Back Pain – Causes, Symptoms, Types and Exercises

By fioricetultram


Back pain is an all-too-familiar problem that can range from a dull, constant ache to a sudden, sharp pain that leaves you incapacitated. It can come on suddenly – from an accident, a fall, or lifting something too heavy – or it can develop slowly, perhaps as the result of age-related changes to the spine. Regardless of how it happens or how it feels, you know it when you have it. And chances are, if you don’t have it now, you will eventually.

Lower back pain, also known as lumbago, affects 7 out of 10 people at some time in their lives. Low back pain means a pain or ache anywhere on your back, in between the bottom of the ribs and the top of the legs.

The pain can come on suddenly, slowly or be the direct result of a fall or injury.

There are many causes of back pain.

• The most common cause is a strain of the back, which is a small tear of the back muscles or ligaments. This usually results from a sudden or awkward movement, or from lifting a heavy object. But often, a person can’t remember a particular incident that brought on the pain.

• Other common causes include poor muscle tone in the back, tension or spasm of the back muscles and problems with the joints that make up the back.

The symptoms for back pain are:

• Persistent aching or stiffness anywhere along your spine, from the base of the neck to the hips.

• Sharp, localized pain in the neck, upper back, or lower back — especially after lifting heavy objects or engaging in other strenuous activity.

• Chronic ache in the middle or lower back, especially after sitting or standing for extended periods.

Types of Back Pain

Acute pain

One common type of pain is acute pain, currently defined as pain lasting less than 3 to 6 months, or pain that is directly related to tissue damage. This is the kind of pain that is experienced from a paper cut or needle prick. Other examples of acute pain include:

• Touching a hot stove or iron. This pain will cause a fast, immediate, intense pain with an almost simultaneous withdrawal of the body part that is being burned. More of an aching pain might be experience a few seconds after the initial pain and withdrawal.

Chronic back pain

Typically persists longer than the expected healing time for the identified cause of the pain—such as low back surgery—or persists after the identified cause of the pain has been treated.

Osteoarthritis

This is a long-term degeneration of the joints, which makes them less able to withstand stress. It’s a wear-and-tear problem that affects most of us as we get older and which can give rise to pain in some cases.

Exercises to minimize problems with back pain

You can minimize problems with back pain with exercises that make the muscles in your back, stomach, hips and thighs strong and flexible. Some people keep in good physical condition by being active in recreational activities like running, walking, bike riding, and swimming. In addition to these conditioning activities, there are specific exercises that are directed toward strengthening and stretching your back, stomach, hip and thigh muscles.

You Don’t Have to be Perfect to be Free of Back Pain

By fioricetultram


Would you have back pain if every part of your body were perfect? The answer has to be… No, it’s pretty safe to say you wouldn’t have any pain if your body were perfectly aligned, perfectly balanced and in a perfect state of being.

But here’s the thing—you don’t have to be perfect to be pain-free. In fact, you can have serious conditions like Spinal Stenosis and even a Herniated disc and still have no pain—regardless of the type of job you have or how you think the condition developed or even the unique situation that you find yourself in today.

Don’t believe it? The prestigious New England Journal of Medicine just reported it.

They published a study in which researchers performed an MRI on 98 people who had no back pain. And the researchers found that nearly two thirds of them had some kind of abnormal disk condition.

The researchers conclude:

“Many people without back pain have disk bulges or protrusions… Given the high prevalence of these findings and of back pain, the discovery by MRI of bulges or protrusions in people with low back pain may frequently be coincidental.”

That’s right. They called having a bulging or protruded disc and having back pain a coincidence. Proof positive that you can have a condition and not have pain. Indeed, there are millions of people with existing back problems right now who do not even know that they have the condition and surly don’t have any pain at all.

How do you become one of those people?

Living with the condition and living pain free.

Let me say something that may be uncomfortable for you to hear. There is a good chance your condition will never go away. That may sound scary, but it is possible. Herniated disks don’t typically un-bulge themselves and then heal them self to the way they were when you were 15. Spinal Stenosis doesn’t come and go.

And yet, you can still live without pain. In fact, you probably already have.

If you have gone just one minute of one day since your last flare-up without pain, you’ve proved you can have your condition without pain.

How can this be? If the condition didn’t go away, what changes? It all has to do with the alignment of your body, the position of your pelvis, the curvature of your spine and the stability of your body as a whole as you go through your day.

Now, there are a couple of ways to try to relieve that irritation permanently. Sure, you could have surgery. That’s one option to treat your pain. But most surgeries fail within 3 to 5 years. Why? Because they don’t address the reason why the condition became symptomatic in the first place. In other words they don’t fix what’s really causing your condition to develop–they just remove the irritant that is causing the pain.

So what does? I understand you think you’ve tried everything—chiropractors, physical therapy, cortisone shots, acupuncture, massage, anti-Inflammatories and probably 20 others. But ask yourself one question. Answer it truthfully.

Has anyone ever looked at your body as a whole and told you specifically what your postural dysfunctions are and what specifically is causing your body to look like it does?

Furthermore has anyone spelled out for you why your pelvis is the way it is? Did they tell you specifically which muscles are tight, which muscles are weak and then give you a very specific and very targeted corrective program to achieve postural balance and stability, which is the single more important thing you can do to alleviate your pain and gain control of your life?

Stability is Everything when looking for pain relief

The only way to stop the irritation is to bring your body back to a more neutral, more balanced and more stable state. When you do that, everything works better—your back, your hips, your shoulders, your SI joint, everything. Once your body is balanced and stable you can do all the things you love to do and do them with the confidence that you are safe, strong and protected against further injury.

As the NEJM proved, you don’t have to be perfect to eliminate pain. You just need to work toward creating a more balanced and neutral state for your body. When you work toward pelvic stability, you help your spine maintain a neutral position. Then you can use your body as it was intended to be used.

That’s how you can have the condition and not have pain. You most likely won’t need surgery. You won’t wake up every morning stiff. You can return to your life and do all you want to do.

Why is Muscle Balance Therapy so different?

First, you should understand that there is no single set of exercises that can specifically help a Herniated disk or Spinal Stenosis or any condition for that matter. So I urge you not to search the Internet for back pain exercises and just do any old stretch or exercise without knowing the underlying reason you are doing it for.

You must also understand that the Corrective Exercise Program you will get form Muscle Balance Therapy is not based on your diagnosis but rather on corroborating evidence from both physical and visual assessments that are used to ensure you are doing the correct and safest program possible for you and your current condition.

Muscle Balance Therapy is based on the biomechanical principle—the more balanced and stable your body is the better your body will work and the less pain you will be in. So before we start we must first know which muscles are out of balance, meaning we need to know specifically which muscles are tight and which are weak. Once we know those, then we can create a very specific and targeted stretch and exercise program to restore balance. And again that only comes from doing the specific assessments…

Let me just review this point one more time, there is no such thing as a single exercise for and medical diagnosed form of back pain like a herniated disc or Spinal Stenosis. So when you ask me will, I just had and MRI and was just diagnosed with 4 Herniated Discs, Degenerative Disc Disease all levels, Spinal Stenosis and oh I was born with Scoliosis and 17 years ago I was in a major auto accident, will your system work for me the answer is will always be yes…

In fact, I tell everyone it great to know your specific diagnosis but now forget about it, you can not change the facts and you can not change the past. Rather, focus your energy on the things you know you can change and as you restore balance you will restore function.

That brings us to the third unique aspect of Muscle Balances Therapy and that is that we have to perform what we call the Unbalanced Workout. This means that you will not benefit from just blindly strengthening or stretching all your core muscles. That is not the way to do it.

The reason is that you could be stretching or strengthening muscle groups that do not need to be stretched or strengthened and you can make your condition worse. Here is the secret: The difference between having pain and not having pain is in millimeters of movement and the more specific the physical approach the faster and safer the results will be.

The fourth difference is not in our exercises, because there are no new exercises in the world. Rather, it’s the confidence you get knowing that the exercises that you are doing are working the muscles in the best way possible for you and your situation.

The Secret

Everyone understands that one approach can not be the answer to every possible circumstance, and we know that, so here is the secret, as you work with Muscle Balance Therapy and address root cause issues like physical balance and postural stability, please understand that we encourage you to seek out those same modalities that failed you before, they all have value in the process of healing but not until you address the important stuff first.

You know the list of things that you have tried; I contend that this time Massage, Inversion, Supplements, Trigger Point Therapy, Heating Pads to name a few will all work to speed your healing and help you achieve optimal health for the rest of your life.

Is Muscle Balance Therapy perfect? It’s close. Does everyone get 100% pain relief? Most do.

I can say with all honesty that there is 100% chance you will improve from your current state. We have a list of 50 ways that your body and life will benefit and 100% pain relief is by all measures a bonus. So it boils down to this: Would you be happy with 80%, 60%, even 50% reduction in pain yet able to do all the things you love to do? Would that improve your quality of life?

I have dedicated the last 15 years of my life and endured both personal and professional sacrifice to create a safe, systematic approach to addressing all forms of back pain that can be used by young and old alike. And I have never been closer then I am right now with the concept of Muscle Balance Therapy to be able to say that you have just learned one of the best lessons anyone with back pain can hear.

I’m not promising miracles, but I do promise a complete and thorough as well as safe approach to managing, treating and even eliminating your pain.

I have seen amazing results again and again for those people that put in the effort and believe in them self knowing that they are doing the right thing.

Let me leave you with this last thought and one that I believe holds the most power. The human body is intrinsically designed to heal its self, we as individuals just need to give our bodies what is needed and remove what is not needed, Muscle Balance Therapy puts that power to heal yourself back in your control.

If I could barrow a line from my good friend Bob Proctor, the cure to ignorance is knowledge and the answer to fear, worry and doubt is study, understanding and faith. Faith builds enthusiasm and enthusiasm accelerates healing. How good it that!

So if you don’t believe me that you can have your condition and not have pain let me teach you what is possible. If you worry and are filled with doubt I urge you to study what is already available to you and the more you know the better off you will become.

That is true for all things and will be true till the end of time.

Natural Treatment of Headaches

By fioricetultram


Headache treatments began from the time humans first began to dabble in the medicinal arts. Many kinds of procedures, including home remedies and health supplements for the treatment of headaches, have been tried for centuries. The earliest known surgical procedure is thought to have been an attempt at headache treatment. This procedure became popular in the Middle Ages (along with comparably credible treatment such as leeches, humor balancing and flogging). This surgical procedure, called trepanning or trephining, involved digging a large hole in the head, which was thought to relieve the pressure causing the headache(http://www.mitamins.com/disease/Headache.html).

Since then, science has come a long way though our knowledge of the brain, but methods of treating headaches are not always successful. Though there are plenty of drugs, health supplements and natural remedies for the treatment of headaches, the causes of headaches are still largely unknown.

Here we are referring to primary headaches, or those that are not caused by a basic medical condition. Secondary headaches can be signals of serious problems, thus any headache that is frequent, severe or followed by any other symptoms (vomiting, diarrhea sensitivity to light, dizziness, slurred speech etc) ought to be checked out by a physician. If you are unsure of whether your headaches require a trip to the doctor, take one there anyway.

The medical world has divided headaches into a lot of different categories. Though you may have your own expletive-laden terms, we will split headaches into two types for our purposes, and give some suggestions for supplements and natural solutions that may help alleviate and treat headache pain.

Tension headaches – These are the most ordinary and are usually caused by tension in the muscle of the scalp or neck. Poor posture, repetitive actions or overuse of the jaw muscles can all lead to excess strain, causing mild to moderate pain.

The best remedy for tension headaches is relaxation, and a hot bath or a cold pack on the neck can work. Slow and deep breathing is a good way to alleviate pain and relieve headaches(http://www.mitamins.com/disease/Headache.html) as well.

Natural herbal health supplements for headaches(http://www.mitamins.com/disease/Headache.html) including chamomile, peppermint oil and lavender can all failitate the relaxation process and relieve headaches. Additionally, health supplements for headaches such as Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Pantothenic Acid play an important part in supporting functions in the head. Calcium and Magnesium can alleviate muscle tension. If you suspect you have been grinding your teeth throughout the night, supplements for headaches such as passionflower, hops and valerian may be effective in ensuring a headache-free, peaceful night’s sleep.

Vasular headaches – This category includes migraine headaches, flu headaches, cluster headaches and premenstrual headaches. This type of headache is caused by dilation of the blood vessels around the head. It gets worse during physical activity, and some episodes can go on for days.

Besides pharmaceutical options, there are also some natural herbal health supplements known to be effective in the prevention and treatment of vascular headaches including: Feverfew, which can alleviate the inflammation in the brain; White Willow, a kind of natural analgesic; and Ginkgo Biloba which assists in maintaining peripheral circulation to the brain (although check with your doctor as some people’s migraines become worse after using gingko biloba). It is important to find out the reason for your headache symptoms and either avoid the cause (such as red wine, aged cheese and tyramine-containing foods) or be prepared at the onset of certain conditions ( such as menstruation or bouts of flu).

Chiropractic and Headaches

By fioricetultram


Headache is defined as pain in the head or upper neck and has many causes. The International Headaches Society in 2007 placed headaches in three major categories

1. Primary

2. Secondary

3. Cranial neuralgias, facial pains and other headaches.

 

Primary headaches include migraine, tension and cluster headaches as well as a variety of less common types of headaches. Tension headaches are by far the most common type of headaches. 90% of the population experience these at some time or another. Women are more prone to these than men.

A tension headache is often felt as a pain in the head or upper neck with either a constant dull pain or a more severe throbbing pain. At the same time, tension and pain is felt in the upper back muscles and neck muscles, as well as a tightness of the actual muscles of the skull.

Migraines are the next most common types of headaches. They are often a mystery as they can occur at any time and are seemingly unrelated to tension. A migraine sufferer will describe visual disturbances such as a flickering of their vision at the sides or an aura which they know is a  prelude to a migraine attack.

Following the flickering of their eyesight can come blurred vision and an increased sensitivity to bright light. They can also experience nausea and vomiting. These patients can often only find help by lying down in a quiet darkened room until the migraine subsides.They often feel “washed out” for 24 hours following such an attack. 

Cranial neurology is a classification which includes causes emanating from the brain. These are extremely serious and life threatening and may include such things as meningitis , encephalitis and brain tumours. Headaches which are not easily relieved by simple analgesics such as paracetamol or aspirin should be investigated by a medical practitioner. Such headaches might be accompanied by loss of vision, loss of smell or other neurological deficits.

Such symptoms must not be ignored at any cost. Facial pain is another category of headache. It can present as a burning or aching pain and can often have many

causes includinng dental problems such as infected teeth, and dental abcesses of the jaw.

Infected sinuses can refer pain to the face as the nerves that are present in the sinus regions have branches in the face. Neck and jaw muscles can refer pain to the face when these muscles have become tense and overly contracted or in spasm – the common TMJ syndrome associated with grinding, clenching and wearing down teeth is known to many people.

Chiropractic treatment is one of the most successful methods of treating tension and migraine headaches. As a chiropractor of twenty five years experience, I have seen literally thousands of patients who have had headaches for many years. These people have typically been prescribed or have purchased over the counter pain killers which have relieved their symptoms to a degree but have done absolutely nothing to prevent another headache occurring the

day later.

At one time, Australia had the highest percentage in the world of people with kidney failure, directly due to their having constantly taken these pain killers. Some people would take them on waking, even when they did not have a headache. Perhaps they thought that they would stop one from coming on!

Chiropractic treatment involves a range of examinations and medical tests to evaluate the causes of the headache. This is important to make sure that the patient is not suffering from

one of the more dangerous types of headache that I have already mentioned. By removing or reducing the causes of tension to the nerves of the neck and upper back muscles, the headaches may gradually ease and in time, disappear completely. The patient is then able to get on with their lives and enjoy participating in their communities and families.

A small mention should be about headaches in children. This is a subject unto itself. It is a fact that many illnesses may cause head pain in children and every report of headache must be viewed with suspicion and checked out. It is also worth remembering that children are as prone to hurting their neck and shoulders in play as adults may at work.

Chiropractors frequently help children with headache where their necks have become strained or subluxated, due to a range of factors such as poor posture, heavy schoolbags, using laptops etc. Be aware of how many hours your child sits and balance in their lives to keep them exercising and active. Investigate headaches by looking at how they spend their time and their posture, noy only by suspecting illness and disease.
