Back pain affects 60–80% of people at least once in their lives — yet most suffer needlessly, unaware that simple, drugless solutions already exist. Your Back Is the Backbone of Your Health is a trusted, time-tested guide — originally published in 1996 and now fully revised for 2026 — that empowers you to understand, prevent, and heal back pain naturally, from the comfort of your home.

Written by Healer R. K. Dham, MD (Alternative Medicine) and Dr. Pallavi Dham, MBBS, DPM, DNB, FRANZCP, this book distils decades of clinical practice at the renowned Institute of Health and Cosmic Harmony, where over 70% of patients presented with back pain — and the vast majority found lasting relief through the holistic methods detailed here.
