Neuropathy
Neuropathy is a general term for pain or disease which affects the neurological structures of the body. When it comes to
back pain,
you hear this term often associated with a wide range of possible diagnoses.
Sciatica
and
pinched nerves
are certainly the most common instances of diagnosed neurological pain, while other less common examples, such as
piriformis syndrome
and
thoracic outlet syndrome
are also very possible.
Neuropathy ConditionDespite the delicate nature of nerve tissue, it is still rare to suffer nerve damage in the back due to many of the common suspect culprits, such as typical herniated discs and arthritis in the spine. While it is possible that these spinal abnormalities might enact radicular pain is some unfortunate individuals, most cases are misdiagnosed and the symptoms should be further investigated to locate their actual source. Ischemic NeuropathyOxygen deprivation is the most prevalent cause of chronic back pain, yet it one of the least often diagnosed. When nerve tissue is deprived of oxygen, the results can be devastating. Generally, pain, tingling, weakness and numbness will all show up and these symptoms can truly be life altering…Ischemia can result from a physical structural condition or disease process. There are many reasons for anatomically-induced ischemia to exist. Luckily, these can be easily discovered by your physician and treated successfully in most patients. The type of ischemia which is not typically diagnosed is the form which is purposefully enacted by a psychosomatic process. This is a rampant form of psychological back pain and the type I see more often than any other dorsopathy condition. Neuropathy AdviceIn my own personal battle with horrific back pain, I was diagnosed with 2 herniated discs and degenerative disc disease as my main problematic concerns. My symptoms were supposed to stem from nerve compression in my lower back (pinched nerves) which created pain and neurological symptoms in my entire lower body. This made perfect sense to me as a layman and I never questioned the diagnosis for many years. However, my desperation for a cure grew as the years passed and my pain worsened. Eventually, my research led me to Dr. John Sarno of the NYU Medical Center in New York. Dr. Sarno taught me all about how ischemia is the root cause of most diagnosed nerve pain syndromes throughout the back and the body in general. Using the simple and easy program of knowledge therapy recommended by the good doctor, I was able to completely cure all my long standing pain. This was not only my own personal miracle, but also the start of my quest to help others overcome their debilitating back pain. If I can help you, please feel free to write to me at any time…
