The book does a superb job of examining the literature for each topic, and chapters are prepared by acknowledged experts in each discipline.
This is a wonderful book. It provides, in one place, thorough and up-to-date information on the most common forms of management for low back pain. It does so by relying on recent, rigorous literature from leading lights for each topic. I cannot think of any book in this area which comes close to this one in terms of accomplishing its goals and of meeting readers` educational needs. It will find use in many different areas of healthcare and in educational institutions. It will have a wide audience.

The authors went to great lengths to take a close-up look at a wide array of treatment options and they realized a nearly impossible task of streamlining the bulk of currently available evidence on chronic low back pain. For each treatment, five different sections were created to allow clinicians, patients, third-party payers and other stakeholders to make informed decisions; namely: description, theory, efficacy, safety and costs. This intelligent design was implemented identically for each treatment.
