With a fresh approach to a common problem, this self-help guide to overcoming back pain advocates adopting the natural, healthy posture of athletes, young children, and people from traditional societies the world over. Arguing that most of what our culture has taught us about posture is misguided—even unhealthy—and exploring the current epidemic of back pain, many of the commonly cited reasons for the degeneration of spinal discs and the stress on muscles that leads to back pain are examined and debunked. The historical and anthropological roots of poor posture in Western cultures are studied as is the absence of back pain complaints in the cultures of Africa, Asia, South America, and rural Europe. Eight detailed chapters provide illustrated step-by-step instructions for making simple, powerful changes to seated, standing, and sleeping positions. No special equipment or exercise is required, and effects are often immediate.

A renowned chiropractor shares his holistic and practical back pain treatment plan, revealing his good posture, body balance, and nutrition secrets. Back pain is an epidemic in this country affecting 80% of the population and costing billions of dollars. It’s the number two reason people miss work right behind colds and flu. The western world tends to treat the symptoms of back pain and not the cause. Why is it underdeveloped countries that don’t have this problem when clearly they have poorer health facilities? Traveling in Haiti and other third world countries, Dr. Dabbs has come across by mistake a secret that the western world has forgotten about. He found out after treating hundreds of Haitians and other underdeveloped patients in hospitals and mountain towns that even if they were eighty or ninety years old they had very little back pain and arthritis, and great movement in their joints. Combine this secret with twenty-three years in practice of treating back pain, he and his staff of physical therapists, MDs, trainers and chiropractors have come up with some amazing facts that most doctors get wrong about back pain. This is Why Your Back Hurts is an easy-to-read and understand book that tells the secret Dr. Dabbs has found that will astound you and give you hope that you too can live without back pain.
