Ten Back Pain lessons.
No One cares about your back pain and sciatica like you do...
In my experience, Back pain and sciatica symptoms can be isolating, frustrating, miserable and downright painful.
You seem to have to be at your most proactive when you feel at your worst.Through out my experience of back pain and pinched sciatic nerve symptoms I learned 10 back pain lessons which eventually helped me to get on the road to recovery. I hope you find them useful.
Be a proactive partner in your backcare.
1. Kill the monster while it's a baby! Or in other words tackle any sciatic or back pain issues when they happen and while they are minor.
2. Ask good back pain/back care questions of the professionals.
3. Learn how your body and your back works. Take responsibility. It is after all your back.
4. Keep doing the same things you will produce the same results. GIve any back pain treatments a fair chance but dont keep doing treatments that are not working for you. Listen to your body.
5. Focusing on the negative and what you can't do makes it worse, focus on the positive and what you can do.
Listen to your body.
6. No one cares about your back like you do. YOU have to take control.
7. Before spending lots of hard earned cash ask what the root cause of your back problem is and how they intend to treat you. Ask what physical assessments they will do and what the assessments can tell them about your back condition. Don't commit to long contracts.
8. NEVER, ever give up looking for a solution to your back pain!
9. Nothing changes until something moves.
10. Educate yourself and believe you can beat this thing.

It is especially helpful when talking with professionals as you both then are talking from the same scale and can see how you are progressing.

LIKE THE SOUND OF A NATURAL SLEEP AID?
If Back Pain and sciatica symptoms are giving you problems sleeping you 'll want to take a look at this.
Why is sleep so important?
You know if you don't get a good nights sleep how you feel but what is it doing to your body?
It is said that most people need around 8 hours of sleep each might, some need more and some can do with less, if you have back pain or sciatica symptoms you may well be trying to cope on a lot less than 8 hours.
The fact is we have to sleep in order for our minds and bodies to repair and function properly and it is detrimental to us to lose too much sleep too often.
Sleep deprivation, in addition to making you feel tired and quite possibly irritable and depressed, may also lead to a weakened immune system, an inability to concentrate and increased stress and anxiety.
So it is important that you, the professionals treating you and your loved ones take your sleep needs seriously.

With help from some of the worlds leading experts in natural medicine, The Healthy Back Institute has created a natural sleep aid that includes the most effective combination of sleep aid ingredients.
It's called SleepzymeTM and here's why it works so well·
Heres what they have to say about it...
"First, unlike most natural sleep aids that only have one or two ingredients that help to improve sleep, our formula includes seven!
But more importantly, Sleepzyme includes a special blend of enzymes that are designed specifically to breakdown the ingredients so your body can utilize more of them and faster.
And, each of the ingredients in this formula have been proven to be safe and effective at improving sleep. In fact, people throughout the world have been using them for thousands of years.
But our research has found that together they work synergistically to provide even better results. And unlike prescription and over-the-counter sleep aids, Sleepzyme works without the dangerous and harmful side effects and is NOT addictive."

- LOSE THE BACK PAIN SYSTEM
- The "Lose the Back Pain System" was developed by massage therapist, Steve Hefferon and fitness trainer, Jesse Cannone with doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists and other healthcare professionals...
The system helps you, (without you having to have a degree in biology, physiology etc!!) understand back pain, explains the concept of muscle imbalances, shows you how to do self assessments,which corrective exercises to do and how to do them. There is also a great support service.
What do you get?
The most up to date version of the "lose the back pain system" has been available since Aug 2006
DVD 1 is very educational detailing information about muscle imbalances and covers the assessments. The self assessments are a key aspect to the program because you identify what muscle imbalances you have and then can see which corrective exercises you will need to follow.
DVD 2 All of the stretches and exercises in the system are demonstrated by Steve and Jesse themselves. This makes it very easy for you to check your form and make sure you are doing them as they should be done.
Three audio CDs which introduce the whole concept and approach, and discuss pain reduction strategies you can use to help you manage your pain.
If you have been diagnosed with a specific condition such as herniated disc, sciatica etc. the third CD covers specific recommendations, techniques and treatments in addition to addressing your muscle imbalances.
The Lose the Back Pain System also includes;
A Reference Manual, including photos and instructions, and pain reduction strategies.
A Personal Workbook for you to create your custom treatment plan.
Personal Support(Optional) to help you help yourself get the most out of the program.
The basic premise of the system is that it addresses the cause and the symptoms of back pain, the cause often being muscle imbalances.
Yes there are a lot of books around on stretching, but the big difference here is that you learn why muscle imbalances are so important , which muscles need to be stretched and which muscles need to be strengthened , then you get a step by step guide on which exercises to do and how.

Success Stories from Lose the Back Pain System
How these people got relief from Back Pain and Sciatic pain.
"Drastic Improvements After Just One Week"
"There were days I could not move. The pain in my right leg and lower back was the WORST pain I had ever felt! I went to a chiropractor and it was decent at best, but it did not have any long-term relief. I discovered losethebackpain.com and I decided to order the product. I must say... that was THE best choice I had ever made. They are very friendly, helpful to your needs and you can even email them and they will respond to your specific questions!
I tried the program, and after only one week I felt drastic improvements! I cannot say enough how impressed I am with their knowledge, product, and assistance. This IS the answer you've been looking for!"
Matt Hansen, Phoenix, Arizona
"Surprised by the personal service..."
"I was really surprised by the email and phone support I received from Steve and Jesse. I had several questions about the video and the exercises I should be doing and got replies to my several emails within 24 hours. This is more than I expected when I ordered the video. I don't think there are many people like Steve and Jesse who aren't just selling videos but rather they are providing personal service to assist the people who buy the product."
George M, 76 years old - San Diego, California
"After reading about muscle imbalances on your web site , and your money back guarantee if the video and book didn't work for me, I thought I've nothing to lose. On a Monday at 5pm I purchased online and on the Friday morning it arrived (that's just 3 days all the way from the U.S.A. to Canterbury Kent England). So I performed the self assessments and started on the exercises, including the specific exercises for sciatica. With in days I was feeling better and after 2 weeks I am feeling really good. It is now 19 days as I write this and I have just been to see my acupuncturist, and she is amazed at my progress. So my next visit is not for another 6 weeks, and the way things are going I probably won't need to go. I am still asking myself how these exercises can make so much difference?? Thank you so much."

Considering Back Surgery? Questions To Ask.
Be Fully Informed About Back Pain Surgery Options. Risks And Benefits
Unless there are circumstances which make back surgery urgent and essential it is always worthwhile talking through the pros and cons of having it with your healthcare providers and surgeon and if possible considering trying less invasive alternatives first.
These are some questions I asked when I was referred to a neurosurgeon to consider having surgery. There may well be many more you can think of but just a starting point.
I dont know about you but my mind goes blank when i am in a surgeons office so i found it best to write down all my questions first then i can just read them. My neurosurgeon said he liked it when people came in prepared as he then knew that concerns were addressed.
What is the exact diagnosis?
What assessments will you do and what will the assessments tell you about my condition?
Is it essential/urgent I have back surgery now? If yes why?
If it is not urgent/essential I have surgery now can I try other treatments first then come back?
What is the specific back pain surgery you are proposing? How will this help me?
What is the prognosis for my back if I do not have surgery?
Do I need any other tests for my spine/back or general health ? If so which ones? What will they tell you?
Is there a waiting list for back surgery? If so how long?
What happens if the back surgery doesnt work?
Could I be worse off/more backpain or sciatica after the surgery?
What are the risks to my spine or my general health?
How long will I be in recovery after the back surgery?
Will I need to do any maintenance or back exercises after the surgery? If so what?
How many appointments will I need? How frequently?
What exactly will this treatment do for me?
Will it cost me anything?
How often do you /this hospital perform this back surgery?
The bottom line is to be as informed as possible before you make a decision.
Do You Really Need Back Surgery?
Information and advice from a Neurosurgeon about back surgery.
If you undertake to have surgery, ensure you have a proper diagnosis, a skilled surgeon and appropriate technology.
Dr. Aaron Filler: Do You Really Need Back Surgery?
Noted neurosurgeon Dr. Aaron Filler of the Institute for Nerve Medicine in Santa Monica, California, discusses the issues surrounding back surgeries to alleviate spine and nerve pain. Alternative therapies are covered, as are new MR-guided injections which can often relieve or eliminate back pain instead of painful, invasive surgeries.

Rotate tasks so you dont spend all your time in one position.
Get someone else to do the heavy work or pay a clearance firm if it has got on top of you ..then you can do the nice bits!
If bending and stretching is too much for you consider raised beds.
Go for a low maintenance garden.
Use back friendly tools to reduce stretching and bending.
SLEEPING WITH SCIATICA?try,
A memory foam mattress topper.
If you lie on your side position a pillow between your knees. Try a pillow at your back and front as well.Experiment which sleep positions suit you best while you have a bad back. Try lying on your side with a pillow between your knees. We are all different but many people who have back pain often find it painful or exacerbate their condition if they lie on their stomachs so avoid if this affects you. If OK for you to lie on your back try a pillow or two under your knees to take the pressure ff the lower back. Try placing a towel or blanket under your hips to give you more support. Full length body pillows can be very good especially if you find you roll over onto your back during the night, some people use two or pillows on one side to keep them in a good sleep position.
Relaxation CD's to ease anxiety and stress.
A body pillow.
A warm bath or shower before bed.

Lifezyme Plus
A Natural Anti Inflammatory
If you are suffering from back pain and sciatica and having to take medications, or if you can't take medications due to side effects you may want to consider investigating LifezymePlus.
Unfortunately, sometimes you end up on a treadmill of prescription after prescription for drugs that sometimes have side effects which are worse than the thing they are supposed to help.
The good news is, nature has it's own solutions to all of the ailments most of us suffer from and sciatic pain is no different.
After years of research and testing, The Healthy Back Institute created the most powerful natural alternative prescription and over-the-counter pain medications.
This formula is called LifezymePlus and it includes what they believe is the best combination of enzymes and herbs that have been proven to fight off inflammation and reduce pain.
- Lifezyme Plus
- I am honest with you and I only recently used this for my after my wisdom tooth extraction operation!
I didn't use this while I was in the throes of back pain and sciatica, mainly because I did not know about it back then! Painkillers and anti inflammatory meds made me sick so I couldnt take them and just got by the best I could; not a pleasant time.
However when I had my wisdom tooth out recently the extraction site was very inflamed and again I couldnt take anti inflammatory medication so I thought of LifezymePlus. Happily for me they really helped for things to heal up more quickly and the pain seemed to diminish too.
Like most things some things will work better for some people better than others and you need to look into this to see if it will suit you.
More detailed information about LifezymePlus is availalable by following the link.

What Are Systemic Proteolytic Enzymes and How Can You Benefit From Them?
An article written by Steve Hefferon CMT, PTA,CPRS On Systemic Enzymes
Proteolytic enzymes, also referred to as "proteases," are enzymes that break down proteins into their smallest elements.
If this breakdown of proteins happens in your gut, we call the enzymes "digestive," because they help us digest our food.
Systemic proteolytic enzymes, however, have a completely different purpose, so please don't confuse the two.
When taken on an empty stomach, proteolytic enzymes will pass through the stomach or intestine lining and enter the circulatory system. This is why they are called "systemic" - once they enter the circulatory system, they circulate throughout the body.
Why are systemic proteolytic enzymes important?
The most important thing that systemic proteolytic enzymes do is to break down excess fibrin in your circulatory system and in other connective tissue, such as your muscles. These enzymes bring nutrients and oxygen-rich blood that remove the metabolic waste produced by inflammation and excess fibrin.....
Please click the link below to take you to the full article to learn more information about Systemic Proteolytic Enzymes...and how they can help you.
