What is it about?
Providers and policy-makers misinterpret the psychosocial problems of back pain as a dense impenetrable multifactorial medical mystery. Actually, the solution is quite simple: authoritative support of gradual exercise during recovery is the "cure.". Probably most alternative medicine successes are reducing fear while recovering. This fact in spite of grand claims of spiritual and energy and exotic diagnosis systems and explanations that require long treatment programs. Edifices to mysteries of healing include an endowed chair at RAND Corporation from believers.

Why is it important?
Costs of musculoskeletal care are exorbitant and unnecessary and may be a major reason for medical inflation and such a large expenditure and low quality.
Perspectives
I propose a new methodology that will set aside natural history and placebo effect - and offer natural recovery without the medical babble that obfuscates it.
