Millions of people struggling with back pain and fail to get lasting relief and the main reason is lack of knowledge and understanding of back pain.
In our work with more than 20000 back pain sufferers here at the healthy back Institute, we have identified several issues that are common among almost all, back pain sufferers. Unfortunately, too many And, these people continue to struggle with back pain because their questions never get answered, or they get the wrong information.
This article is intended to educate and inform someone suffering from back pain by responding to these common questions and by providing specific recommendations and actions to take.
Question # 1 is my overweight causes my back pain?
While the excess body weight is a factor, there are normally not sufficient to create a condition that would cause back pain.Excess body weight in the form of excess body fat can exacerbate an already existing conditions and can also make it more difficult to restore.
It is also important to understand that it is very likely that your muscles are balances if you are overweight. When your muscles are out of balance, it will force your body work and move in unequally and this places uneven pressure, ordinary wear and tear on your body.And it is this process that is responsible for creating some conditions or physical dysfunctions that cause pain; most people are unfortunately not even aware when this happens to their body.
Action:
Worry so much about your weight right now.First focus on eliminating your back pain by identifying the muscle imbalances that throw your body out of balance and work to improve and correct the errors.Then, when your back feel better, you can focus more on losing weight.
Question # 2-I've tried everything but nothing has worked, what should I do?
First is, while it may seem as if you have exhausted all possible treatment, it is unlikely that you have tried everything.So if you have not given up and plan to live the rest of your life in pain, you need to take a decision to be open-minded and continue to discover and experiment with other available treatment options, But before you try other treatments, it is important that you understand why you tried already has not worked.
The reason why almost all treatments that back pain fails to deliver long-term relief is that they deal with only the symptoms and do not address the real underlying cause; for example, let us talk about back surgery when you remove a bit of a herniated disc can, if you are lucky, reduce or eliminate your pain, is it not to deal with what caused this disc herniate primarily.
In fact, a study published in the June 2004 issue of the spine, an international journal for the study of the back, that 40% of people who underwent back surgery had no reduction of their pain, even if their doctor/surgeon had assured them of the results.
So durable that you can gain long-term, exemption, you must identify and treat the underlying cause of your pain.
Action:
Identify the underlying cause of your pain by identifying the muscle imbalances, create your physical dysfunctions and conditions; ensure that any treatment you are given or perform addresses both symptoms (and pain) and cause (muscle imbalances and dysfunctions). Question # 3-my doctor not to exercise, what should I do?
Find a new doctor.For many research studies have shown that people with back pain that avoid exercise and activities, ultimately suffer longer and are more difficult to get relief.
While you may need to rest a few days initially to let things down, after that you get better results by staying active, because by continuing to move you keep your blood circulating and your muscles active, which will prevent them from getting weaker.
But it is not enough.
Although staying active can help; it is not enough to get rid of the underlying cause of the pain; to do so, you need to identify and treat your imbalances and dysfunctions.
And the generic exercises to almost any back pain sufferer receive from their professional care, may or may not help ...It can also worsen the condition, And why are these exercises do not treat the specific muscle imbalances and dysfunctions which are responsible for their pain.
Action:
If your doctor or healthcare professional has not taken the time to educate about the effect of muscular imbalances and the need to carry out targeted and specific, corrective exercises and stretches, is it time to look elsewhere.
Unfortunately, the number of health professionals who are educated and trained in the art of identifying and correcting muscle imbalances is small, and to find a can often be difficult, if you have problems to find someone in your area, feel free to contact us here at the healthy back Institute by calling 800-216-4908 and we'll do our best to help you.
