Yes, you need back surgery. No, back surgery
will not help your condition.
With all the inaccurate and misleading information
out there, it's no wonder that doctors themselves have conflicting
views on how to treat a given back problem. However, it is the decision
you make regarding back surgery that counts. The problem has always
been finding the information necessary to make a wise choice--or
it was, until now. Dr. Edwin Haronian has put together a guide that
looks at the conditions and the procedures, both surgical and nonsurgical,
and answers the most common questions people have about treating
back problems.
The book is divided into three parts. Part One
begins by examining the anatomy of your back. It then discusses
the common types of back conditions that result in pain, along with
each disorder's telltale signs. From there it looks at the latest
and most effective treatments available, from acupuncture to medications
to surgeries. Should you select surgery, Part Two offers important
pre-op and post-op suggestions to make you an informed patient.
And once you return home, Part Three provides
a proven program to prevent back problems in the future. No back
surgery is minor. A lot of questions need to be asked, answered,
and understood before you can make a smart decision about your treatment.
With this book in hand, you will have the facts you need to make
the choice that is best for you .
