Most Back Pain Doesn’t Need Surgery: The Torre Prime Guide to Real Recovery, Real Strength, and Real Longevity
Why therapy, precision-based exercise, and Stuart McGill–style spine science outperform quick fixes.
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical care. It’s also one of the most over-treated and poorly treated conditions in the modern medical system.
