deserve a real diagnosis and correct treatment, not a restatement of the obvious."
Advice at it's best.

Great reference book
The first two chapters in the book make it worth the cost and the information in any Appendix makes it priceless. A word of caution, this book doesn't cover neck pain, but concentrates on the rest of the spine. I learned so much from keeping my back healthy to how to choose a physician if needed to finding legitimate web sites on the internet. This book is sure to help anyone who either has back or leg pain (often caused by back issues), anyone who loves someone with sort of pain, and those who wish to keep from having such pain. I can't recommend it enough.
