Aug 13 2013

Based on the neuroscience of pain, BackPainSchool.com gives visitors an accurate, evidence-based understanding of the nature, treatment, and prevention of low back pain.

“Our singular purpose is to help people take control of their recovery from low back pain”

"Taking an active role in their own health care is only possible if people have accurate knowledge about what is happening in their body," says Dr. Logue. "We believe it is our responsibility to give everyone this insider knowledge."

Over the past decade, there have been significant advances in the medical understanding of low back pain. Unfortunately, most of this new treatment information has not filtered down to those who suffer from back pain and many of the health professionals that treat them. This lack of knowledge has resulted in preventable suffering and unnecessary visits to the doctor.

"Our singular purpose is to help people take control of their recovery from low back pain," explains Dr. Logue. "Whether they have just developed low back pain recently or have been struggling with ongoing pain for years, everyone can learn the secrets to improving their low back pain."

Studies such as the one conducted by the Clinical Journal of Pain show that close to 85% of the population suffers from at least one episode of back pain at some point in their lives.

"For those suffering from back pain, BackPainSchool.com has the potential to positively impact their life," says Dr. Nic Lucas, Co-Editor of the International Journal of Osteopathic Medicine and Director of Influence Faculty. "It provides tools that help people take control of their pain experience. It's like having their very own pain educator in their pocket."

First-time visitors to BackPainSchool.com can take a short initial survey to discover how likely their lower back pain will turn into an ongoing problem. The survey, developed by a team of experts from Keele University in the U.K., is the first step toward conquering lower back pain.

Once the visitor's risk of ongoing back pain has been assessed through the survey, they are given access to the first part of the Self Treatment Guide to Low Back Pain.
