Did you know that about 2/3 of people who have never suffered from serious back pain have the same kinds of ‘abnormal’ back structures that are often blamed for chronic back pain, and that many people continue to have pain after ‘successful’ surgery? Fear is a major factor in continuing the pain cycle when there are no structural problems.
