Back Pain Solution
Finding a back pain solution is a difficult proposition for many patients. While some patients have short term problems with their backs due to injury or degenerative conditions, many patients experience long term
unresolved back pain.
These are the patients who become desperate to find some answer to their
back pain questions.
This page is dedicated to all of you out there searching for some relief for your chronic treatment-resistant pain.
Back Pain Solution / Proper DiagnosisRegardless of treatment history and poor results, most patients never even consider questioning their original diagnosis. This is one of the main perpetuators of long term back pain. Misdiagnosis of spinal conditions is prevalent, especially with the large variety of back pain scapegoat conditions which are commonly blamed for causing symptomatic conditions even though they are innocent and merely coincidental to the pain. If you have pain which has not responded well to treatment, this would be the first point to consider… Back Pain Solution / Appropriate TreatmentJust because a patient has been in therapy for a long time does not insure a cure for any painful condition. Many treatment options are symptomatic in nature. This means simply that the treatment is not designed to cure the condition, nor will it ever. The goal of treatment is merely to control the symptoms, not resolve the underlying condition. Many patients do not understand this concept and waste years worth of money, time and hope enduring endless series of therapy without even realizing the treatment might actually be perpetuating the pain.Other treatments are simply not even advised for a particular condition. Surgery is grossly overused as a back pain treatment and its dismal curative results demonstrate its ineffectiveness in the majority of patients. Remember that back surgery should always be a last resort for any chronic problem. Back Pain Solution / Mind & BodyMost back care programs do not even include the concept of mind/body medicine. Of all the contributors to long term pain, this is perhaps the greatest villain of them all. The mind and body interact in all matters of health and disease. There is no denying the mind’s effects on the physical body. However, psychosomatic back pain is almost never diagnosed by any health care professional. This is ironic since it is the most common of all back pain conditions…Acknowledging the possibility of a psychosomatic causation is good science and proper medicine. Unfortunately, it goes against the medical systems economic bottom line and is therefore usually ignored by most traditional doctors. If doctors really wanted to help, they would lose the resistance to accepting a psychological cause for many painful conditions and learn from the incredible treatment results enjoyed by such pioneers as Dr. John Sarno of the Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine in New York City. Recommendation on a Back Pain SolutionCuring your pain is a joint effort. Your physicians and therapists are partially responsible for helping you to reach a pain-free condition. The rest of the responsibility resides with you, the patient. You CAN NOT be passive when it comes to your treatment. You must learn the facts of your condition and you must research all the possible treatment approaches available to you. A LEARNED patient has a far better chance of becoming a CURED patient. This is precisely the approach I used to cure my own pain. I stopped allowing the care providers to have God-like control over my future and took over my own treatment decisions. This was the defining moment in my success. The simple choice of learning the objective facts about back pain gave me everything I ever needed (and more) to alleviate my symptoms. I learned so much, I felt the need to share it with all of you. I hope that you enjoy my site and will benefit in some way, large or small, from the knowledge contained herein.
