Golfing great Tiger Woods withdrew from another tournament still suffering with his bad back despite having spine surgery last year. Hundreds of thousands have back surgery for “bad discs” and like Tiger many are never the same. This poses the question: If bad discs are the cause of pain, why do many still hurt after disc surgery?

Conversely, research at the Mayo Clinic recently found there are people with bad discs who have no pain at all, a concept that began 25 years ago with MRI research by Scott Boden, M.D., director of the Spine Center at Emory University. He found bad discs in pain-free people confirming early suspicions that herniated, bulging or degenerated discs were “coincidental” and not the holy grail of back pain causation.
