An innovative program for the restoration of patients with chronic back pain.
The literature on conventional medical procedures for restoring high-risk patients having chronic low back pain reveals that these procedures are ineffective and may even be iatrogenic. An alternative, noninvasive approach, which takes into consideration the critical role of cognitive and emotional factors, is practiced at Casa Colina Hospital for Rehabilitative Medicine. Details of the approach as well as comments confirming its efficacy are presented.
