Psychology of Lower Back Pain

The psychology of lower back pain is a topic in which I am intimately acquainted. I endured horrific lower back pain for 18 of my young adult years and have truly been scarred by the experience. My physical symptoms have faded away, but the mental and emotional damage caused by my battle with back ache will never disappear.

Psychology of Lower Back Pain / Suffering

Suffering with lower back pain is perhaps the worst possible health condition a person might be subjected to in their lifetime. The agony can be so severe and the symptoms so fierce, that they penetrate into the mind, heart and soul. This certainly reflects my own torment by chronic lumbar back pain. Patients who must put up with this misery day in and day out, for many years, become changed by their ordeal. Most give up hope of ever finding a real cure and a great number simply resolve themselves to a life of pain, limitation and disability.

It is crucial to never lose sight of a possible cure, so try not to acquiesce to a life spent in symptomatic treatment. This is the acceptance of slavery. There is always hope for finding lasting relief for most patients and it is your responsibility to pursue all treatment options in your quest for a lasting cure. I know the many failed attempts can leave a sour taste in your mouth, but please… Don’t give up!

Psychology of Lower Back Pain / Recovery

Recovering from back pain is just as much a certain state of mind, as it is a physical, anatomical healing. Allowing yourself to be free from the burden of back pain is difficult after enduring the conditioning caused by the syndrome over the long haul. Actually thinking of yourself as HEALTHY can make a huge difference, although it might be much harder than it first seems to be… This is particularly so when the symptoms make a return appearance, not allowing you to get away that easily…

Truly beating back pain means living a normal and unrestricted life. It is crucial to lose the fear of the condition and break free from the rules and limitations you have set up for yourself. You must stop thinking of yourself as injured and impaired and realize that most chronic back pain is caused, worsened and perpetuated through psycho-emotional processes. This type of psychosomatic back pain is rampant and devastating, yet is actually a condition which is easily rectified using knowledge therapy. This treatment was instrumental to my cure and has been the driving force behind the resolution of countless pain syndromes in people all over the world.

Psychology of Lower Back Pain Advice

I recommend knowledge therapy to all people with long term treatment resistant back pain. There is nothing at all to lose and a real and permanent cure to be found. There is no cost (or very low cost) and there are no risks. What do you have to lose?

Don’t forget that the nocebo influence of most back pain diagnoses will leave considerable damage in your mind and heart. You must research your diagnosis and realize that the vast majority of spinal abnormalities are often mistakenly blamed for causing suffering, when in fact, most are coincidental to the symptoms experienced.
