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.

Short answer: Your back is connected to everything else in your body directly.
**Meaning, you cannot isolate it like an arm, leg, hand, foot, or even your head & neck. So unless you literally spend weeks in bed or in some sci-fi fluid suspension tank, you cannot give your back the time to rest, relax & heal like you can a sprained wrist or ankle, or even an broken limb.
