Lower Back Injury
Lower Back Injury NoceboIt is a common belief that the lower back is a region that is easily injured and difficult to rehabilitate. The lower back does receive a lot of wear and tear in our lives. That fact is true. However, evolution has provided us with an anatomy that will function despite normal spinal degeneration. The lower back is a strong and able structure that will not usually fail us under normal usage. The idea that the lumbar region is delicate and fragile is a myth that creates a powerful nocebo effect on affected patients and society as a whole.Lower Back Injury / Lumbar InjuryIt is common for lumbar injuries to occur. Laborers, athletes and those with repetitive motion jobs put tremendous stress on their lower backs. Sometimes this stress can cause a herniated disc injury, back muscle pain or some other type of lower back condition. Most of these injuries are not serious, even though they might be very, very painful.The real problems with lower back injuries usually occur AFTER treatment begins. The diagnostic and treatment processes create an environment of fear and persistent pain. The patient is rarely reassured that they will be fine and should recover completely. More often, they are warned that their backs are now prone to re-injury and that they will have to make some drastic changes in their activities and lifestyle. Treatment for Lower Back InjuryMost lumbar back injuries will heal all by themselves. It has been shown in European research studies that back pain patients who DO NOTHING special to treat their pain actually get better FASTER than many who go through the medical system. I am not surprised by this study. Patients who view back pain as nothing more serious than a bad headache will recover and move on with life. Patients who are convinced that they have been irreparably injured will undoubtedly become damaged goods…Medicine has failed to find a cure for most back pain conditions, but has excelled at discovering many long term symptomatic treatments. A cure is not in the economic interest of the back pain industry. The accepted treatment protocol is far more profitable than a cure could ever be!!! Another reason that medicine has failed to cure most physical back pain is that many conditions REQUIRE NO CURE. Common conditions such as degenerative disc disease, herniated discs and spinal osteoarthritis are rarely symptomatic. However, by the time many patients get “worked over” by the medical community, they are convinced that they have some impossible to cure back disease or injury. Meanwhile, they have a normal back with the same spinal degeneration that we all face as we age. It is a sad situation for the poor patient.
Recommendation on a Lower Back InjuryHow do I know all these ideas about lower back pain are correct? Did I study them in school? Did I attend a lecture on them at some prestigious medical conference? How do I know how a patient feels as they are going through the treatment process?I know because I WAS THERE. I lived through the pain myself. FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE is something you can not ignore. 18 years of research and suffering,
frustration
and hope,
treatments
and more treatments, have made me the person I am today. I am finally free from ALL back pain. I discovered a true cure for my pain. I discovered why medicine failed me. I stopped blaming failed treatments and I stopped blaming my poor back. I realized after all those years of suffering that my problem was a
MISDIAGNOSIS
of the actual reason for my pain. My herniated discs were innocent. My degenerative disc disease was innocent. My previously diagnosed
scoliosis
turned out to be a completely normal degree of curvature in my spine. I did not have any lower back injury after all. I would never have imagined in my wildest dreams that my back pain would actually be
psychosomatic.
I was shocked. I was relieved. I was amazed. Suddenly, after 18 years, I was CURED. I did it… You can too !!!
