This article highlights the work of Dr. Christine Goertz, a distinguished chiropractor and researcher at Duke University School of Medicine, who is dedicated to closing this gap. Dr. Goertz has not only published landmark studies, including a highly cited trial in JAMA Network Open, but has also created clinical pathways at Duke Health that guide patients toward non-drug options like chiropractic as a first-line treatment. Her new book, \"Take Your Back Back,\" is a direct effort to educate a mainstream audience. It aims to empower patients by debunking common myths about back pain, explaining the evidence for treatments like manual therapy, and providing a practical guide to advocating for better care. The book positions chiropractors as the right first call for low back pain. For practicing chiropractors, this book represents a rare, valuable resource: a patient-focused guide written by a highly credentialed researcher that validates their work in accessible language. It's a tool that can be used to educate skeptical patients and reinforce the value of a conservative-care-first approach.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/L9JHlAhKsM_jWCdhQPMD7P6loFfZMOCSxpA_WUWoWD8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lMmJh/M2U5ODNlOGFkZDYz/N2MyZDFlYmJhZGUy/MjRiNy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
