I am an orthopedic spine surgeon who has been performing complex spine surgery since 1986. It is my observation that most spine surgery should never be performed. A significant part of my practice is helping patients out of a deep hole caused by multiple failed spine surgeries. I have learned that the central nervous system is the key player in the development of chronic pain. Unless it is addressed further surgeries seldom are successful. This book is my own story out of chronic pain. A treatment paradigm has evolved from my personal experience as well as learning from my patients. My goal for my patients is not just learning to live with pain or manage it. It is now becoming pain free. I have watched this occur in hundreds of patients. This book will allow you to regain control of your care and your life. Enjoy the journey. An overview of the project can be looked at in detail at www.backincontrol.com.
