The Simplest Way To Avoid Back Pain

Being a Back Pain Expert, and I’m not boasting here, but I have been in private practice since 1991. So I have seen a lot of back pain patients, and there is a simple way to avoid back pain now and in the future.

Now I assume that most of you reading this are currently experiencing back pain, or have had back pain in the past. So this applies even more so to you all…n

nThe simple advice is this:

Make sure you correct all the issues that have caused your back pain and make sure you are 100% better before you decide to do anything overly physical. Why?

I see a lot of people who have suffered from back pain, who start to feel better and suddenly they think it is perfectly okay to lift heavy objects again. Or they take up a gym membership, do the garden, play sport etc.

What you need to do is make sure your back pain is totally gone and that all your muscles and joints are working correctly – then start heavy exercise or activity.

This does not mean you should stay immobile until all your back pain has gone. You should still go for walks and do some stretches to help remove your back pain. But do not do anything overly physical until all your back issues have been corrected.

nThe problem with most people who have back pain is that they only deal with part of the problem. They address the tight muscles but fail to target the other causes of your back pain.

There are 4 main issues that cause back pain:

n1. Tight muscles – the most commonly targeted, through stretches, however tight muscles are only a minor factor in back pain. Tight muscles will cause 90% of your pain, but only contribute about 20% of the causative factors.

2. Weak Muscles – rarely treated as you usually think you need to join a gym. In fact, weak muscles relate to a poor nerve and blood supply, which reduces their structural strength.

3. Joint Imbalance – a combination of the spine and pelvis that if out of balance allows muscles to tighten and weaken. This is the main cause of back pain and needs addressing the most.

4. Inflammation – treated with either medication or natural remedies. It only appears if the joints or muscles are over traumatized. Simple to eliminate but only ever a minor cause of back pain.

To remove all your back pain issues you need to address all of these factors. Once all of these have been eliminated then start back into your normal routines of abusing your body physically.

If you fail to eliminate all the factors in your back pain, your back pain will return. As you age it will occur more often and more severely. You may eventually have a life of constant back pain and may even need surgery. So my advice again is this…

Before you attempt to do any physical activity – make sure you remove all your back pain issues. Something you can learn to do your self at home and help ease your back pain once and for all.
