Johns Hopkins White Papers

  • 2010 Back Pain and Osteoporosis White Paper
    A lifetime of walking, standing, lifting, and twisting causes significant low back pain in 80% of all adults. And as our population continues to age, osteoporosis becomes an increasingly widespread problem. In the Back Pain and Osteoporosis White Paper, Johns Hopkins experts discuss sprains, strains, spasms, disk herniation, degenerative changes in the disks and spine, spinal stenosis, and osteoporosis, a common cause of hip and spine fractures. You will explore causes of back pain, learn about preventive steps and pain relief, and examine treatments that include the latest drug and surgical options. 96 pages.
