Breakthrough chronic back pain

Eighty percent of Dutch people are ever bothered by back pain and ninety percent of them do not know what the cause is.

Movement scientist Jan Willem Elkhuizen and orthopedic surgeon Menno Iprenburg investigated. They discovered two characteristics of intervertebral discs that have not been described before. It also became clear how the first damage occurs and how this can lead to lumbago, chronic back pain and a hernia.

A breakthrough because the relationship between the various complaints is explained for the first time.
