Award-winning national science reporter Liam Mannix delves into one of the world’s greatest public health challenges in his new book, Back Up.
Back Up, by national science reporter Liam Mannix.
Back pain and back-related disability has grown into an epidemic. As much as 84 per cent of the global population will suffer from back pain at some time in their lives. Every year in Australia, one in six of us will have back pain – almost 4 million people – and it will put more than 190,000 Australians in hospital.
Starting with his own experience, Liam explores the new science that’s offering hope to chronic sufferers. This cutting-edge neuroscience suggests we’ve got it all wrong when it comes to focusing on expensive treatments and that the answer, instead, lies in the connection between the brain and the back.
