Idiopathic Back Pain

Idiopathic back pain is a diagnosis that acknowledges the existence of real pain, yet does not identify a particular cause. Basically, this means that the patient is suffering, but the doctor has no idea why. There is no apparent physical cause for the symptoms and medical science still does not accept a psychological cause for back pain. Therefore, the patient is left with NO DIAGNOSIS.


Idiopathic Back Pain


Idiopathic Back Pain Diagnosis

Some patients display horrible back pain, but there is no apparent cause for the symptoms. This type of idiopathic pain is rare, since doctors are so proficient at finding some cause on which to blame the pain. Patients that receive this diagnosis originally are very lucky. At least they do not have to waste time and money pursuing treatments for some incorrectly diagnosed scapegoat condition.

Idiopathic pain is also a common diagnosis for patients that have not responded to traditional treatments. Most of these patients originally received a confirmed diagnosis of pain caused by a particular physical cause. After several unsuccessful treatment options, the cause of the pain is often referred to as idiopathic. This is another way of a doctor saying…”OOOPS, I GOT IT WRONG, SORRY…” This is a common example of how most back pain is misdiagnosed and blamed on some innocent and coincidental scapegoat condition.

Idiopathic Back Pain Treatment

Ok, so there is no diagnosis, so one would think there is nothing to treat. HOWEVER, treatment is almost always offered, regardless of finding no physical defect or injury. This most common variety of treatment for this type of non-specific pain is symptomatic relief. Drugs are the usual form of pain management for these patients. Well, once they develop side effects or addictions from these powerful drugs, at least the patient WILL finally have a diagnosable condition…Drug Dependency.

Recommendation on Idiopathic Back Pain

Idiopathic almost always indicates a psychological cause for the pain. The majority of all back pain is psychosomatic and those patients that do not show any clear cut physical reasons for the pain are even more likely to suffer from this epidemic misery. Knowledge therapy is the one method that does not require a definite diagnosis in order to cure the pain. In fact, knowledge therapy repudiates the majority of diagnoses of the tens of thousands of patients cured every year. It is a simple fact. Diagnosed or Idiopathic is irrelevant. If the pain is truly psychogenic, not physical, any medical treatment is bound to fail. Knowledge therapy at least has a fighting chance of success.
