Many aspects of diagnosing and treating back pain are controversial in the medical community.

However, one area that the medical community does generally agree on is the role of rehabilitation (physical therapy and back exercise) in helping recover from back pain and preventing or minimizing future recurrences of back pain.

If a pain problem has persisted for many weeks, the body is signaling that there are barriers to the healing process that need to be eliminated. In back pain, exercise and rehabilitation are critical in stimulating the healing process.
