7 Steps to Ease Back Pain

7 Steps to Ease Back Pain is a guide to taking control and managing your back pain yourself, but it’s important to remember that with back pain no two conditions are the same. Each one of us has different problems and needs, so it’s important that we determine what sort of back pain we’re suffering from.

  • Back pain affects around 2.5 million people in the United Kingdom at any one time.
  • Four out of five people suffer from back pain at some time in their lives. This can be short-term and acute, or it can become recurrent or chronic.
  • Back pain is the biggest single cause of absence from work and loses organisations millions of pounds in lost productivity every year.


All of us have either suffered – or know someone who has suffered from – back pain.

Many appointments at GPs’ surgeries are taken up by people suffering with their back – but many of these appointments are not really necessary.

If you can evaluate your own back pain and practise good self-care when your back flares up, you may ease your symptoms and recover well, without the need to see a doctor.

From the Forword:

I have read many books on the treatment and prevention of back pain. Many authors concentrate on a different approach or therapy such as manipulation, muscle techniques or postural rehabilitation. These books nearly always include chapters on anatomy, exercise and balance techniques.

This book covers these topics but adds chapters on nutrition, hydration and ergonomics. The section on nutrition is one of the most informative I have seen and is written in clear terms for the general public. Whether patients try to control their back conditions themselves or seek treatment from a medical professional the information contained in 7 Steps to Ease Back Pain will certainly help assist recovery and prevention.
