Mission Statement
HERNIATED-DISC-PAIN.ORG is a place where disc pain patients can find a sense of community and share their stories. The articles on the site are written from a patient’s point of view, since they are written by a real patient, Sensei Adam Rostocki. The writing is not designed to confuse with technical medical jargon, but rather, to facilitate understanding of the basic concepts of back pain by all patients. HERNIATED-DISC-PAIN.ORG is written to allow back pain patients to learn more about their painful disc conditions. The site is written in simple, non-technical language that is easy to comprehend. You do not have to be a doctor to appreciate the articles on this site. Most importantly, the writing comes from a place of empathy for shared pain and struggles, since Sensei knows what it is like to endure the trials of chronic back pain. HERNIATED-DISC-PAIN.ORG is written to provide the reader with an alternative to the “usual” medical sites on herniated disc pain. Many internet sites are run by doctors or companies that endorse a particular product, service, or treatment. This site is designed to liberate the patient from the corporate and professional monopoly on quality herniated disc information. HERNIATED-DISC-PAIN.ORG is directed towards the back pain patient as its core audience. This site is not designed to diagnose, treat or cure any disease or condition. This site does not qualify as professional medical advice. This site is certainly not designed to replace the relationship between doctor and patient. HERNIATED-DISC-PAIN.ORG is the work of one editor, Sensei Adam Rostocki. All content is written by Sensei Rostocki, unless otherwise credited. The content of this site is original and based upon the research and experiences of Sensei Rostocki. This site also contains references to interviews with back pain patients and health professionals. These interviews were conducted by Sensei Rostocki and were given freely and for no compensation. This site does not endorse or recommend any particular treatment option for any specific back pain condition. All pages are current and newsworthy when published. Pages are updated as new information becomes available. All pages contain the date that they were originally published, as well as the date of last revision. Please enjoy HERNIATED-DISC-PAIN.ORG and visit often. Remember, this site is dedicated to YOU, the patient. The latest updates can always be found on the site blog and we do offer a free newsletter as well.
