A spinal disc can slip on the drop of a dime, whether it’s from an unexpected fall or heavy lifting. More often than not, however, herniated discs are not the problem. The root of the issue is in the spine’s structure. Unaware of this fact, many people turn to surgeons for help, who then scrape off the bulging part of the disc to stop it from irritating the nerve(s). Unfortunately that doesn’t fix the problem. This quick patchwork is the reason behind 50-90% of back surgery failures. Within five years, it’s likely that the same patchwork will need to be repeated!¹

People seek this invasive medical treatment because they are desperately seeking relief from their suffering. At times, the pain is so debilitating that many feel the only solution is to cut. Yet surgery is not the answer, especially considering that the majority of back surgeries fail.² Sadly, back pain reoccurrence after surgery is so common that it’s been termed Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS). It often entails chronic pain, sleeplessness, anxiety, depression, and de-conditioning.³ Additionally, it also increases one’s risk for developing peripheral artery disease, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders. These helpless patients are left with a further damaged spine, more pain, less money, and the original unresolved problem. Most devastating of all, if not properly addressed, disc herniations prevent people from doing the things they enjoy with those they love.

Too many people in herniated disc agony learn about it the hard way after the suffering has already begun. At that point, the answer is not surgery, but to address the misalignment and the cause of herniation.
