Back and Neck Health

Mayo Clinic guide to treating and preventing back and neck pain

Back and neck pain are common complaints. When you think of all of the work your back and neck do each day—constantly moving, bending and twisting as you go about your day-to-day activities—it’s not surprising problems develop. It’s estimated that more than 80 percent of American adults will experience at least one bout of back pain during their lifetimes.

The Mayo Clinic Back and Neck Health book looks at common back and neck conditions and what can cause them. The book also discusses different ways to treat back and neck pain. This includes self-care steps you can take at home, several interventional approaches, and different types of surgery. The final chapter of the book focuses on lifestyle and how to maintain good back and neck health.

In this book you’ll discover:
  • More than 80 percent of Americans experience at least one bout of back pain in their lifetimes.
  • Back injury is the most common cause of job-related disability and a leading contributor to missed days of work.
  • Up to 30 percent of Americans are bothered by neck pain.
  • Low back pain and neck pain account for the highest amounts of health care spending by both private and public insurers.
  • Back and neck pain can be treated — often without surgery.
  • Advice from leading Mayo physicians, who treat back and neck pain on a daily basis.

Experts at Mayo Clinic Spine Center take an evidence-based, multidisciplinary approach to managing spine disorders. Doctors discuss the full range of treatment options — including medication, physical therapy and interventional pain management. Surgery is recommended only when necessary or when it is likely to produce beneficial results.
