The editorial team checks every Living With Back Pain article against its sources
This page explains how an article gets from a topic to the page you read, and where the limits are.
The team starts from published sources and never from memory
For each topic we collect public pages from national health services, orthopedic societies and peer-reviewed review articles. The article may state only what those sources state. Where sources disagree or say little, the article says so or leaves the point out.
Drafting uses AI writing software and automated checks
Drafts are written with AI software working only from the collected sources. Software then compares each factual claim with the source it cites, compares the wording with older versions of the page so nothing is copied, and rejects drafts that give advice a clinician should give. A draft that fails these checks is not published.
Every article shows its sources and its dates
Numbers in the text point to a source list at the end of the page. Each page shows the date it was published and the month its sources were last checked.
The site names no doctors because no doctor writes it
The authors are an editorial team. We do not invent clinicians, credentials, patient stories or reviews. If a page ever carries a named clinical reviewer, the page will say who and what they reviewed.
The pages teach and never treat
Articles cannot diagnose a condition or choose a treatment for you. Each one flags the signs that need urgent care and says to talk with a licensed clinician about your own situation.
