NOV 2 Tiger Woods' Seventh Back Surgery: A Cautionary Tale of Modern Medicine's Surgical Dilemma HR 1

03 Nov 2025

Description

Tiger Woods’ recent lumbar disk replacement surgery marks his seventh back procedure, raisingquestions about the overreliance on surgical interventions in modern medicine. Despite access to top-tier care, Woods’ journey highlights a troubling trend: unnecessary surgeries driven by imaging results and financial incentives. With 80% of spine clinic patients not needing surgery, experts advocate for a shift toward conservative treatments like regenerative medicine and multidisciplinary care. Woods’ story is a stark reminder that surgery should be the last resort, not the first.Dr. Adam Brockman answers caller questions
