Do you really need to strengthen your core for low back pain?

.

Why does every physical therapist and chiropractor tell you to strengthen your core, brace your core, and work on core stabilization for low back pain?

.

Is it really as important as everyone makes it seem? Are you doomed to live a life of chronic low back pain if you don't do a million dead bugs and bird dogs every day for your core strength? Is DNS (dynamic neuromuscular stabilization) really so important?

.

Or have therapists just found another magic bullet scapegoat to blame everything on instead of embracing the complexity and multifactorial nature of low back pain?
