1. Herniated Disc Surgery
Herniated disc surgery is one of the most common procedures… and also one of the most rushed.
There are cases in which surgery is essential: when there is severe compression of a nerve root, significant loss of strength, neurological disorders, or involvement of pelvic organs. In these scenarios, surgery may be the best option.
However, in most patients, chronic lower back pain does not originate in the disc, but rather in an overall imbalance of the body. The lumbar region is often a victim, not the primary cause.
I have seen patients with decades of pain improve without surgery by correcting:
Pelvic mobility
Hip alignment
Ligament strains
Persistent muscle stiffness
