Do common treatments for back pain actually WORK?

Did you know almost every person on this planet will suffer from back pain at some point in their lives?  And here’s another other unsettling fact:  there’s NO good evidence for many common treatments that millions of people undergo.    And yet a huge amount of research has been done in this field and billions of dollars spent on therapies. What are these treatments?  Why do people get them?  What actually does work? Is it time for a revolution in the way we approach back pain?Jason Busse who’s an expert on chronic pain gives us the latest evidence.  GUEST INFO:Jason Busse is a Canada Research Chair in the Prevention and Management of Chronic Pain.  He’s also a professor in anaesthesia in the Dept. of Health Sciences at McMaster University.  https://experts.mcmaster.ca/display/bussejwWe’d really appreciate your support!  Please rate our podcast and subscribe and follow us on social @CRAMideas.  Support the CRAM Podcast!Research shapes our lives, yet so much of it doesn’t reach the public.
