Why are back problems so notorious for being difficult to treat/cure?

Seems fairly rare to hear of someone having a knee, etc that bothers them for years provided it’s been properly treated. But hear about “bad backs” that people fight for decades.

Far from an expert whatsoever, just my experience…dealt with general severity back-pain on and off until my early 30s, it was only when I started doing 3 things that it went away 1) began weight-lifting; our bodies are not designed perfectly, we skew our weight-loads overtime, by engaging in an intense and progressive weight-training regime I was able to balance how my body carried stress 2) targeted therapy; towards my feet and legs. Doing long steady measured calf-stretches and ham-string stretches and massaging the arches of my feet significantly reduced hip and back-pain 3) regular meditation; by practicing tuning into my own body and also relaxing my muscles/joints I let go of a lot of unnecessary baggage I was carrying. Meditation also helped me to breathe through the trauma when new stress arose.
