Chronic Back Pain Management
Chronic back pain management can be worse than the actual pain for many patients. The cycle of
chronic back pain
is a rollercoaster of physical and emotional ups and downs. The majority of patients with long term pain continue to deteriorate in a slow downward spiral until they either become partially disabled by the causative condition or the final drastic
treatment options.
Millions of lives are disrupted by the burden of
unresolved back pain
every year.
Chronic Back Pain
Management Cycle
Most patients with pain go to their doctor hoping to find a quick and permanent cure for their symptoms.
Chronic pain
is a syndrome that scoffs at this naïve idea. Long term pain syndromes are notorious for resisting all attempts at treatment from a variety of methods and providers. Patients become emotionally
frustrated
over their treatment resistant pain and become increasingly
fearful
that they will never be well again. The
nocebo effect
given by long term pain is so severe that most patients experience ever worsening symptoms as their mind accepts the idea that they are truly damaged beyond repair.
Reasons for Chronic Back Pain Management
Chronic pain is greatly misunderstood by both patients and doctors alike. Most physical pain syndromes respond well to traditional or alternative medical treatments and heal within the normally defined time period. Long term pain is often created by one of three possible causes:
* Patient is
injured
or perceives injury. The injury is not serious and merely acts as a
trigger
for long term pain to begin.
* Patient receives a diagnosis of some coincidental
scapegoat
condition in their spine and suffers from a nocebo effect. They are scared for their future and develop increasingly powerful symptoms as a direct result of the diagnosis.
* Patient has
psychosomatic pain
that happens to reside in the back. This condition is rarely identified as being caused by a psychological process and most commonly results in the pain being blamed on some innocent scapegoat condition, as in the above example.
Chronic Back Pain Management Modalities
Treatment options for chronic pain usually follow a set progression. Conservative medical and complementary methods are usually the first to be employed.
Physical therapy,
exercise
and mild pharmaceutical relief are the first choices of many doctors and patients. If the pain continues, new methods of pain management are added.
Chiropractic,
massage,
epidural injections
and more powerful
drugs
are the most common of these moderate treatments. At this point, the patient realizes that their pain is not improving. This normally results in an ever widening quest for ANYTHING which might bring some semblance of relief. The patient uses up valuable time and money searching for a
cure
for a diagnosed condition that is rarely the actual source of their pain. Of course, these misdirected treatments do little or nothing to help the symptoms and the patient becomes desperate for a cure. This is the most dangerous time for the patient, since they are prone to acquiesce to some drastic treatment such as
surgery.
Many patients proceed with surgical correction of their innocent
spinal abnormalities.
Being that the pain is not actually resulting from this now corrected source, the symptoms continue and often worsen. This common occurrence is known as
failed back surgery syndrome
and is all too common among patients with chronic pain. All this suffering could have been avoided if the patient or the doctor simply realized the psychosomatic nature of the pain to begin with.
Recommendation for Chronic Back Pain Management
The body will heal if it is wounded or injured in 99.9% of cases. Long term back pain defies this statistic and accounts for millions of incapacitated patients suffering needlessly worldwide. The reality of most chronic pain syndromes is that they are rarely due to a physical cause. Most long term pain conditions are caused or perpetuated by a psychological process. There is a simple and readily available cure for this extremely common type of pain. This cure has been used by millions for the successful resolution of back pain and many other
psychologically induced pain syndromes.
This cure is
knowledge therapy.
You will not find this cure at your doctor’s office since it is FREE and therefore goes against the economic plan set up by the profit driven
back pain industry.
This cure can be found online, at a book store or even in your local library. Why take chances with your health and future? Why not work to end your pain right now? There are no side effects or risks from this cure. The only possible consequence can be the relief of ALL YOUR PAIN. Sounds too good to be true? Give it a try and find out what I and millions of other patients already know...
