But her pain only intensified, giving her sense frustrated and perplexed. As she searched for better solutions, she exposed a much bigger problem.

The consequence of six years of intensive exploration, Crooked offers a startling go through the poorly identified dangers of spine remedies and provides functional advice and solutions. Ramin interviewed results of spine surgeons, pain management doctors, physical remedies and rehabilitation physicians, exercise physiologists, physical therapists, chiropractors, and specialised bodywork professionals. She satisfied with many patients whose pain and desperation led those to make life-altering decisions and with other people who triumphed over their constraints. The result is an excellent and comprehensive book that is not only important but necessary to millions of back pain sufferers and all sorts of health-care specialists. Ramin shatters assumptions about surgery, chiropractic methods, physical remedy, spinal shots, and painkillers and addresses evidence-based treatment options - teaching, in detail, how to prevent therapeutic inactive ends while saving cash, time, and considerable anguish. With Crooked, she reveals what must be done to outwit the trunk pain industry and can get on the street to recovery.
