In 2015, Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr had surgery to fix a ruptured disk in his low back.
Since, he has fought complications, including missing almost half of the games last year and now, missing games 3 and 4 of the playoff series against the Portland Trailblazers. Unfortunately, he could be out longer depending on how fast he recuperates. “I can tell you if you’re listening out there, if you have a back problem, stay away from surgery,’’ Kerr told reporters. “I can say that from the bottom of my heart. Rehab, rehab, rehab. Don’t let anyone get in there.” While San Ramon Valley Physical Therapy has helped numerous patients recover very well from low back surgery, the key take away from Kerr's message is to make sure you attempt a great rehab program before going under the knife. In the ABC article, Spine Surgeon Dr. Steven Lee at Muir Orthopedics gives a great perspective confirming that a majority of people do not need surgery and low back pain can be solved in many different ways.

A place where the mind will be fixed. Rehab is necessary and must be considered if there are severe cases that are not normal anymore. There may be some differences in their way of thinking, but this will be cured and in time everything will be fine. We just need to have hope and light in our lives. This will lead us to a better condition. We must help each other attain this.
