Lower Back Pain

"Questions You Should Ask & Answers You Should Get"

Lower back pain is the second most common reason people seek help from their doctor. It is only second to the common cold. The statistics tell you how common it is, with over 80% of adults suffering at some stage.

Read on to find out the important questions on lower back pain and the vital answers.

Some more statistics first though, not to frighten you but to help you understand how common your condition is. These statistics also teach you that many people make the same mistakes and end up living with lower back pain for life.

Did you know that 47% of adults will have back pain this year? That right now 7% of adults are in pain. That the majority of back pain becomes chronic.

What about the recent statistics that say only 25% of adults with pain today will be pain free in one year. The rest are worse or the same. That means 75% of people will remain in pain, each and every year.

Why?

Are The Causes Of Lower Back Pain That Difficult?

The causes of lower back pain are simple. You have muscles that are tight, other muscles weak, joints not moving correctly and your pelvis is out of balance.

However these are the physical factors that allow back pain to occur.

Too many people believe that lifting incorrectly, or sitting poorly or twisting too far causes low back pain. These activities are daily tasks and do not "cause" back pain. They allow the various physical factors to increase which lead to back pain.

If your muscles were balanced, joints moving well and your pelvis was balanced, you could lift, bend and twist and not have pain. Look at those around you pain free, they bend, lift and twist, don't they. Yet stay pain free.

The other mistake people make is believing that lower back pain is only physical. Your general health, fitness levels and even stress and fatigue levels will also attribute to your back pain woes.

Yet these are seldom addressed when you seek help. All you get is some exercises, stretches and some manipulation to your spine

The BIGGEST Problem

The biggest problem with all back pain is practitioners. What I mean is that each profession believes that pain is caused "mainly" by one issue or another. Hence they target these areas only.

Chiropractors only adjust spines (sorry to all those practitioners like myself that do more), Physiotherapists work on muscles, Medics use medication only, and so it goes.

To relieve back pain you need to address all the issues creating it. You cannot rely on one technique or targeting one area.

This is why the statistics are so poor. Too many people search for help and only find help for one area. What you need is a comprehensive approach. One that covers all the areas of your lower back that are creating your pain.

But did you know there is one more huge error made, that most never know.

The One VITAL Missing Piece Of The Puzzle

The major omission made in low back pain has nothing do with treatment. It also has nothing to do with the causes, actually it does in a sense.

The major error made is not diagnosing what is wrong. This again does not mean how you sit, stand or lift. It also has nothing to do with saying you have tight muscles or a subluxation in your spine.

Your spine will twist and distort when you have these muscular and joint imbalances. The entire spine will distort, not just one area.

There are 4 main distortion patterns that occur in your spine.

If you can identify which one you have you are light years ahead of everybody else. Why?

Once you can identify the pattern you have, you know exactly which muscles to strengthen, which to stretch, which joints to target and how to balance your pelvis.

You can also use the same technique to make sure you stay in balance.

This one vital step is the most overlooked area of lower back pain. If you cannot find these patterns, then it is like shooting in the dark when you want to relieve pain.
