A retired physical therapist in Orange, California, Grace Walker has doctorates in both physical therapy and occupational therapy. Grace Walker is the author of Bye-Bye Back Pain: 9 Holistic Solutions for Relief from Sciatica, Lumbago, Slipped Disc, and Backaches.
Beyond the nine pain and symptom relief solutions that the book offers, Bye-Bye Back Pain presents 11 common misconceptions about back pain, beginning with the notion that “pain is your enemy.” In reality, pain is an important bodily warning system that alerts your brain to important health concerns. Other misconceptions involving back pain include the commonly held beliefs that medication and surgery are the only ways to address back pain. In truth, patients who take painkillers only mask ongoing deterioration, and patients should only turn to surgery as a last resort after physical therapy fails to yield the necessary results. Bye-Bye Back Pain also addresses misconceptions regarding medical imagery such as x-rays and MRIs. While they can readily display bulging discs or other physical anomalies, medical images are far less effective at diagnosing true causes of pain.
