Dear Reader,
It's the first thing so many of my patients do when they suffer back pain or are diagnosed with osteoporosis: learn everything they can about the disorder to become the best-informed health consumer they can be.
But where do you start? The library? The internet? How can you tell what's current...what's accurate...what's safe? Your own physician? If only doctors had the kind of time required to give their patients the in-depth education you want and need.
Introducing...
The 2008 Johns Hopkins White Paper:
Back Pain and Osteoporosis
The expertise you require in the layman's language
you can understand and apply.
The Johns Hopkins White Papers redefine the term "informed consumer." In The 2008 Johns Hopkins White Paper: Back Pain and Osteoporosis, specialists from Johns Hopkins Medicine report in depth on the latest back pain and osteoporosis prevention strategies and treatments. Thousands of Americans rely on Johns Hopkins expertise to help them treat their back pain and manage their osteoporosis.
It's the price we pay for evolution. A lifetime of walking, standing, lifting, and twisting causes significant low back pain in 80% of all adults. In fact, this pain sends more people to the doctor than any complaint except upper respiratory symptoms. And as our population continues to age, osteoporosis becomes an increasingly widespread problem.
In this White Paper report, the Johns Hopkins experts tackle 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 the causes and diagnostic techniques, preventive steps that can spare you considerable pain, and examine treatments that include the latest drug and surgical options.
The 2008 Johns Hopkins White Paper: Back Pain and Osteoporosis is designed to help you ensure the best outcome. Use what you learn to help you:
- Recognize and respond to symptoms and changes as they occur.
- Communicate effectively with your doctor, ask informed questions, and understand the answers.
- Make the right decisions, based on an understanding of the newest drugs, the latest surgical techniques, the most promising research.
- Take control over your condition and act from knowledge, rather than fear.
