If you have back pain and you are serious about getting rid of it then take the next 5 minutes to watch this video to the end and find out what science says you need to do to get better.

One size doesn't fit everyone: you need to know what's wrong with your back before you can fix it. Permanent relief of your low back pain starts with understanding what's wrong, then following the science to pick the right treatment; that's evidencebased treatment.

There are only 4 common causes of back pain:
inured discs
arthritis facet joints
pinched or inflamed nerve roots
spinal narrowing (stenosis)

How do you know which one is causing your back pain? Follow a 2 steps process. In this video we go over the four common causes of back pain so that you can pick and WRITE DOWN the one that best describes you. Once you have that, you can match the cause of your back pain with the evidencebased treatment that is most likely to give you relief.

Low back pain is among the most challenging problems in clinical medicine. For those looking for help with their chronic low back pain, even if you have failed surgery before, a new device from 3spine may be your best hope yet. Watch this video to the end to learn about a new approach that may be the one to end your complex, chronic back pain.

Back surgery fails when the treatment doesn't fit with the cause. For example, microdiscectomy surgery, in which a small piece of your disc is removed, does not improve the pain from an arthritic facet joint. Sometimes doctors cannot even figure out the exact cause, but patients are left with severe pain. That's a time to consider total spine replacement.

The concept of total spine replacement is similar to that of total knee or total hip replacement. The idea is to get rid of all causes of back pain. Thus, total spine replacement is a "maximalist" approach.
