Back Pain
Unless your back pain falls under one of the Serious Conditions listed below, the following explanations and remedies will help you tremendously. Back pain has very little to do with your back. It is one of the most prevalent human conditions, and the cause is very simple. People have simply been looking in the wrong place for the answer. In a nutshell, the healthier you are, the less back pain you will have. Yes, that could be said for pretty much all health conditions. To be more specific, all back pain originates from a weakness or dysfunction of a specific internal organ. If you support that internal action or function, your back will get better. How about the fact that most back issues begin with some sort of minor injury? The question is why was your body able to sustain the injury? With exception to physical traumas, like a car accident or a tree falling on you, the only reason your body became injured was because there was already a precursor weakness in that area. Why was that weakness there? The internal organ function or action was not working efficiently to begin with. Example: You have never had a physical trauma like a tree falling on you. Yet you have this recurring back issue that flares up if you stand too long or twist a little and reach for something. The muscles that constrict and cause you pain are controlled by how healthy an internal function is. That means that what you feel in your back is a symptom of what is going on inside your body. 90% of the time I find it is a bowel issue. Either a food allergy or minor infection, but something is irritating bowel function. If you resolve the bowel issue, the inflammation of the bowel decreases and the inflammation of the muscles in the low back go away. The other 10% is typically an issue in the reproductive system.
It has been suggested, and I tend to agree, that emotions have a big part to play with back pain. Look at stressors you might have with relationships in your life. Serious Conditions Approximately 98% of back pain patients who actually go to the medical doctor complaining of back pain are diagnosed with nonspecific acute back pain which has no serious underlying pathology. However, secondary back pain which is caused by an underlying condition accounts for nearly 2% of the cases. Underlying pathology in these cases may include metastatic cancer, spinal osteomyelitis (infection), spinal stenosis (narrowing) and epidural abscess. Typical warning signs of a potentially life- threatening problem involving low back pain are bowel and/or bladder incontinence or progressive weakness in the legs. Severe back pain (such as pain that is bad enough to interrupt sleep) that occurs with other signs of severe illness (e.g. fever, unexplained weight loss) may also indicate a serious underlying medical condition. |
