Back Pain Secrets Revealed
Today we're going to talk about the fact that most of the things that people try to find relief for back pain are only altering the symptoms of pain. They don’t heal the body or provide us with a long-term solution. In fact, medications, injections and surgery for back pain relief constitute an 80-billion-dollar market annually. People are spending money and time and energy on things that just are band-aids.
You feel kind of warm and fuzzy during that moment, but as soon as you stop doing whatever it is you're trying, the pain returns. For example, pain relievers either over the counter or prescription, only change your brain's perception of the pain. Anti-inflammatories, like cortisone injections in their spine, are similar, because they are just suppressing the body's inflammation response.
Here’s secret number one: Inflammation is actually normal and natural; it's part of the healing process. We need inflammation in order for our bodies to heal successfully. So that's obviously not going to give us a long-term solution if we know that that just stalls the healing process.
Then there are other back pain “fixes”, like the hang-upside-down-machine marketed as a decompression device. It might help during that moment, but as soon as we get off that device gravity kicks in and our symptoms come right back because it doesn't fix the actual problem The same goes for hot packs and cold packs and massage devices or lasers electrical devices that shock the body, all those creams, ointments, and CBD oils, too. The list goes on.
Here’s secret number two: The real cause of your back pain is improper movement in the areas above and below the lower back. These main areas are the hips and the upper spine. Those are the areas that need to be addressed. Improper movement and lack of flexibility in those areas are causing stress and damage to the lower back.
