I'm currently reading a book called "Back Mechanic" that makes a similar argument. Primarily that most back surgeries for pain are unnecessary and caused by MRI scans not being useful for diagnosis and the prevailing medical opinion is that they are. The book places a lot of emphasis on moving in a way that prevents injury, which is why I said the previous thing.
