Doctor Warns Against Quick Fixes for Lower Back Pain

Lower Back Pain: Treating the Root Cause, Not Just the Symptoms A recent video by Russian neurologist Dr. Peshok highlights a common misconception about lower back pain treatment. Many people seek quick fixes like pain relievers, but Dr. Peshok emphasizes the importance of identifying and addressing the underlying structural issue. "You will only be eliminating the symptom," he states in the video, "but things like herniated discs, protrusions, and inflammation will remain." He uses the analogy of treating a fever without addressing the underlying infection. Dr. Peshok advocates for MRI scans and professional neurological consultations to properly diagnose and treat the problem. He also promotes his own services, offering both online and in-person appointments in Moscow. This video serves as a reminder to seek professional medical help for persistent back pain and not rely on quick fixes that may mask more serious conditions.
