The Many Costs of Back Pain... and the Few Effective Solutions

I, like many, have been struggling with crippling back pain. Long distance driving, sitting in seminars, watching a movie, long plane rides... even taking a walk, going up stairs... painful, sometimes impossible.

The thousands upon thousands of dollars spent on chiropractor treatments, massage therapy, etc.

Until a year or so ago, when I found my first "alternative" therapy.

This article is about what I found and what works.

Solution #1: The Miracle Ball Method

Bottom Line: Great solution, but time consuming

The Miracle Ball Method has been around for a few years... maybe 3?

It consists of two 4" diameter inflatable rubber balls and a book of exercises.

Though the exercises are useful, you can do nothing else while doing them, maybe listen to music... that's all.

For the method to be effective, you need to be prepared to use it every day, for at lest 20-30 minutes.

I abandoned it because of lack of time.

Solution #2: The Back Joy

Bottom Line: Excellent, but for travel it's a little bulky

Product Description
Like therapy for your back! BackJoy improves posture and relieves back pain. Nothing relieves more pressure and strain from your back. Simple and easy to use, you can sit comfortably for hours in any type of seat. Unlike other cushions, even full -length chair pads, BackJoy let's you sit in a position that's most comfortable for you. This compact and lightweight sitting device feels like it was made for your body! BackJoy is designed to conform to your body, not the chair. It cushions your sitting bones and gently tilts your pelvis forward to create a neutral sitting position for your spine. The strain and pressure of supporting your body weight is placed on your proper weight bearing bones - and that results in less pain. Use BackJoy anywhere you sit, from an office chair, in your car, when you fly, everywhere!

My opinion: the Back Joy works because it holds your butt together and forces your sacrum and pelvis to stay where it is supposed to, while during normal sitting, all those bones get out of alignment.

My experience is that when I sit with the Back Joy, I don't say ouch when I get up, I don't need to wait for my spine and back to be ready for action... it is an excellent product.

Solution #3: The Sacro Wedgy...

The Best is always left last

Hey, the Sacro Wedgy looks stupid, looking at it you are SURE it won't work, and it is a complete miracle maker.

I have been using it both in bed and on a chair, in the car, and it is out of this world wonderful.

Don't ask me what it does, I still have to figure out. But it is 1. small 2. effective, so I am ordering another one to take with me to trips, seminars.

And no, I don't have a financial interest in you buying it, yet.

I hope I can negotiate an affiliate agreement with them... I'd love to market this gadget.

Update: I just spoke with the Sacro Wedgy People on the phone and negotiated an agreement with them... so if you want, you can buy it from me... as soon as I am set up I'll post a buying link here...

If it is urgent, go Amazon, they are as good as anyone, same price. I'll throw in a book or something to be competitive... :-)
