Back pain is a blessing of evolution!
This new perspective on back pain is the conclusion of the author who has treated over 30,000 back pain patients over the past 20 years.
Back pain, a desperate signal that the spine, the center of our body, is collapsing, can be a blessing or a curse depending on how you interpret it.
The author says that back pain, which 80% of the population experiences at least once in their lifetime, is actually not meant to bother us, but is a very important defense mechanism that heals the discs and stops them from doing bad things.


An accurate interpretation of back pain is the first step to a 100-year back.
All the important interpretations of back pain are contained in this one book.
Therefore, the first volume of Baeknyeonheori, Diagnosis, is a national textbook on back pain that needs no further explanation.
This book adds a more in-depth explanation of spinal stenosis, the life of back pain, radiating pain and disc-related back pain, and how to distinguish between the two, as well as detailed explanations on why back pain is a blessing of evolution, which were not included in the first edition of Baeknyeonheori.
This is a must-read for back pain sufferers, as it clearly informs readers why back pain occurs, what will happen in the future, and how to deal with it.
