"This is the first book that bridges the gap between a surgical textbook and an elementary lay book. Dr. Filler clearly describes the nature of back pain and treatment in a fashion that is sufficiently detailed yet reasonably concise to address these important issues. He takes out the mystery and writes in an engaging readable style."

In addition to giving you important knowledge about your back, it also will provide an equally important 'peace of mind.'"
Richard Fessler, University of Chicago "Dr. Filler demonstrates the skills of a gifted communicator by carefully refining details into a succinct and relevant script."
James Byrne, University of Oxford "This excellent book should have wide appeal to a range of medical professionals and to patients.... The book succeeds in its aim 'to fill a major void by providing a comprehensive and authoritative reference source to patients facing spinal surgery.' It can be recommended with confidence."
