I teach back pain recovery. You should hear the stories of people who have had failed back surgery. And not just the stories. Just the way they talk. They can barely form a sentence. Surgery is generally just another tool of the ‘medical establishment’. Treating mind-body problems as purely physical problems that can be corrected by food, pills, vaccines, surgeries. Well, they can’t. Pain will exist until the appropriate change in the mind has been made, surgery or no.
