Fifteen Surefire Tips for Relieving Back Pain (Plus 192 Others, Just in Case) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780985201777)

Over the past 15 years, Andrew Kirschner D.O. has become the physician many top athletes and performers turn to for relief from pain. He has been covered in many national publications including Martha Stewart Living, Andrew Weil's Self-Healing, and Psychology Today. He has been a regular guest on Whole Living Radio, the Veria Network, as well as numerous Philadelphia based news outlets. A board certified physician, graduate and Assistant Clinical Professor at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, Doctor Kirschner has created a unique combination of his own Osteopathic techniques and other carefully selected modalities which he has named OSTeO. These techniques with the accompanying psychological strategies can often help to decrease pain and restore peak function where more conventional approaches have failed. Athletes and the physically challenged, adolescents and the elderly have all benefitted from this unique approach to back & neck pain. He teaches these techniques both to laypersons in his Back Together live seminars, as well as to clinicians. He serves as a preceptor for medical students and as the director of the Osteopathic Manual Medicine program in the Family Practice residency at Bryn Mawr Hospital and Main Line Health. Back Together- Hands-On Healing for Couples, his well-reviewed first book was released in 2006, followed by the launch of his blog BackWords and the release of his DVD program Back Together in 2009 and 2010 respectively. He has recently made the transition to interactive software with the release of Back Together Interactive for iPad in May 2011. Back and neck pain expert, Andrew Kirschner maintains a private practice in Bala Cynwyd, PA and a peak performance consultancy in Miami, FL. He lives with his wife Donna and their two children. His other interests include playing and writing original compositions for the piano, mountain biking, drawing and painting and vintage auto mechanics.
