Back Surgery Alternatives

Back surgery alternatives are treatments designed to control the symptoms of back pain without the need for surgical correction. Alternatives to back surgery can be good, since they eliminate all the risks of an operation. Alternative treatments can also be bad, since most of them require ongoing care in order for the treatment to remain effective.

Common Back Surgery Alternatives

* Chiropractic

 * Acupuncture

 * Physical Therapy

 * Massage Therapy

 * Electrotherapy

 * Pain Managment Drugs

 * Epidural Injections

 * Spinal Decompression



Decompression therapy offers the most hope for a lasting cure, without ongoing treatments. This modality is highly recommended for patients with verified structural pain conditions.

For more information on the full range of therapy options, see my section titled, BACK PAIN TREATMENTS.

Symptomatic Treatment

Most back surgery alternatives offer symptomatic treatment. This means that the pain and other symptoms associated with a condition are reduced or eliminated. However, these treatments do not do anything to cure the actual problem causing the symptoms. For a condition that only requires time to heal, symptomatic treatment is fine. For a chronic back pain problem, symptomatic treatment might involve a lifetime of continuing care. No one wants to be a slave to a pain treatment. No one wants to incur the cost of a lifetime of care. There is no doubt that the multi-billion dollar back pain industry has driven the development of many long term care strategies. Too bad, (and non-coincidently) that there have been almost no major developments towards a medical back pain cure.

The Alternative to Back Surgery Alternatives

Huh? Yes, there is an alternative to the alternative. Knowledge Therapy works on correcting a pain condition through education. The patient will learn exactly why they have pain and how it is connected to their psychological and emotional health. By understanding and eliminating the psycho-emotional reasons for the pain to exist, the physical symptoms can be cured 100%. This is good medicine and good science and has been proven to work in tens of thousands of chronic pain patients. How do I know? …because it worked for me!!! I am pain free after 18 torturous years of suffering.

I did it…You can too!!!
