Hi, I’m Dr. Bragg from the Spine and Orthopedic Pain Center in Norfolk Virginia. A few years ago when I wrote my book on back pain I was honored that Coach Mike Krzyzewski from Duke University gave me an endorsement of my book. This month I’ve reduced the price by 50% because I want you to get a copy so that you can have some tips to prevent back pain. So go to Amazon.com today and get your copy!
