Vladimir Demchenko is a neurologist-vertebrologist, a specialist in sports medicine and rehabilitation, a manual therapist for the hockey club CSKA, and a qualified practitioner of modern international methods for treating muscle and joint pain. He is trusted by 1.27 million subscribers on YouTube and tens of thousands of patients who have already gotten rid of back problems. It doesn’t matter what diagnosis you’ve been given: if you suffer from back pain, this book is for you. Up to 70% of back pain is treated incorrectly or ineffectively. The problem is in diagnosis. Pain isn’t always about herniated discs or issues with the spine—and most often it can be resolved on your own, without bone-setters, injections, and operations. In the pages of this book you’ll find:
• questions for self-diagnosis that tell you more about your back than MRI;
• advice on how to choose a specialist and a treatment strategy;
• sets of simple physical exercises with video instructions;
—and other tools for effective treatment.
