Caring for your Spine


Commitment and Compliance

Recovery from back pain requires both a commitment to do what has been recommended and compliance with those recommendations from the specialist. The true definition of compliance is the act or process of following through with a desire, demand, proposal, or regimen. A committed person who understands their condition and the reasons for doing the recommended activities is more likely to be compliant. Some physicans will refuse to care for a person who has demonstrated a lack of compliance with their recommendations.
