Unlock the secrets to a pain-free life - recent research reveals that retraining your brain is the key to saying goodbye to chronic back pain without surgery.
But is life without pain possible? Even if you have an x-ray or MRI that says the only fix is surgical?
Here's a revelation: MRI studies on people without back pain consistently reveal a significant percentage with disc issues but zero pain. This challenges the idea that disc issues are always correlated with pain.
And I know this goes against what most of us have been told about back pain — which is precisely why I recorded this episode.
There is an increasing amount of data and research that has found decreases in pain with mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques but it seems that information has yet to reach orthopedic surgeons in practice.
So if you believe that life without pain is possible, but you’re not quite sure how to get there — today’s episode is for you!
