Back Pain Relief News

When you look at finally getting back pain relief, how does it make you feel? Can you actually imagine being pain free?

The secret to getting long term back pain relief is precisely that. Feeling good now, imagining the feelings you will have when you are able to perform all the activities you once did.

Being able to enjoy life with those you cherish most. Playing sport not watching it from the sidelines. Going for a walk because you want to not because it is supposedly good for your back.

Just think how you will feel when you can put in a full days work, come home play sport, enjoy the games with your children or your friends and still be completely pain free.

And not just pain free. Not ever thinking about your back and how painful it was. Having the 100% confidence that you can do anything at all and not ever have even a twinge of pain.

Can you imagine that?

Now don’t get me wrong, this is not some new age funk that tells you to sit on a mountain top for hours on end, to meditate your pain away or start eating bean sprouts even.

You still need to work on the various muscle and joint imbalances. There will be some physical techniques you need to use to make sure you can start this process. You may even need to do some exercise to help get your joints moving.

But one of the simplest things you can do now is hook into those feelings of being pain free and healthy.

You don’t even need to do this for 24 hours a day, not even 12 hours…

In fact if you can spend just 60 seconds hooking into the feeling of being healthy and having no pain at all. How it will make you feel and hold that thought in your mind for 60 seconds.

Even better, if you do this 10 times each day you will find you have an amazing ability to attract this situation. You are training your mind and body to accept this as the NORMAL way of life.

It will help to change the cellular, muscular and inherent internal memories of your pain to one of being pain free. It allows the healing process to work faster and more efficiently.

Back pain relief is not just a physical process, it is a mental process also.

Think of all the goals you have had in the past. To achieve them the first action you took was to think of a solution, to hold this in your mind so a process could follow.

The same applies with your back pain. If you think of your goal of being pain free, hold that thought in your mind, care for like you would a child and repeat this often, you will achieve your goal.

All it takes is 60 seconds, ten times each day, adding in some simple back pain relief techniques and you will lead a life you can only imagine now. But imagining it will allow it to happen.

One of the common questions I get asked is “is there a back pain cure?” To answer this is not that easy.

Sure you can remove back pain easily through various techniques that rebalance your muscles and joints as well as improve your body’s ability to heal. But will these cure back pain?

Cure after all is a very big goal.

Will you never suffer again? Will your spine be immune to all the stresses and pressure you place on it if you use some magical technique? Can you become almost super human and not injure yourself through falls, bumps and scrapes?

I assume you can see the answer to all of these. A back pain cure is not a reachable goal if you plan to remove your back pain now and then do nothing further.

If you want to attempt to stay pain free then you need to continually improve your spine and the muscles that support it.

Does this mean spending countless hours every day doing exercises?

No. It means being able to regularly assess and reassess your spine to make sure it remains in balance. If it becomes out of balance then you need to act then and not wait until pain arrives.

Pain is a signal that your spine has become out of balance enough to warrant attention. Pain is just your internal fire alarm.

If you want a long term back pain cure, then you need to build continual strength in your spine. You must train your body to become pain free and stimulate your body to heal optimally.

This requires you to look after your body on a regular basis. But all you need is a few minutes of time each week to make sure your muscles are not too tight, that they have good strength and that your pelvis is balanced and no distortion patterns exist. Learning some simple Acupressure techniques helps you to give your body a good boost to make sure it heals well.

The main technique is not a healing technique, you need to be able to assess the balances in your spine and pelvis. If you can detect problems before pain develops then you will have a back pain cure.

You will be able to remove pain before it occurs and with time you will find you become fit and stronger and it becomes easier and easier to prevent pain.

So is there such as thing as a back pain cure? Yes, but it is not one technique. It is not relying on pain as the only signal to tell you your spine is out of balance. It is knowing to assess the balances regularly and to act early to make sure pain never develops.

Then you have a back pain cure.

There are many ways to cure back pain, you’ve seen them on the internet constantly. Every web site, practitioner or guru is going on how easy it is to relive back pain and allow you to return to all the activities you once did.

But is it that easy?

The statistics say after all, that over 80% of adult suffer with pain at some stage. That only 25% of those in pain now will be pain free in one year - the rest are the same or worse off.

So are all these people wrong, can they really cure back pain?

To understand the concept of a cure, you need to look at what a “permanent” cure means. Long-term relief of back pain means precisely that. Long term freedom from pain.

You are able to perform a full day’s work, enjoy your leisure time with friends and family and not feel any ill-effects from doing so. There is no back pain, no ache or any discomfort.

Sure if you have a fall or push your body too hard then it will react and back pain will develop. But this goes into the area of common sense.

To cure back pain therefore means to make sure your spine and its’ muscles are working correctly. That they are able to do all the daily tasks you ask your body to perform and then at the end of the day still feel great.

It may sound good, but is it possible.

The simple answer is yes, only if you make sure all the causes of your back pain have been eliminated. This is why so many techniques fail…

They only address a few areas and then hope pain eases. Long term you must continue with the exercises or pain returns without any reason.

There are many people in the world who suffer with no back pain at all (actually 20% of the adult population if the statistics are correct).

These people do not stretch or exercise, they don’t necessarily belong to gym’s either. Yet they remain pain free. It is because their body, especially their spine and the muscles that support it, are working correctly.

To have long term back pain relief, you must therefore remove all the causes.

You must:

- strengthen weak muscles

- get joints moving and in balance

- make sure your body heals and recovers from injury quickly and easily

Do all these and you will cure back pain long term. If you only rely on a few stretches or exercises then pain will return and you will end up chasing your symptoms for many years to come.

Back pain relief is an easy process, you can learn to help your pain at home and learn many simple ways to balance both your muscles and joints. You need to learn how to improve your body’s ability it heal and recover - which is the only way to make sure you have long lasting success.

If your body works well then you are able to be like those 20% of adults who never suffer with pain. Their system is in good working order and their body learns to remain pain free.

Can you cure back pain … yes. As long as you remove all the causes of your pain.

This is a common question for those who have struggled with back pain relief. You may have tried a few different techniques or even seen a practitioner or two, yet your back pain remains.

Why?

The reason why relief is slow or the results are poor is very simple.

To get long lasting back pain relief you must do at least 2 essential steps … and these have nothing to do with your muscles or joints.

Most people know that you need to balance your muscles and get joints moving to get relief from back pain. These steps are obvious although there are still simple and effective ways to achieve results … and some less effective ways.

But the two most essential steps are not related to either of these.

The first step is the most vital. You must find the ‘true’ cause of your pain. This is not how you lift or bend, it is not related to falls or injuries.

You may have heard of the various distortion patterns that twist your spine and lead to back or neck pain …

The true cause is the patterns that form that allow pain to develop … and then become a  habit. Once back pain has occurred for a period of time, it becomes a habit.

Once pain is habitual your body believes this to be a normal way of life for you. Your body will stop trying to correct your back issues and only deal with any acute flare-ups … and not remove all the factors causing your pain.

These distortion patterns will develop over time and become a ‘normal’ occurrence

How can you detect if you have these habitual patterns?

Simple… by checking which muscles are tight and various postural clues you will see a pattern emerging. Certain muscles on one side will be tighter than their opposites. You will see shoulder height changes along with pelvic height changes.

Your body will seem twisted and you may even notice one leg appears shorter than the other.

All of these indicate that both these patterns have developed and they are now a habit.

The second step essential step that most miss is also related to these habitual processes.

Unless you train your body to become pain free, your back pain relief efforts will only deliver short term results.

To remove these patterns, to relax muscles and get joints moving well, you must train them to do so.

Most people use techniques or see practitioners ONLY until pain eases. You assume that as pain has eased all the issues have miraculously disappeared … they haven’t.

You stop using the techniques and with time pain returns.

To get long lasting back pain relief you must keep using techniques until the patterns have disappeared and remained that way until new improved habits have formed.

Learning to assess which patterns you have is therefore essential not lonely to remove pain and find the cause … but to make sure you train your body to remain pain free.

Back pain relief is a simple process if you incorporate thee two vital steps.

Christmas is fast approaching and if you are in pain, the festive season does not look a happy prospect. Pain can ruin a good time for most, for you and those around you.

If you want back pain relief between now and the day Santa comes down your chimney, then there are a few steps you must take.

The first step is obvious, you need to work out what actually causes your pain. This is not how you lift or bend, but the distortion patterns that exist in your spine that allow pain to develop.

These distortion patterns are caused by muscular and joint imbalances that occur from the many micro-injuries that occur every day.

Once you find which pattern you have, the next step is to remove it. You can only remove these patterns by addressing each cause individually.

You must release trigger points which can cause 75% of your pain and by doing this you can get almost instant relief from pain. Trigger points are only symptomatic relief, they are not the true cause of your pain.

Next you need to balance your muscles and joints. This is achieved by using simple and easy techniques at home to realign your spine and getting muscles back into balance.

Balancing muscles requires you to stretch muscles that are tight, stimulate the nerve and blood supply and strengthen muscles that re weakened. Strange thing is that most muscles that are tight are also weak.

This is a common reason why so many back pain relief attempts fail. Because the muscle is tight, people stretch it and forget to improve the strength also.

When a muscle tires out it will tighten up, so the muscle is commonly weak first and then will tighten. Only stretching the muscle will only correct half the cause.

Joint balancing is just as important, especially making sure the pelvis is balanced. Your pelvis is the foundation of your spine and if out of balance allows many other joints and muscles to struggle.

Once you balance muscles and joints you still then need to break the habitual nature of pain. If pain has been present for a period of time, balancing muscles and joint swill only give you temporary relief.

You need to train your body to become pain free and stay that way. Breaking habits is easy it just take a small amount of time and minimal effort (if any effort at all).

The final step is always the most important and the one that most never take…

It is also the easiest step yet the hardest also. It is taking action…

So many people know they should remove their back pain, that back pain relief is easy to achieve, but don’t act.

There is no point reading all the information on the internet and still do nothing. If you do nothing your back pain will remain. You need to act, learn simple and easy ways to remove pain and then look forward to a Christmas being pain free.

Back pain relief is not rocket science. You need to find the cause, balance muscles and joints, break habits and take action and learn techniques to help yourself.
