Widespread Confusion Regarding Back Surgery
Medical literature offers this statement regarding the cause of lower back pain: “Even with today’s technology, the exact cause of low back pain can be found in very few cases.” This statement is largely untrue and reflects the widespread confusion regarding the cause of lower back pain in the conventional medical world. The reason for this confusion lies in the non-holistic approach medicine has adopted during the last hundred years. The body is no longer viewed as a whole but rather as an assembly of individual parts. This non-holistic view, combined with the rise of technological advancements, has led to extreme specialization in medicine. While current technologies have provided countless advancements to back surgery, they have done little to ease the pain of millions of lower back pain sufferers.
