Experiencing back pain or sciatica? Don't waste time on ineffective treatments and false promises.

If you've developed back pain, the 'treatments' available are so numerous, it can be hugely confusing as a patient to know which ones to pursue. Sadly, many treatments which claim to help back pain lack any research to support their effectiveness. There is no magic bullet or quick fixes for back pain, and most episodes resolve by themselves over time and require minimal treatment from a professional. Any treatment (often in the form of 'treatment packages') or anyone that makes BIG promises  (often with a hefty price tag) are likely to be mis-informed at best and dishonest at worst.
