Almost everyone suffers from back pain and neck pain at some point in life. In an effort to find relief, people turn to a wide variety of treatments, and to doctors who will prescribe medications such as painkillers and muscle relaxers. What they don't realize is that many of these treatments -- especially some medications -- actually interfere with the body's own ability to heal and overcome pain. When these treatments fail to help, they desperately conclude that surgery is their only option for relief. They often think their condition is worse than it is and that they have no hope for relief; when if fact quite the opposite is the case.
