Excerpts

“My goal, today just as at the beginning, remains unchanged: to combine scientific rigor, technical experience and clinical common sense to offer every patient the most effective treatment possible, while also being the safest — tailored to the individual, not ‘standardized’ based solely on imaging”

“Imagine pedaling. Your legs push hard, the pedals turn, the chain glides silently and the bicycle moves forward. Everything seems natural, smooth, almost obvious. But if it breaks or seizes up, the whole mechanism stops: no more movement, no more journey.

The spine works, in a way, much like this. It is a living chain, made not of steel links but of vertebrae, discs, muscles and ligaments.”

“I have tried to gather and explain all those concrete, practical treatments and measures that a person can apply on their own, which can help keep the spine functioning well and free of symptoms and, as far as possible, keep it away from the scalpel or, in any case, prepare it as well as possible in case surgery ultimately proves to be the only useful solution.”


The Spine and the Chain is not a medical textbook, but a new way to understand your body. Written by neurosurgeon Josip Buric, with over thirty years of experience in spinal surgery, this book is grounded in real, hands-on knowledge, gained every day in practice. Back pain, sciatica, neck pain: it can sometimes be genuinely hard to find your way through the options on offer and complicated explanations. Here, the opposite happens: everything becomes clear. Through the simple, powerful idea of comparing the spine to a bicycle chain, you will discover how your back really works: when it flows well, everything is smooth; when it seizes up, the problems begin. Through these pages you will understand:
  • why pain arises
  • when it’s really necessary to intervene
  • what you can do every day to feel better
No unnecessary jargon, no miraculous promises. Just one essential thing: understanding in order to take care of yourself. Because when you understand your spine, you truly begin to protect it.
