What is the most common treatment for low back pain?
You got it, pharmaceuticals. Why do we depend on pharmaceuticals in Bremerton & Silverdale at such a high rate? We are a society that wants a quick fix and will do anything to get rid of the pain. We never stop to ask, what is the underlying cause? When a lower back disc wears out, we never get the option of going to the real root of the problem. We are usually just offered drugs and surgery. Here is a simple analogy of taking meds for lower back pain. If your car was squeaking every time you drove, you would stop and take it the mechanic. When you go the mechanic and he told you that he could solve the problem and then turns up the radio and asks you can you hear the squeaking sound now? Sure the squeaking sound is no longer heard, but it doesn't fix anything. Most likely you would not be happy with your mechanic, but we do this every day when we take drugs for chronic pain. We are not fixing anything.
