My Aching Back Blues: Losing The Back Pain

New England Journal of Medicine study reports your back "condition" and your
back pain aren't related. This groundbreaking study revealed what we've been saying for years.Two people can have the same back-condition but one will be in excruciating pain and the other will be completely pain-free! Isn't that amazing? You can have an "incurable" condition like a herniated disc and NOT FEEL ANY PAIN from it.

Why is that possible? Because your condition isn't necessarily the cause of the pain you feel.This is one of the hardest concepts for folks who come to us for help to accept but it's critical to getting lasting pain relief.

The majority of your pain is caused by the tightness and inflammation in your muscles and tissue and by the pressure and pinching of nerves caused by the physical dysfunctions in your body.If you get rid of the tissue-pain and the nerve-pain - you don't have back pain even if you can't get rid of your back-condition.

And that means ...
You can have a HERNIATED DISC but have NO PAIN!

You can have SCOLIOSIS (like me) but have NO PAIN!

You can have any of a dozen other back conditions and still be virtually PAIN-FREE!

Your back and spine don't have to be perfect for you to be PAIN FREE. Our approach at The Healthy Back Institute is to get of your pain even if you can't get rid of your condition.This "hidden cause" of back pain went unnoticed
for years BEFORE you started having back-problems. Long before you ever noticed any back pain or pulled any back-muscles something was happening in your body.

It is what weakened and strained your back-muscles over time and reworked your pelvis and spine causing all kinds of back problems for you. Your body was developing physical dysfunctions you didn't know about.Physical dysfunctions are a combination of tight and loose or weak muscles in your upper legs, buttocks, hips and shoulders that pull your pelvis and spine out of alignment over the years.

This makes your back muscles work "against the grain" so they weaken over time and get injured easier ... they put pressure on your spine and pinch nerves and cause all kinds of nerve-related pain.

These dysfunctions can actually cause conditions like herniated discs, sciatica and even virtual-scoliosis and others. If you have back pain it's not a question of IF you have one of these dysfunctions the question is which ones and how many do you have.

1. Forward tipped pelvis - where one or both sides of your pelvis are rotated forward ...

2. Backward tipped pelvis - where, you guessed it, your pelvis is tipped unnaturally backward ...

3. High-right or high-left Pelvis - this one can create 'virtual scoliosis' because one side of your hips is higher than the other and all of your vertebrae are pushed up on one side ....

4. Forward Head and neck - this is when your spine and neck are pulled slightly forward and off-kilter. It puts as much excess pressure on your spine as if you were carrying a 30-pound ball on your head ... Click Here! For more free info

For several months I have been dealing with back pain. The pain started in my right buttocks and radiated down my right leg to my right foot. At first I thought it was only a muscle pull, the results of lifting several heavy boxes in and out of a van. However the pain in my leg continued and got progressively worst. Standing, walking and especially driving became torture.

Sometimes the pain would be more like a burning sensation and sometimes my foot would go numb and I when I walked I could not tell if my foot was touching the ground. Now at sixty-three I considered myself in pretty good shape. I have always exercised and watched what I ate. Fortunately I have managed to avoid serious injury and sickness. This was all about to change.

Finally a month after first experiencing the pain I went to my family doctor. He prescribed some medicaton and referred me to physical therapy. To make a long story short PT didn't work. In fact it only made it worst. Finally after a MRI revealed a herniated disc. I had surgery. Now one week later I am flat on my back, but pain free.

Since my surgery I have been researching back conditions and alternatives to surgery - yeah I know I should of thought of this before surgery! I have discovered that there are methods, treatments and exercises that if follwed can bring about relief from back pain. These treatments get at the undelying cause of back pain. One of the most highly recommended is a program called "Lose the Back Pain" for more information, free guide and lots of videos click here Click Here!

There's a hidden cause of back pain... it's something very few medical or healthcare professionals are even aware of... If they were, they wouldn't be treating conditions. Instead, they'd be identifying and addressing what brought about the condition in the first place.For example, if you were diagnosed with a herniated disc, instead of just treating the symptoms, they should be finding out what caused the disc to herniate to begin with.

Back pain does not happen overnight. While the pain may appear suddenly, the fact is the problem has been developing for months or more likely, years.The reason you have back pain is because your body and spine have been pulled out of their normal position and into what we call dysfunctions.

If you are like most people, you move around and live your life without ever being aware that you are forcing your body to work with these dysfunctions, and sooner or later your body breaks down. An example of a dysfunction can be seen in the illustration below and as you can see, there is an excessive curve in the lower spine.As you can imagine, it doesn't take long before this results in pain. It's very important to understand though, that these dysfunctions don't just appear out of nowhere - we create them!

Physical dysfunctions develop over time and are the direct result of imbalances between various muscle groups, what we call "muscle imbalances". Did you know that while you may feel pain in your back, the actual cause of the pain could be the front of your thighs?As you can imagine, it doesn't take long before this results in pain. It's very important to understand though, that these dysfunctions don't just appear out of nowhere - we create them!

For example, an imbalance between the muscles of the thighs can pull your pelvis and spine out of position and this dysfunction can quickly cause all sorts of problems.

As you can see in the illustration, back pain begins with muscle imbalances that over time create a dysfunction. Your body is then forced to work each day with this dysfunction and eventually this creates a condition, like a herniated disc for example. For more information on muscle imbalances and how to lose the back pain.

Then the condition causes pain and as you know, pain is your body's way of alerting you to a problem that needs to be fixed... just as a light on the dashboard of a car alerts the driver to a problem. For more information on muscle imbalances and how to lose the back pain Click Here!

What the heck is a muscle imbalance you ask? When a muscle or group of muscles overpowers the opposing muscle(s), you have a muscle imbalance. Think of it as a Tug-of-War. When your muscles are out of balance they pull your bones and joints out of their normal position and this places them under constant and uneven stress.

For example, the position and curvature of your spine is determined by the amount of balance in numerous muscle groups like the thighs, hips and torso. When muscle imbalances pull your spine and body out of alignment, the level of stress on certain muscles, bones and joints increases. And even the smallest muscle imbalance can over time pull you out of balance and place tremendous amounts of uneven pressure and wear and tear on your body... especially the vertebrae, discs, spine and its supporting muscles.
