For instance in the US we perform more back surgeries than any industrialized nation by a huge amount. Do we have better outcomes? Not at all. We also love to prescribe blood thinners. What works better. Walking 15-30 minutes/day.

I'm certainly with you on the activity side of the ledger. And I can tell you that I do barbell deadlifts for my herniated discs.
