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.

While controversial, John Sarno’s MindBody Syndrome theory was true for me. Treating a mind problem by doing surgery isn’t very effective. I’m not sure why there is so much resistance to this theory. I’m an engineer, and it makes perfect sense to me. I had debilitating back problems and now I have none. Now about once a year my back will start to “go out”, but I can usually stop it quickly and even play golf.
