Burning Back Pain

Burning back pain, although less common, it is actually probably the easiest type of back pain to ease and remove. The 2 most burning questions you probably have are ...

What causes burning back pain?

The burning pain is a result of a few back muscles being both tired and tight. This may sound unusual; in fact it is the actual mechanism that leads to chronic muscle tightness.

When muscles tire they tighten. When your back muscles strain to work they tire, tighten and then burn. It is the same situation as if you were to sit against a wall, with your back straight and knees bent. After a while your thigh muscles will quiver and shake, they will then burn as the muscles tire and eventually you give up trying to sit like this.

With burning pain, the same mechanism is in play...

The 4 main causes of any back pain are tight and weak muscles, poor joint movement and pelvic imbalance. As joints fail to move correctly, and as your pelvis twists and distorts, muscles are forced to work harder. They tire and then the burning sensation develops.

Back pain that burns may feel uncomfortable and be worrying, in fact it is easy to remove and ease. This leads you to the second burning question...

How can you ease your burning pain?

Easing your burning pain requires you to target all the factors causing it. You need to get the joints moving freely, relax the tight muscles, stimulate the nerve and blood supply to the weak muscles and rebalance your pelvis.

Stimulating the muscles is the main focus to stop the burn, and probably the easiest to do.

Stimulating muscles is a simple process. There are some reflexes which help stimulate the nerve and blood supply to your muscles. All you do is rub these and the burning type pain eases quickly.

The main problem though is working out which muscles are causing the problems. It may appear obvious as you have pain in one area. But you can have one muscle tight because another elsewhere is weakened.

The first step in any back pain relief is always finding the cause. Which is not how you sit, lift or bend, but the distortion patterns in your spine that allow muscles to tire and burn.

What is the best approach to ease your burning back pain?

To get long lasting results you must both remove the symptoms and the cause. First you must identify which spinal imbalances are present, then attack the symptomatic processes. This can be achieved by using many techniques from ice/heat, Acupressure and anti-inflammatory measures. Then you must perform corrective techniques that target the spinal imbalances.

The principles of Spinal Balancing address the both the pain and the root cause of the condition that is responsible for your lower right back pain. Through self assessments, your individual spinal imbalances can be identified, and a targeted corrective program can be developed for your specific needs.
