Back Surgery – Avoid the Nightmare

Dear Reader:  My book, Back Surgery – Avoid the Nightmare will be out very soon.  It's a must read for anyone contemplating back surgery of any kind – especially spinal fusion.  The fact is, they don't work.  In far too many cases, back pain persists or even gets worse long after surgery.  A second operation is almost always needed.

The following statement appears in the book:  "Goode is a strong advocate of patients’ rights and skeptical when it comes to the alleged benefits of many new diagnostic and therapeutic procedures now in vogue.  He believes tht since acute low back pain is a self-limiting condition and because scientific evidence shows that both conservative and invasive treatments produce the same results after two years, spinal surgery – with its risks and complications – is not a rational first choice."


Another quote from the Head of Orthopaedics, Dartmouth Medical School:  “ It’s amazing how much evidence there is that fusions don’t work, yet surgeons do them anyway.”  Sohail Mirza, MD, Chairman, Department of Orthopaedics, Dartmouth Medical School, Hanover, New Hampshire.


The book will be available on this site, Amazon, Booklocker and other online booksellers' sites.
