Consultation with the Back Doctor

A Consultation with the Back Doctor addresses today's problems and dispels current myths about neck and back pain.

Controversies about new therapies and even unnecessary surgery are making headlines across North America. Dr. Hall discusses both new and old treatments and tells you what works to relieve back pain (and why it works) and what doesn't work. His explanations are clear, concise and informative.
