About
"Some physicians may oversimplify the cause of a patient’s pain. However, pain is rarely ever that straightforward. This is why patients may still suffer from back pain even after having a herniated disc surgically removed. In truth, the body’s musculoskeletal system is very complex and is constantly adjusting itself to provide stability and function. Often, the area that is painful is not the root problem. Imagine two individuals carrying a heavy object. If one should drop the object, it will be the other person who suffers when trying to compensate. Likewise, if your pelvis is dysfunctional, it will be your lower back, hips, and knees that hurt as they try to compensate.
