Back Doctor

back doctor A back doctor is a general term for any type of doctor or alternative care provider who specializes in either back pain or any of the conditions that are thought to commonly cause back pain. Medical doctors generally believe that almost all back pain comes from a physical or environmental cause. Medical science has progressed in leaps and bounds in some areas of back pain treatment, yet is still lost in the dark when it comes to other facets of this epidemic condition.

Types of Back Doctor

There are many medical professionals that qualify as back pain specialists. The anatomy of the back involves bone, muscles, ligaments and nerves. The diversity of tissue creates the need for individual specialists for each area of function and dysfunction. The following is a list of some of the most common types of back pain doctors:

* Spine Doctor

* Spine Surgeon

* Physiatrist

* Physical Therapist

* Osteopath

* Neurologist

* Neurosurgeon

* Orthopedist

* Orthopedic Surgeon

* Choosing a Back Surgeon

* Pain Specialist

* Back Specialists

* Rheumatologist

* Acupuncturist

* Chiropractor

* Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine

* Massage Therapists


Medicine's Dark Secret

Medical science has fought a valiant but losing battle against back ache for the past 50 years. Despite huge improvements in knowledge and technology, there are more patients with unresolved back pain now than ever before. Statistically, a patient with chronic back pain that lasts more than a few months has a very low chance of EVER finding true relief. What exactly constitutes true relief? A real cure for back pain is defined as a permanent end to the pain and suffering. Most back pain treatments either have a temporary effect or create the start of a pain syndrome in some other area of the spine. There are more patients entering into long term treatment regimens every year than recovering. This sad statistic has created an army of disabled, partially disabled and dysfunctional patients with little hope for a real end to their tormenting back pain.

Recommendation on a Back Doctor

Medicine is society’s greatest achievement. I am a big fan of doctors and medical science. I give a tremendous amount of credit to anyone who can work their way through the extensive education required to practice medicine. I acknowledge that some of the greatest minds in the world belong to the elite community of medical doctors. HOWEVER, I am also an open and outspoken critic of medicine’s great failures. In the case of back pain treatment, this failure borders on the criminal…

There are back doctors that perpetuate pain through their ongoing treatment agendas. There are doctors who realize that the pain can not possibly come from the diagnosed source. There are doctors that perform unnecessary spinal surgeries on literally hundreds of thousands of patients every year. The reason for these failures is simple…

Back doctors are products of their education. It has long been denied that back pain or almost any other physical problems CAN NOT be the direct result of a psychological process. This is what doctors are taught, so this is what doctors practice. Meanwhile, irrefutable proof exists that the mind influences the general and specific health of every system in the body. Medicine continues to seek a physical cause for conditions that are often caused or perpetuated by a non-physical process. THIS and ONLY THIS is the #1 reason for the continuation of the aforementioned back pain epidemic. The worst part of it all is that the epidemic continues to grow, while the objectivity of the medical community shrinks day by day…

I would welcome medicine to silence my criticism and in fact, I pray for it every day. The only way I will stop the critique is if I see real progress towards ending the suffering of the millions of back pain patients worldwide. I endured 18 years of pain that was misdiagnosed and mistreated while suffering in silence. Well, for the sake of others now and more to come, my silence is over.
The time for change is now…
