Surgery Outcome for Lower Back Pain
A recent study (as of 9/2016) found most back surgeries to be ineffective.
The results, based on patient data from 38,270 treatment reviews and ratings, reveal that 83% of the patients are still in pain years after surgery.
Patients rated the outcome of four types of back surgeries for lower back pain lower than most other treatments, with an average rating of 1.8 out of 5.
The study also shows that having one back surgery leads to more surgeries, as 54% of patients had two or more back surgeries. And more surgeries led to a higher likelihood of being in pain.
After being introduced to the Gokhale Method in a free, introductory session followed by a Foundation Course in 2013, I have not experienced any back pain. Also, pain in my right knee and foot has disappeared as my posture improved. Now I enjoy regular 3-mile walks focusing on "glide walking" which is both physically and mentally invigorating.

About us
Health Outcome is the first platform for patients to rate and review their treatment experiences and help find treatments that cure.
Although there are 51 million surgeries conducted in the U.S. annually, there is no meaningful data on medical treatments or surgery outcomes available to patients or physicians. We are actively addressing this void of outcome data with a platform built to capture the voice of the patient.
