Now, here's a good question: "does education fix people?"

On the surface, you'd think, "how can it?"

Well, the truth as we know it is that education does not fix people entirely, but it is fair to say that people who know more do better.

In clinic, Graeme and Toby spend hours every day explaining the conditions that patients have. 

Why do they do this?

They do this because many people have been told or read incorrect information. Often, it's information that makes them worry about the severity of their condition or perhaps convinces them that there are worrying consequences. 

Once a good clinician puts these facts straight and (more than often) tells a patient that their condition is likely to improve without any serious, future consequences, patients leave the clinic already feeling better!

Relief is powerful medicine, and it comes from knowledge.

That's why BackPain.online is full of education. Our members can learn more about what is causing them their pain, and also recognise what is not wrong!

Patients who know more do better.
