Mechanical Back Pain
Mechanical back pain is a general term for
dorsopathy
concerns which are caused by a structural
back injury,
degenerative back pain
condition or
idiopathic
source in the spinal column or
back muscle
anatomy. This condition is also commonly referred to as structural back pain, physically induced back pain or anatomically motivated back pain.
Mechanical Back Pain ConditionsUnfortunately, although doctors and chiropractors have identified a plethora of possibly symptomatic structures in the spine and surrounding soft tissues, back pain patients still rarely find relief for their chronic pain. The reason for this is remarkably simple… All these diagnoses implicating the spinal structures as the source of chronic back pain are mostly unenlightened, incorrect and a travesty of medical science… Mechanical Back Pain ConcernsThe most commonly diagnosed sources of structural back pain are the intervertebral discs. Completely normal parts of the spinal aging process, such as degenerative disc disease and even herniated discs are the most prevalent issues which carry the blame for many painful conditions. The vertebrae are not immune either, with facet joint syndrome and arthritis in the spine taking in a fair share of the diagnostic pronouncements. Of course, neurological concerns are always a big part of back pain diagnosis, with foraminal stenosis, spinal stenosis, pinched nerves and other radiculopathy problems, like sciatica, doing their fair share. Back muscle pain is a very common diagnosis as well, and the related severe pain syndromes, such as fibromyalgia and thoracic outlet syndrome are on the rise in medical diagnosis everyday. This is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to back pain diagnosis, with many other conditions making up the pool of guilty anatomical defects. Spondylolisthesis, scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis, sacroiliac pain and piriformis syndrome all make token showings in the back pain scene…Mechanical Back Pain AdviceAcute back pain due to an injury is obviously physically induced. Some degenerative pain can also produce mild to moderate anatomically induced symptoms. However, the body is designed to heal and heal it will. Given proper medical care, most structural back pain conditions should resolve 100%. However, this rarely occurs. Statistics demonstrate that people who suffer back pain for more than 6 months have a better chance of suffering FOR LIFE than they do of ever recovering completely. This is a very frightening statistic indeed! The reason why medical science has been impotent in the face of the back pain epidemic is the obvious flaws in the diagnostic process. The facts clearly show that mechanical back pain is rarely the source of chronic symptoms. Far more common is the incidence of psychosomatic back pain enacting a long term battle with ischemia as its enforcer… As previously mentioned, the Cartesian philosophy of most doctors prevents them from even acknowledging the possibility that most back pain syndromes (and virtually all chronic pain conditions, regardless of where in the body they occur…) are the direct result of the constant interactions between the mind and the body.If your structurally diagnosed back pain has not healed, despite the best efforts of your doctors, I advise you to consider that your diagnosis might be flawed. Most of the structural concerns blamed for causing symptoms are nothing more than back pain scapegoats. They might be atypical of the spinal anatomy, but are certainly not usually overly problematic or symptomatic. They have simply been blamed since there is no other logical answer as to why you have pain, unless of course, you take into consideration the overwhelming incidence of emotional stress back pain concerns. It seems that accepting this possibility is just too logical for the back pain industry to comprehend… They would rather blame the anatomy for pain, despite the overwhelming evidence of the contrary.
