Lower Back Pain Relief

Lower back pain relief is harder to find than the Holy Grail...The most common back problem is chronic low back pain. Patients must endure horrible pain and symptoms, while searching for lower back pain relief. Lower back pain is the second leading cause for a visit to a doctor. It is also the number one reason for a person to miss work. 80% of people will experience some moderate to severe low back pain at some point in their lives. There is an epidemic of chronic lower back pain today and it continues to grow…

Causes of Lower Back Pain

* Lower Back Injury

* Pinched Nerve in the Lower Back

* Degenerative Disc Disease

* Back Muscle Pain

* Arthritis is the Spine

The Symptoms Often DO NOT Make Sense

Often times, low back pain is misdiagnosed. There may be a left side herniated disc, but the patient feels pain on the right side and right leg. There may be a ruptured disc, but the condition has already extruded, calcified and stabilized. Disc degeneration may be present, but that is COMPLETELY normal in 99% of people. These statistics have shown that much lower back pain often comes from a source that is not easy or even always possible to diagnose. This is due to the difficulty of differentiating mind/body disorders form purely structural back pain syndromes.

Lower Back Pain Relief and Sciatica

The pain might originate in the lower back, but also has a “shooting” effect down one or both legs. This is often caused by a disc injury or disc degeneration. The nerve root that leads to the sciatic nerve is affected, causing a wide range of symptoms in the legs and feet. The common misconception with sciatica is that a disc is pinching the sciatic nerve. This is anatomically impossible, since this nerve does not actually join the spine directly.

The majority of patients do not know that their actual spinal cord does not even exist in much of the lumbar spine. The spinal cord ends in the lower thoracic spine or the upper lumbar spine and the nerve roots continue into the lumbar area of the back. This area is called the cauda equina (horse's tail). Lower lumbar injuries will not typically cause paralysis, but can still cause some significant effects. Cauda equina syndrome is one of the worst possibilities and can be a medical emergency.

Advice on Lower Back Pain Relief

Lumbar back pain relief was my only dream for 18 years of suffering. The pain in my lower back was unbearable and prevented me from having an consistently good quality of life.

I am a strong believer in the nocebo effect that medical science has caused in many affected patients. The average person views the lower back region as fragile and susceptible to injury. The lower back is not a fragile structure! Study the huge volume of chronic low back complaints that exist and you will know that it is not coincidence. Low back pain is a recent problem that started within the last 50 years. I do not think a million years of evolution suddenly went wrong. Chronic lower back pain is a condition that can be cured. I did it…so can you.
