T hank you for picking up The Back Pain Relief Diet. I am thanking you
because I know a back pain relief diet book sounds a bit crazy, and there

All of these things show that our doctors are not succeeding in diagnosing and
treating back pain, and that’s because our treatments are not targeting all of the
sources of back pain. Here’s one more shocking truth about back pain: ones’ diet
