If you have "chronic" back pain and you've tried a multitude of different therapies and exercises, yet still remain in pain, you're not alone. There's hope!
"Back Pain" is a broad term used to describe a plethora of diverse spine disorders of which
the cause and the antidote
are as unique as the individual experiencing it.
Your back pain isn't a mystery. Let's find the specific cause that is unique to you.
​
"Too many patients believe that performing some exercises will take their pain away, and they simply add them to their daily routine. This is a mistake. The first and most critical stage is to remove the cause of pain."
​
- Dr. Stuart McGill - Low Back Disorders: Evidence-Based Prevention & Rehabilitation
​
The McGill Method is a back pain assessment and treatment approach based on scientific evidence compiled during 40 years of research and experimentation at the University of Waterloo in Canada by Dr. Stuart McGill.
The evidence supports three major caveats to resolving back pain:
1. All back pain has a cause, it isn't arbitrary
2. Removing the cause of pain is essential to recovery
3. "Core" muscular endurance is protective of future back troubles
"The patient must be fully invested in understanding the cause of their pain and practice strategies throughout the day to avoid their pain triggers. Then they must commit to the exercise approaches that suit their conditions."
