95% OF LOW BACK PAIN PATIENTS ARE MISDIAGNOSED
OR NOT DIAGNOSED AT ALL
See why our unique KES Method at Award Winning Plato Health Clinics in Dubai can help you.
WHY MOST BACK PAIN
TREATMENTS FAIL
Because most people never receive a clear diagnosis of what’s actually causing their pain.
Did you know:
- Over 90–95% of low back pain is classified as “non-specific”, meaning no clear mechanical cause is identified
- MRI findings correlate poorly with pain — severe pain can exist with “normal” scans, while pain-free people often show degeneration
- Up to 60% of patients experience recurrence, often because the underlying cause was never identified
- Exercises and strengthening programs can worsen pain when the wrong structure is targeted
If you are among the 95% of low back pain patients who were told any of the following, you were given a label — not a diagnosis.
These terms describe symptoms or patterns — not the underlying cause of pain. Without a cause, treatment becomes trial and error.
A proper biomechanical diagnosis defines the pain pattern and trigger, exact location and side, the mechanical source, inflammatory contributors, other medical factors, and all anatomical structures involved — so the cause can actually be treated.
WHY THIS HAPPENS
Most people first consult their GP for low back pain. GPs are extensively trained in pathophysiology — including organs, disease, infection, inflammation, and medication management. They are not trained to perform detailed biomechanical diagnosis.
Identifying the cause of back pain requires analysing how joints, muscles, nerves, and movement patterns interact under load — a skill set outside standard GP training.
- Joint dysfunction
- Muscle imbalance
- Nerve irritation
- Soft tissue restrictions
- Faulty movement patterns
As a result, many patients are left without a clear cause for their pain — or receive labels like “non-specific low back pain” that describe symptoms, not causes.
WHY PAIN OFTEN GETS WORSE
Not because nothing was done — but because pain is often treated where the
nervous system reacts — not where the biomechanical problem actually originates.
LOW BACK PAIN HAS
MORE THAN 200 CAUSES
And it almost never has a single cause. Your spine works as a biomechanical system where joints, muscles, nerves, movement, and load all influence each other.
If even one component is missed, the diagnosis is wrong and the treatment fails.
WHEN THE REAL CAUSE IS MISSED,
THE PROBLEM GETS WORSE
Your spine is not just a stack of bones.
It is the main pathway connecting your brain to your muscles, movement, and sensation.
When the real cause of back pain is missed, abnormal stress and nerve irritation don’t stay local — they affect how your whole body functions.
But even with a correct diagnosis, treatment fails if it doesn’t address all contributing parts together.
Modern healthcare splits the body into parts — but low back pain doesn’t work that way.
THE BIGGEST ISSUE IN LOW BACK PAIN CARE
Most healthcare professions are not trained to fully diagnose the biomechanical causes of low back pain — and none treat all contributing components together in one integrated clinical approach.
THE KES METHOD
An award‑winning, fully integrated biomechanical system — unique worldwide
The KES Diagnostic and Treatment Method was developed by Dr. Wim Kes.
Dr. Wim Kes has a unique background. He is one of the few clinicians worldwide who has been formally trained across all key biomechanical disciplines involved in low back pain.
Because he understands how joints, muscles, nerves, soft tissue, movement, and load work together as one system, he identified a fundamental problem in low back pain care: diagnosis and treatment are fragmented — while the problem never is.
To address this, Dr. Kes developed a single diagnostic and treatment method designed to identify and correct the entire biomechanical cause, rather than isolated symptoms or structures.
Over more than 30 years of clinical practice, the KES Method has been refined through complex cases where conventional approaches failed, leading to international recognition, multiple awards, and consistently high patient outcomes.
This is why the KES Method is internationally recognised — and why Plato Health Clinics are known for solving complex low back pain cases others cannot.
- Chiropractic
- Physiotherapy
- Movement & physical education
- Soft tissue therapy
- Sports injury rehabilitation
- Postural assessment and re‑education
THE 6 ELEMENTS OF THE KES METHOD
The KES Method is built around six interconnected biomechanical elements that must be diagnosed and treated together.
- 1. Joints & Bones
- 2. Muscles
- 3. Nerves
- 4. Soft Tissue (tendons, ligaments, etc)
- 5. Movement & Control (how your entire system functions together)
- 6. Posture, sleep, ergonomics and daily stress on the body
REAL PATIENT OUTCOMES
‘After years of low back pain the team at Plato solved it in just 3 sessions. They used a technique I have never experienced elsewhere. So happy that I am pain free after many years!'
‘Two surgeons told me I needed back surgery. Dr. Wim discovered that my pain was coming from a joint in my lower back, not my disc. I’m now pain-free without surgery’
‘After years of physio and other doctors, my radiologist said everything was fine. They missed that my pain was coming from my pelvic joint. At Plato I finally got a proper assessment, and after just four treatments I was pain-free’
HOW THE KES METHOD WORKS
Your Treatment Journey
Your first visit includes a comprehensive diagnostic intake combining multiple clinical disciplines:
- A full medical history, including targeted biomechanical questions
- Orthopedic testing
- Neurological testing
- Chiropractic testing
- Full movement & posture analysis
- Review of MRI/scan findings (if applicable)
- Multi-angle KES biomechanical mapping (the key differentiator)
This allows us to identify what is actually causing your pain — often missed by others.
Patients often say: “No one has ever examined me this thoroughly.”
In this step we will give you a full diagnosis and prognosis.
We explain:
- What your real diagnosis is
- Which structures are involved – and how they interact
- Why your pain developed
- Whether there are complicating factors
- What needs to be corrected
- How long recovery is expected to take
- What results you can realistically expect
After this step, you know exactly what is wrong, what can be fixed, and what the road ahead looks like — before treatment starts.
At Plato Health Clinics, we do not sell treatment packages or endless repeat visits.
We treat the problem effectively and honestly.
No guessing. No vague labels. No unnecessary treatments.
Just clarity and a fully integrated treatment approach.
Treatment focuses on correcting all contributing biomechanical factors — working together, not in isolation. Depending on your diagnosis, this may include:
- Joint corrections
- Muscle activation & release
- Nerve decompression
- Movement retraining
- Postural re-education
- Ergonomic & load correction
- Progress checks & re-testing
Patients improve because all causes, not just symptoms, are treated.
