Back Pain Help
Back pain help is on the way, faster than a speeding…SNAIL. Sorry. The reality of curing
back pain
is often a dismal picture for patients who simply can not find lasting relief from their painful symptomatic conditions. Whether you are new to the back pain experience and looking for answers and advice, or a seasoned back pain veteran who is at the proverbial end of their rope, help is available. However, finding the correct type of help for your particular condition might not be as easy as it might seem...

Back Pain Help from your Doctor
Ok, so your back hurts, now what? Well, you will probably go to the doctor. Here is where the potential problem arises. Doctors are experts in traditional medical procedures; the very same procedures which often demonstrate horrible curative results for common back pain. Studies have found that patients who do nothing at all
recover
twice as fast from their pain than patients who consult a physician. I am not suggesting that you ignore your pain and I do advise getting a check up for any new pain syndrome. However, I am also trying to open your eyes to the common problems associated with the diagnostic process.
Back Pain Help Diagnosis
The typical diagnostic procedure often discovers some
spinal abnormality
in the approximate area of the spine associated with the painful symptoms. Many times the exact symptoms do not correlate to the discovered condition, but that spinal irregularity is blamed for the pain, nonetheless. Sometimes, no abnormalities are found and the doctor might blame the pain on some other condition which is almost impossible to prove as the exact cause of pain. The 2 most common conditions targeted for this occurrence are
sacroiliac joint dysfunction
and the even more popular
piriformis syndrome.
The reality of back pain has been proven time and time again in research studies. Symptoms are rarely the result of spinal abnormalities and the vast majority of asymptomatic people have identical spinal irregularities as patients who experience pain. This little known factual information is the basis for patients being enslaved in long term treatment protocols due to the utter
misdiagnosis
of pain from coincidental and innocent
back pain scapegoat
conditions.
Back Pain Help from Treatment
Ok, so you have a diagnosis. Who knows if it is correct? Maybe yes, maybe no… Regardless, you have to do something, so you proceed with the recommended
treatment.
The treatments do not seem to help much, if at all. The doctors are concerned and recommend more invasive therapies. You achieve minor relief over the course of months, but are still in substantial pain. Sound familiar? Yeah, for me also… You attempt some
chiropractic
or other alternative treatment and see some good results. Unfortunately, these results fade fast and eventually you only get a very short period of relief from each therapy session. You decide that it is time to try something new. By this point, you have found a
specialist in back pain.
This doctor might recommend
surgery.
You might agree. You might endure a torturous operation and recovery period only to find that you still suffer daily with the worst pain yet. On top of it all, your mobility and functionality are now permanently reduced. How did this happen to you? What could you do differently to achieve a much better result?
The Reality of Back Pain Help
I hope that you did indeed stop short before reaching a desperate post-surgical end result. I hope this information reaches you in time to give you slight pause…In order to fully recover from back pain, you must learn everything there is to know about your condition. You should study various resources from a variety of authors. Do not become sucked in to any one approach to
back care
before learning about all your options. Do not allow a
doctor
to intimidate or frighten you into some drastic procedure. If and when you agree to surgery, or any treatment, make it an informed choice based on the facts and have confidence in that choice. Back pain is often far less physical than it appears to be. The majority of patients have the ability to cure their pain 100% all by themselves. I did it, and you can too.
I have already made a lifetime of mistakes for you. Don’t follow in my footsteps. I suffered endlessly and worse yet, needlessly, for 18 long years. These times was supposed to be the best years of my young adulthood, but were spent in utter misery instead. I want you to be pain free. I really do. It is my most sincere wish for all of you. Please, spend the time to learn the facts for yourself. After you have done so, then you can proceed as a learned and informed scholar on back pain, rather than fearful and unsure lambs to the slaughter. Please,
write to me
if you need help. I am always here for you…
