It's horrible what some people are put through just because they have low back pain. Hot lamps and days of traction combined with pain killers and muscle relaxers that can make you dizzy. If that doesn't work there is always surgery which often fails leading to more surgery.

Did you know that surgery fails 50% of the time in the first year? The failure rate increases as the years go by. Your pain doesn't go away and your life becomes centered around your pain. Why does this happen to so many of us?

Here is what happens to cause your back pain, in most cases.

The disc between the bones of the spine pushes out and presses on the nerve. When that happens it sends pain down to the hip and leg.

 But wait... My doctor said it was just a sprained muscle, facet syndrome, torn ligament, etc., etc....

Let me let you in on a little secret. We can map the human genome, do engineering on a molecular scale, but we still can't agree on what causes low back pain. That's right, it's "controversial."

I go with the latest and what I think is the best research in the world that says a torn disc causes back pain, a bulging disc causes pain to go down the leg and "facet syndrome" can't happen without disc damage.

With our treatment you heal the disc and the pain goes away. Our treatment consists of education, conservative therapies and guidance. No drugs or surgery.

Yes! That makes LOTS more sense!!

It's not the whole story though. If you want to understand the bigger picture keep reading.

  

The disc is at the heart of almost all mechanical low back pain meaning pain not caused by some visceral disease. Other causes of Low Back Pain are joint capsules (the tissue surrounding the joint) Muscles, Tendons and Ligaments. Research shows that joint capsules are rarely the cause of pain and most medical doctors misdiagnose disc and muscle problems as facets syndrome. Muscles, Tendons and Ligaments are more often than not the problem. If you don't treat all the causes of pain, you end up with pain. You might feel good for a while but in the end your pain comes back.
