Summary:

While nearly everyone else in his family studied traditional medicine to become an MD, Jeremy James, DC, CSCS, chose to become a Doctor of Chiropractic instead. It started because of his own struggles with back pain caused by a sports injury. The typical Western medical protocol--surgery, drugs, cookie-cutter care--didn't offer long-term relief. Then, after a second significant injury, a deeper realization came to him: The real cause of his back pain came from bad habits, and the real treatment came out of behavioral changes that took those habits head-on, like intentionally improving posture or getting up from the computer every thirty minutes to take a walk. Today, as Founder of BackForever.com, Dr. James has developed his insights into a complete behavioral/whole-body program, and works with everyone from office workers to serious athletes so that they can conquer back pain forever and continue doing all the things they love to do. One of coauthor Chris Crowley's great passions is the promotion of the Younger Next Year idea that behavioral change can have a vast impact on quality of life. As ever, he makes complex material understandable, motivational, and sometimes funny. --

Author Notes

Chris Crowley, a former litigator (Davis Polk & Wardwell), is the coauthor, with Henry S. Lodge, of the Younger Next Year books, and the coauthor, with Jen Sacheck, PhD, of Thinner This Year . Though in his eighties, he fully lives the life, skiing black diamonds and routinely doing fifty-mile bike rides. He and his wife live in New York City. Jeremy James, DC, CSCS, is Director of the Aspen Club Back Institute. He became a Doctor of Chiropractic (instead of going into traditional medicine like almost everyone else in his family) because of his own struggles with sports-induced back pain as a young athlete, and developed his behavioral/whole body method while working with serious athletes for over a decade. He lives with his wife and son in Aspen, Colorado.

Booklist Review

In the latest installment of the Younger Next Year books, series coauthor Crowley and chiropractor James empower people with often-agonizing back pain. They tackle proper diagnosis, exercises, and surgery, noting that doctors overprescribe spinal fusion, which costs about $100,000. They take turns writing alternate chapters, and both are funny. When he laments how people today neglect their glutes, James says, The use of the buttocks exclusively as a seat-cushion is a recent development in evolutionary terms, and a rotten one. They also clearly explain medical terms. The spinal cord, for example, is an information highway that sends and receives messages. A sprain is a stretch or tear of a ligament, whereas a strain is a stretch or tear in a tendon or muscle. They're almost like personal trainers: they expect patients to do some work and include clear instructions for such exercises as crunches. So instructive and descriptive are Crowley and James that everyone curious about the mechanics of the back and everyone with back pain will benefit from their easy-to-understand guide to preventing and treating that common ailment.--Karen Springen Copyright 2018 Booklist
