Helping Yourself With Back Pain

As promised, today I will be sharing with you Why Your Back Pain cannot be treated where you are feeling your pain.

To Help yourself  to treat your own Back,you first have to know Where to start and what Causes it.

The normal approach to Back pain is to go directly onto the painful area in the back and   manipulate or adjust or mobilize your spine Where you are feeling the pain.

Now this approach can help to decrease the Pain and the inflammation for a short time only.

What You as a Smart consumer of health services need to be asking is Why! And wait for the explanation from the treating therapist. See if it makes sense, also ask them “ what has caused my Back to become painful” Or the Disc to be herniated. This is a very interesting exercise.

If they cannot answer you to your satisfaction then I would suggest that you do not  spend any more of your health dollars with them.

The accepted and taught  approach used by Physiotherapists and Chiropractors is akin to having a car with tyres that keep prematurely wearing and you keep changing the tyres and then in a few months they are worn again.

This in no way to treat your car let alone your Back.

What of course needs to happen is you need to get the alignment checked on your car.

In you and I the alignment becomes distorted due to the Huge forces put upon the spine via the Postural muscles.

The Soaz muscles are the Huge postural muscles that attach directly onto your spine, and are capable of exerting a total of 100kg of force onto the spine on a daily basis. This force can result in pressure onto the discs, shearing of the vertebra and crumpling the spine.

Low Back Pain is a result of these forces acting on the spine over time.

In the next installment I will be talking about the various syndromes and presentations that are typical of people who suffer with Low Back Pain. However……

I will explain to you WHY these presentations come about and How You can treat your Own Back.

Truth In Treatment.
