The newsmax web site has published comments from surgeons Ziya Gokaslan, MD and Lee Hunter Riley III, MD who are authors of “The back book”. The two doctors, who are also leaders in the field of back surgery have suggested 8 ways to prevent back pain.

Listed in these 8 methods is the idea of taking preventative anti-inflammatory drugs for known back pain sufferers who are about to do undertake strenuous activity rather than waiting until the pain occurs.

Also on this page is a short video entitled “better surgery heals back pain”. You may need to scroll through the list of videos to find it and sit through a 10 second advert for Florida orange juice, but it is worth a look.

Although most readers of this newsletter don’t do surgery themselves, it is still a good idea to be familiar with the techniques surgeons use to treat back pain.
