Could you be the main reason for your back pain?

By Alex Christianson


Back pain treatment solutions are a hotly disputed subject matter. Each week, a minimum of one scientific study claims a traditional treatment method is ineffective. Even the oldest and most trusted remedies, including physical therapy, are not free from this kind of criticism. Not long ago, experts from Warwick University (United kingdom) discovered that just one single period of advice and suggestions for pain relief achieved exactly the same results as six weeks as physical rehabilitation!

Obviously, performing such a large study is difficult since there are so many variables which need to be considered. Sometimes they don't disclose what kind of remedy was provided in the study. Also we don't know the background of the practitioners and how long they've been in the industry. Some other questions we would want to find out are: did all the test subjects have the same reason for their back pain? Were all the exercises and advice carried out by the patients as instructed?

This final question is the greatest one in my personal opinion to look at. Just about all methods of back pain therapy include some type of workout or teachings on how to sit, move and stand. Are we really able to follow these instructions? Many professionals in the therapy field make the false presumption that people can.

On the other hand, in the event that low back pain is not simply caused by a diagnosed medical condition, it is most likely a muscular issue. Our bodies are actually effectively capable of supporting itself with minor muscle effort. Muscles called the Postural Muscle group, are intended to support our bodies for extended periods of sustained activity to hold us upright as well as balanced. Your phasic muscles are designed for quick bursts of activity like raising your arm and rotating your head. This is a very high level view due to the fact almost all muscles give a mix of both functions, but we are just using it as an example.

I believe, back pain as well as other muscular-skeletal problems tend to occur if we misuse our body. In layman's terms we are using the completely wrong muscle groups to sit, stand as well as move. In the event we're not actually moving properly during our day-to-day tasks, we will end up repeating the same mistakes when we try to do well-intentioned exercises.

Lots of people tighten their lower back muscles when they sit down and then when they stand up, unfortunately, these are completely the wrong muscles to use. Those muscles should not be utilized to maintain an upright position; this should actually be performed by muscles higher on your torso, which will help to balance the upper portion of your body.

If a person is struggling with back pain, and they are not using the muscles properly, how could they be expected to understand how to use them the correct way when excercising or even when trying to correct their posture? This is why, in my opinion, popular back pain remedies do not provide the best solution.

Physiotherapy, osteopathic, chiropractic and acupuncture therapies work. However, I still suggest seek professional medical guidance along with preliminary help from a qualified health practitioner.

Nevertheless, I would not treat these treatments as providing long-term resolution since they seldom get through to the reason behind the misuse of your muscles, and as a result you could find yourself making constant trips to the therapist.

If you are serious about tackling the main cause of your back, neck and shoulder pain, you'll need to further. Since your muscles are following what you are telling them to do, you must be concious of if you are telling them the right things to do.

Rather than relying just on physical exercises, the best course of action involves re-education, which will accomplish a lot more by taking away your unwanted routines that are the cause of your pain.
