title: Treating back problems better.
abstract: Back and neck pain are two of the most common and potentially most expensive complaints which patients bring to their family doctors. These problems can be helped when the physician listens, examines, and explains. Reasonable amounts of rest, specific exercises, home remedies, medications, manipulation, and other remedies may help. One must understand the natural history of the specific problem in order to treat it successfully. Generally, simple remedies are best.
