Back Pain Relief – What Are The Best Back Pain Relief Techniques part 10

What the heck is a muscle imbalance you ask?

When a muscle or group of muscles overpowers the opposing muscle(s), you have a muscle imbalance. Think of it as a Tug-of-War.

When your muscles are out of balance they pull your bones and joints out of their normal position and this places them under constant and uneven stress.

For example, the position and curvature of your spine is determined by the amount of balance in all the muscle groups in your thighs, hips and torso.

When muscle imbalances pull your spine and body out of alignment, the level of stress on certain muscles, bones and joints increases.

And even the smallest muscle imbalance can over time pull you out of balance and place tremendous amounts of uneven pressure and wear and tear on your body… especially the vertebrae, discs, spine and its supporting muscles.

When your skeletal structure gets pulled out of alignment it can cause inflammation in the tissues throughout your spine, hips and muscles. And you can get pinched nerves in your spine and legs – like in cases of sciatica – because of the changes in your body’s structure.

Plus, because your muscles are no longer in the positions they were designed to be in they weaken over time.

Why do you have muscle imbalances in the first place?

For a lot of reasons; like how active you are …

What activities you do – sports, golf, gardening, horseback-riding – you’re using your muscles all the time, some get stronger, others get weaker ….

The exercises you do affect your muscle balances – so your hour at the gym, on the treadmill or running — all come into play to pull your body out of alignment …

Even how you sit – on the couch at home, in the car and at work … how you stand … and how walk all day long is part of it too …

What you do all day at work – whether you’re sitting at a computer, standing or running around saving people‟s lives on a fire-truck. Overtime the way you use your body affects the tug-of-war between your muscles and causes pain.

Everyone has muscle imbalances. And as you may have already realized, muscle imbalances are responsible for more than just back pain and sciatica.

Just think about it; what happens when you drive your car with unbalanced tires or your steering is out of alignment? Your tires will wear down unevenly and quicker than normal and eventually you’ll have a blowout… the same is true for your body!

So even sudden pain caused by lifting something or gardening, was only made possible by the underlying cause — the months and years of uneven pressure and wear and tear on your body caused by muscle imbalances.

The “event” was simply your body finally breaking down.

This “hidden cause” of back pain goes unnoticed for years BEFORE you start having back pain and conditions

Long before you ever noticed any back pain or pulled any back muscles something was happening in your body.

It is what weakened and strained your back-muscles over time and reworked your pelvis and spine causing all kinds of back problems for you.

Your body was developing physical dysfunctions you didn’t know about.

Physical dysfunctions are a combination of tight and loose or weak muscles in your upper legs, buttocks, hips and shoulders that pull your pelvis and spine out of alignment over the years.

This makes your back muscles work “against the grain” so they weaken over time and get injured easier … they put pressure on your spine and pinch nerves and cause all kinds of nerve-related pain.

Plus, by putting unnecessary stress on your muscles and skeletal system these dysfunctions cause a large amount of inflammation and muscle-pain you feel.

These dysfunctions can actually cause conditions like herniated discs, sciatica and even virtual scoliosis among others.

If you’re suffering from back-pain it’s not a question of IF you have one of these dysfunctions the question is which ones and how many do you have.

NEXT: The Lose The Back Pain Treatment System. Now that you’re armed with these pain relieving methods to reduce and manage your back pain let’s talk about how to get rid of the underlying causes of different types of back pain.

The Lose The Back Pain Treatment System

Whatever condition or conditions you have …scoliosis … herniated discs … stenosis of the spine … arthritis … fibromylagia … piriformis syndrome … sciatica … upper or lower back-pain you name it and someone else has already used this system to get lasting pain-relief …

If you’ve suffered serious back injuries resulting in chronic back- pain you should know folks injured in car accidents … suffer sporting injuries … hurt at work … or around the house have all found lasting relief using this system …

Join the 50,000 strong army of chronic back-pain sufferers who finally found relief after enduring 5 … 10 … 15 … even 50 years of debilitating pain traditional treatments couldn’t get rid of…

PLUS; be sure to complete the short self-assessment included in this chapter to help you determine the “hidden” causes of pain in your body.

If you’ve tried everything else to get rid of your pain without success you’re going to have some big “Aha!” moments as you read this chapter.

Because you’re going to discover an underlying cause of the back pain that usually goes completely overlooked and yet is responsible for an enormous amount of the pain you‟re experiencing.

In fact, you’ll see why folks who’ve been diagnosed with many of the most serious back-conditions known to medicine are celebrating this natural treatment system I’m about to share with you.

Folks like Carolyn who, by all standards, fell smack in the middle of the “lost cause” category of back-pain patients, but who overcame several serious conditions and took her life back… “My abilities DEFY my MRI films!”

“I’ve been dealing with back pain for over 30-years. I have an “S” curved spine … Class 2 slipped vertebrae … bulging disc … stenosis (of the spine) … sciatica … hip, butt, leg and low back pain.

“Over the years I’ve been in casts and braces … paid for adjustments that made things worse and gotten bad advice.”

“Doctors, surgeons, specialists, chiropractors and physical therapists didn’t help.”

“But THIS did! I‟m almost completely pain-free – some days I’m TOTALLY PAIN-FREE!” — Carolyn

Carolyn was an extreme case. She’d been suffering for over three decades and had multiple serious conditions but she finally found pain-relief. And I want you to know that you can too.

We’ve spent over 15 years researching, studying and helping people with severe, chronic back-pain, sciatica and other back-conditions.

“Virtually Pain-Free After 20-Years of Suffering!”

“I have suffered back pain for over 20 years… now …I’m virtually PAIN-FREE! THANK-YOU!!!” – Lynn Wertelet, Albion PA

“Lost Cause” back pain sufferer Carole Gardner finally got pain free after 30 years of pain

“PAIN-FREE for the FIRST TIME in 15-Years!”

“I’ve been pain free for the last 8 weeks. And I mean PAIN FREE for the FIRST TIME in over 15 years!” – Mark A. Visalia, CA

“20-Years of Back-Pain –GONE!”

“I experienced wonderful relief from my pain the very first day I used your system. I’ve had back pain for 20 years and now it’s gone… it’s amazing!” –Robert English, Queensland, Australia

The reason we’ve been so successful helping so many back-pain sufferers at The Healthy Back Institute is because we treat the underlying cause of your pain.

If you’re sick and tired of temporary back-pain treatments and want the secrets to LASTING PAIN RELIEF, keep reading …

Did you know the pain in your back could be caused by the muscles on the front of your thighs?

It‟s true. if your thigh muscles and hip muscles are out of balance your quadriceps can pull your pelvis and spine right out of position!

Look at the picture on the right. You can see how muscle-imbalances lead to what are called physical dysfunctions that lead to conditions like herniated discs which causes you pain. So it seems like the pain happens suddenly but now you know the cause was there first.

The pain is just nature’s way of telling you, “Hey! Something’s wrong with our body!” Just like the light on your dashboard tells you your almost out of gas.

How to decompress your spine for faster pain relief

The good news is just the slightest increase in the spaces between your spinal discs can be enough to allow a herniated or bulging disc to pop back into place.

Or be enough to relieve pressure on compressed nerves. That’s why spinal decompression is so popular with chronic back pain sufferers.

When you decompress the spine you, very naturally, increase the spaces between your spinal discs taking the pressure off nerves and bulging or herniated discs.

The most effective method of decompressing your spine is inversion therapy.

Inversion therapy is a way of treating back-pain by diminishing the influence of gravity, reducing the compression of your vertebrae and allowing the muscles and ligaments that encase your spine to relax.

In inversion you basically just hang upside down in a safe, supported position and allow your muscles and spine to relax. Just 15 minutes a day is often enough to provide wonderful benefits.

The safest, most effective way to decompress with inversion therapy is by using an inversion table. The table allows you to lie on your back relaxed, in an inverted position. A good inversion table lets you control how inverted you want to be so you don‟t have to go all the upside down if you’re not comfortable – just a 25% incline is enough to start with.To find out more about inversion tables you can click here and read about the only inversion table we recommend.

Eating To Be Pain Free

What you eat and drink has a huge impact on how much pain you feel. So taking a little time and thought about what you‟re eating or not eating is well worth it if you‟re suffering from a lot of pain.

1. Drink More Water!

This may sound “basic” but, please, do not over look the importance of staying well-hydrated.

Most people, and more back-pain sufferers, don’t drink enough water.

And no, soda, coffee and teas don’t count.

When you’re suffering from back-pain water is critical to getting relief. Water helps your body heal and recover from stress, but if you have bulging or herniated discs or a degenerative disc disease it‟s even more important.

When you‟re dehydrated you could lower the levels of fluids throughout your body (like the fluid in your spinal discs!). Your body heals and repairs itself much better when it‟s well-hydrated. And that affects how fast you can recover from back-injuries or how much pain you experience from another condition.

How much should you drink?

You‟ve heard EIGHT 8 oz. glasses a day for years. And it’s a good number … to start with. Eight glasses should be a minimum, yes you might go to the bathroom more often, but you’ll feel a LOT better. Try it for a few days and notice the difference in how you feel.

2. Eat to reduce and avoid tissue inflammation

Food is a critical piece of the puzzle when it comes to controlling inflammation. There are dozens of foods that create inflammation in our bodies, and there are dozens of foods that reduce and/or prevent inflammation in our bodies. Consuming the right mix of these throughout the day, weeks and months is essential toward living pain free.

And in times of injury or pain suffering, the foods you consume may be what keep the inflammation active well past its usefulness, and send your pain into chronic territory.

First, here is a list of foods you might want to avoid because they can contribute to painful inflammation in your body:

Animal Milk Products: Milk, Cream, Ice Cream, Cheese, Cottage Cheese, Yogurt.

Hydrogenated Oils: Non-Dairy Creamer, Crackers, Cookies, Chips, Snack Bars.

Nitrates: Hot Dogs, Cold Cuts, Pepperoni, Sausage, Bacon, Liverwurst.

Processed Sugars: Candy, Soda, Bread, Bottled Fruit Juice, Cookies, Snack Bars.

Night Shade Vegetables: Potatoes, Peppers, Tomatoes, Eggplant.

Fast Foods: French Fries, Onion Rings, Loaded Baked Potatoes, Fatty Burgers, Mexican Food, Pizza, Calzones, Stromboli‟s.

Caffeine: Coffee, Black Tea, Soda, Chocolate.

Trans Fats: Partially Hydrogenated Fats / Vegetable Oils / Deep Fried Foods

Processed White Foods: Artificial Sweeteners, Flour, Bread, Pasta, Sugar.

Second, try eating the foods on this list more often to help you reduce painful inflammation:

Now that you know which foods actually cause inflammation or make it worse, let’s look at those foods that can help reduce and even prevent inflammation.

Wild Alaskan Salmon

Fresh whole fruits

Bright colored vegetables (except night shades)

Green or White Tea

Purified or Distilled Water

Olive oil

Lean poultry (skinless)

Lean Grass Fed beef (filets)

Nuts, legumes and seeds

Dark green leafy vegetables

Aromatic Spices (Turmeric, Ginger, Cloves, Garlic, Onion, Coriander, Ground Mustard Seed, Cayenne Pepper)

As you can see, a diet high in fiber and whole foods and low in preservatives and fat is the key to diet-based pain relief. But specifically, the above-mentioned foods actually work to reduce pain and inflammation.

The good news is there are some easy solutions. For starters you click here to watch a video on how to sit to reduce back pain.

Back pillows and back orthotics are two of the simplest and most effective.

This is the Back Pillow that we recommend most often

This is the ultimate in back-support comfort. The contours of the Freedom Back are designed to fit the shape of your whole back from your upper back all the way down to your hips.The Freedom Back is designed around real people’s bodies to give total back support and comfort without restricting movement (and the massage feels great!)

The Freedom back is very versatile too because you can take it anywhere you go. Plus it has a built in massager to soothe and relax you. Click here to find out more about getting a Freedom Back

like to find out more about the Freedom Back and how it can help you.

Another option is to use a back orthotic which delivers pain relief to an incredible 92% of people who try it.

What is a back orthotic? It’s simply a portable, easy to use sitting device that prevents poor posture and the back pain cause by poor posture.

The orthotic gently tilts your pelvis forward so your spine is in a neutral position.

One of the reasons poor posture creates back pain is because when you sit improperly the muscles in your back and around your spine have to hold up your body weight. And that‟s not what they were designed to do.

Your body weight should be supported by your skeletal structure.

A back orthotic works wonders because it takes your body weight off of the muscles designed to support your spine and transfers it back to your bones where it‟s supposed to be.

Folks who try it love it:

“The BackJoy fixed me up when doctors came up with no solution for me.”

“After I sat on any chair, hard or soft, I could hardly walk for a while when I stood up. No doctors could come up with a solution, but then I tried The BackJoy, and it’s really fixed me up. The BackJoy is really a joy!” Mary Colbert

Decompress Your Spine

Did you know you are about 1cm taller in the morning than you are in the evening?

It’s true. Measure your height in the morning and again at night before going to bed and you‟ll see you lost about one-centimeter of height during the day.

Every day you “shrink” a full centimeter and then “grow” taller again at night.

This cycle of expansion and contraction happens every day, 365 days a year, every year of your life.

Think of it like a daily freeze-and-thaw cycle for your spine. And it contributes to all kinds of back and spine problems.

From the moment you were born, gravity has been working on your spine. And while gravity is great for making sure you don‟t get flung off the planet, it puts pressure and stress on all of your muscles, bones, joints and ligaments.

And because the way your spine is structured it takes the most abuse.

The combination of gravity and muscle imbalances shove your vertebrae together, pressing on your discs.

The inner core of your discs is made of a jelly-like substance that acts like a shock-absorber for your spine. It gives you both flexibility and cushioning while you are sitting, standing or exercising.

During your day-to-day activities, gravity squeezes fluid out of your discs into adjacent soft tissue. With less fluid between the discs your vertebrae get compressed closer together causing you to “shrink‟… and sometimes pinching a nerve causing sciatic nerve or other pain.

Great news if you have a herniated or bulging disc …

“Just the slightest increase in the spaces between your spinal discs can be enough to allow a herniated or bulging disc to pop back into place.”

At night when you‟re lying down and sleeping (remember: your body repairs itself when you sleep deeply) some of the fluid goes back into your discs.

But not all of the fluid soaks back in between your discs.

When your vertebrae get squeeze closer and closer together if they pinch or pressure your nerve roots, guess what happens? Right! It hurts – a lot!

Worse, a lot of times the pressure on your discs is not distributed evenly so sooner or later you start to develop spinal conditions.

Your discs bulge, or herniate, damaging your spine and can condemn you to a life of unexplained pain.

Self-Massage: How to Find and “De-Activate” Trigger-Points In Your Muscles

You’re going to love this.

Do you know how good it feels when you get a massage and someone finds that perfect spot where they press and all of your muscle-tension and pain just melts away?

It feels amazing, right? Well, today I‟m going to show you how to find those spots yourself!

So you get the deep, tension and pain-relieving massage on demand, whenever you want it (without spending a fortune on a visit to the masseuse).

Ok, so let’s talk about these knots in your muscles.

These spots can cause your headaches … neck & jaw pain … back pain … joint pain … even numbness in your hands and feet. These tiny knots that form in your muscles – and are the source of so many types of pain – are known as “trigger points.”

These trigger points tighten your muscles and contribute heavily to your muscles imbalances.

First discovered by President John F. Kennedy‟s personal physician, trigger points in muscles are increasingly becoming recognized as the cause of up 75% of muscle and tissue pain. Seventy-five percent! These dime-sized landmines in your muscles cause your muscles to tighten and shorten. And because they tighten your muscles they start to change the way your body moves.

They limit the movement in one muscle causing it to weaken over time. Often when we find someone who is having a problem getting rid of one last aspect of their muscle imbalances and back pain it‟s because they have trigger points that are left unaddressed.

When you deactivate them you feel better instantly.

You’ve probably experienced trigger point pain before – here’s how to tell for sure …

Have you ever tried to rub a sore, painful muscle and no matter what you did you couldn‟t quite “get” to the painful spot?

Those are trigger points!

It‟s called “referred pain” and it‟s when the real cause of the pain is a point in the muscle but you FEEL the pain several inches away – so you can never quite find the perfect spot to massage.

Three signs you’ve found a trigger point in your muscles

Using your fingers, probe your muscles for spots that are harder than the surrounding tissue.

Three easy to identify signs you’ve found a trigger point are:

1. Your trigger points will be firm under pressure.

2. When you press on them you will feel your aches or pains more intensely.

3. Moderate pressure on the spot creates local tenderness – with referral sensations to other parts of your muscles –like tingling, aching, sharp-pain or numbness

The Basic Treatment for Trigger Points

The simplest technique is to first, relax the muscle as much as possible. Otherwise you’re fighting the treatment. Next, press firmly down on the trigger point and hold. The trick is to apply SUSTAINED pressure.

Do it long enough, about 1 minute, and you‟ll “deactivate” the trigger point and all of a sudden your pain and tension will melt away.

Now the absolute best way to treat trigger points at home is to get The Trigger Point Self-Treatment System. It’s the perfect tool massage away those painful spots and give your muscles deep, lasting relief. Click here to find out more about the Trigger Point Self-Treatment System

Pain Reducer Five

Use back support when you’re sitting

What shape is your spine in right now?

Are you sitting so your spine is shaped like a “C”? With your shoulders bent a little forward over your hips?

Did you just sit up a little straighter? Most people do when I ask that question.

Why? Because you know what good posture is and you know one of the most important things you can do to protect your back is maintain good posture.

And even though you know you should have good posture, and you know good posture is when your spine takes on an “S” shape NOT a “C” shape …

… you still probably sit with bad posture more often than not.

Mostly because if your muscles weren’t trained from the time you were a child to sit with perfect posture, then your muscles have been trained for decades to sit with poor posture. This is called muscle memory.

And the only time you sit up straight is when you remember to (which is probably less than 1% of the time you spend sitting).

For many people, even when they try to sit with “perfect” posture, they can‟t because their muscles have weakened or tightened to make it difficult to do on their own.

You sit for hours every day: you sit in your car or truck … you sit at your desk … you sit when you eat … you sit to relax while watching TV …

… and every time you sit down your posture puts a strain on your back and increases your back pain!

For many people, even when they try to sit with “perfect” posture, they can’t because their muscles have weakened or tightened so much over time making it difficult to do on their own.

Worse, sitting with poor posture contributes to muscle imbalances and physical dysfunctions in your body so your back pain will get worse overtime if you never do anything about your posture.

A poor seated posture can cause your hip flexors to tighten and shorten over time and weaken the muscles in your behind (making it weak and a flabby).

The imbalance will pull your pelvis and spine into an unnatural position and lead to unnecessary back pain.

Resting Your Body and Mind

Think back to a day when you were stressed, tense and anxious – do you remember feeling how tight the muscles in your neck and shoulders were?

In today’s world it’s almost impossible to find anyone who is not a ball of stress, tension and anxiety.

But if you let it, your body has an amazing power to heal itself. You just need to give yourself the rest, relaxation and sleep you need.

A good “formula” to remember is: Rest + Relaxation + Sleep = Recovery

Getting enough rest during your day

Take breaks during the day – if you sit all day then stand up and stretch… if you‟re on your feet all day find a few minutes to get off your feet.

Stretch a little or take a power nap for 15-30 minutes. Try and find whatever works for you and fits into your daily routine but make a point of giving yourself a break at least a couple of times a day.

Daily relaxation methods:

Because we’re so stressed these days it’s even more important to take the time to unwind. And I don’t mean just sitting in front of the television; instead take the time to truly relax your body and your mind. A few ideas: sitting quietly on your porch, meditating, do yoga or tai-chi or lie on the beach if you can.

A great relaxation method you can do anywhere is a simple breathing exercise:

GET INTO POSITION: Sit somewhere comfortable and quiet. Make sure to sit with your back straight, don‟t force yourself to sit too straight, just sit with your back naturally upright. Let your hands fall in your lap or rest on your thighs. Close your eyes.

THE EXERCISE: Focus your mind lightly on your nostrils and simply feel the air pass through your nose when you inhale, then feel the air pass out as you exhale.

Breathe naturally, don’t try to breathe deep or force your breathe in anyway. Just notice the air as you breathe in, and notice the air as you breathe out.

Breathe in, breathe out. And notice that between your inhale and exhale there is a slight gap and just be aware of it as you breathe. Feel your body expand with each breathe in and contract with each breathe out.

It’s that simple. But if you do if for 15-20 minutes you’ll feel wonderfully rejuvenated. Do it for an hour and you‟ll be amazed at how much energy you have all-day long.

How to get enough good sleep:

Most of the “repair work” your body does happens during your deep sleep. And if you‟re not getting enough of that deep sleep you short-circuit your body’s efforts to heal itself.

How much sleep does your body need? Everyone is a little different but the healthy range is 6-9 hours of sleep a night.

Three Ways to Get Better Sleep

Warm feet means swift sleep. Wear socks to bed. Socks? Yes, socks. Your feet have the poorest circulation in your body and cold feet have been tied to waking up at night. A Swiss sleep laboratory study found if your feet are warmer than room-temperature you fall asleep faster.

This is what to eat several hours before bed. Eat high-protein snacks (but not grains, see below) because they give you the L- tryptophan you need to produce the melatonin and serotonin that improve sleep.

Use a NATURAL sleep aid. If getting enough sleep is really a problem for you consider a natural sleep aid. They’re safe and full of ingredients proven to help you get deeper, more restful sleep. Click here if you want to try one for free. NOTE: They don’t work for everyone because we all have a unique body-chemistry, that’s why we suggest you try the free-bottle if you’re interested in trying this.

Three things to avoid right before bed because they make it harder to get a good night’s rest:

Don’t eat right before bed. Especially anything with a lot of sugar or grains. Why? Because when your body comes off the “sugar high‟ caused by both sugar and grains your blood sugar drops too low and can wake you up. Plus, it‟ll be harder to get back to sleep with lowered blood sugar.

Don’t watch TV right before sleeping. It really stimulates your brain and can disrupt your pineal function making it really hard to fall asleep. If you have a television in your bedroom and are having trouble sleeping, you should seriously consider moving the TV to another room.

Don’t drink caffeine or alcohol. Drinking coffee in the afternoon will continue to affect many people well into the night and make it harder to fall asleep. While alcohol makes people drowsy, that drowsiness doesn’t last very long and you often wake up several hours later and can’t get back to sleep. Plus, alcohol stops you from getting into the deeper stages of sleep where all the healing takes place.

Harvard Medical SchoolandThe New England Journal of Medicinehave reasons to consider Heal-N-Soothe completely unrelated to back and muscle pain (we’re talking life-saving good reasons)…

Inflammation in your body poses much more serious health dangers than justmaking your muscles ache more. The evidence shows inflammation really does wreck havoc on your body …

The New England Journal of Medicine published a study showing “convincing evidence that inflammation is strongly linked to heart attacks and stroke.”

A Harvard study went further, saying that “half of all heart attacks are caused by inflammation.”

And it’s not just heart attacks and strokes you have to worry about from inflammation. A study published in the The Annals of Neurology concluded, “inflammation is linked to Alzheimer’s and other dementing diseases.”

Pain Reducer Two:

Exercises to avoid

What exercises should you avoid if you have back pain?

The short answer is: all of them until you identify what physical dysfunctions are contributing to your pain. Why? Because unless you understand which dysfunctions are contributing to or causing your back pain any exercises you do can make the problem worse.

In the next section of this guide we’ll go over the basic assessment you’ll need to do (it’s easy) to identify some of the underlying “hidden” causes of your back pain.

Obviously, exercising is a critical part of living a healthy life. But if you’re in a lot of pain you need to slow down or even stop exercising for a while as you identify the underlying contributing causes to your pain.

Basically, the first rule of dealing with back-pain is the same as the first rule of medicine: “Do No Harm.”

The muscle imbalances and dysfunctions contributing heavily to the pain your body is experiencing developed over the years based on your activities … which muscles you naturally favor when you move … what sports you played over the years … what injuries you sustained in the past … how you sit …. where you feel pain in your body and more.

Until you identify exactly which muscle imbalances you have you can’t tell which activities you’re doing are contributing the most to your pain or which activities could be helping reduce your pain.

Exercising improperly for your particular body and dysfunction could very easily make you hurt more. That’s one reason we offer the Lose the Back Pain system on a 100% RISK FREE basis – so you can do a FULL assessment to correctly identify your own dysfunctions and get a personalized treatment plan for fixing them. (You‟ll learn more about it later in this guide.)

Back Pain Relief – What Are The Best Back Pain Relief Techniques part 3

If you have a back condition you probably suffer from BOTH types of pain. If you have sciatica, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, scoliosis or some other condition you‟re pain is probably “mixed pain”.You have BOTH tissue-pain caused by inflammation in your muscles and soft-tissue that causes nerve-pain by exerting pressure on your nerves (sciatica is a perfect example of this).

If you injured your back the pain you’re feeling is almost all inflammation related. Because inflammation is your body‟s natural reaction to trauma. And at the age of 25 your body started to slow production of the enzymes that fight inflammation – which is why when you sprained your ankle at 15 it healed in a couple of weeks but at 45 it can take months to heal.

First though, think about your own back-pain for a second.

Do your back muscles hurt? If so, your pain is definitely caused to some degree by inflammation. To get rid of your pain you‟ll have to first, get rid of the inflammation and second, get rid of any ongoing causes of inflammation.

Do you feel a lot of nerve-pain? Things like, shooting lines of pain, burning, numbness, pinching tend to be nerve-pain. But guess what? Often the pressure and pinching of the nerve is because the surrounding tissue is inflamed and expanded!

That‟s why the study found soft-tissue inflammation in 80% of back-pain sufferers. Because even when your pain is caused by damage to nerves in your spine some of the pain you feel is a result of inflammation in the surrounding tissue.

To get lasting pain relief you need to address the things in your body causing your muscle-related pain and causing your nerve-related pain.

Inflammation is a response from your immune system in response to an irritant. For example, if you sprain your ankle, your immune system creates a protein called a Circulating Immune Complex (CIC for short). The CIC travels down to the injured ankle and causes pain and swelling.

The pain you feel is to inform you of the injury

or damage. And the swelling is protective as it prevents you from moving it and causing more irritation.

This is also your body’s way of running to the problem with fresh blood, antibodies and vital cells in order to begin healing and repairing the damage.

Then what normally happens is our bodies produce proteolytic enzymes which counteract the inflammation, and things return to normal. That’s why a sprained ankle as a young child heals within a few weeks at most, but can take six weeks or more for an adult of say 45.

The problem is, after around age 25, our production of these enzymes drops off almost completely so there is nothing to tell the body to stop the inflammation. These enzymes are also responsible for cleaning the blood, fighting off viral and bacterial infections and breaking down excess fibrin (scar tissue).

“WOW! Huge difference — I stopped taking painkillers!”

“All I can say is a big WOW and thank you. I have only been taking them for 4 or 5 days, but have noticed an huge difference. I stopped taking my strong painkillers, Co Codemal (the strongest) and Dihydrocodine, which I was taking every day and the full limit allowed in a day. I feel “almost” normal again.”

From a very very grateful,

Angela Jaggs (England, UK)

“My pain and inflammation went down in just 2 days!”

“I have been taking Heal-n-SootheTM, for 3 weeks now. I must say at first I was very skeptical. I was thinking ‘How can this really help if my medication the doctor gave me does not work??!’ But sometimes you reach a point or a day where the pain is so bad, that you will try anything… So I did.

“After about 2-3 days on the activation dose, I noticed reduced inflammation, and my pain in my leg reduced. I’m a believer that you ‘Can’t put a price on your health’.”

–Dan Monahan, England

“Rah! Rah! I’m 57 with osteoarthritis and a cervical neck fusion. I was in horrible pain and now I look forward to another day! Thanks again!”

“I’m 57 with osteoarthritis and a cervical neck fusion I was in horrible pain and now I look forward to another day. I was not sure these pain free capsules would work. Rah! Rah! Jesse. I find it hard to believe that all the prescription medicine and pain management shots did not work as well as this product. Even my Fibromyalgia is better. Thanks again.”

Back Pain Relief – What Are The Best Back Pain Relief Techniques part 2

If you’ve experienced big changes in your appetite – either not wanting to eat much or suddenly eating much more often and gaining weight …

If you’re not sleeping well at night or feeling sluggish and irritable and your ability to concentrate isn‟t what it should be …

If you’re finding yourself having feelings of guilt or worthlessness ..

One study found that up to 82% of chronic back pain sufferers show signs of some form of depression. And when you put the two together, chronic back pain and depression, absolutely destroys your quality of life.

It’s easy to see how it happens …

1. Your back pain makes it hard for you to sleep at night so you spend most of your days tired and irritable.

2. Your social life is destroyed because back pain makes moving around hard and painful which makes you spend a lot of time at home alone.

3. You might even develop financial problems because your back pain makes it hard for you to work.

4. You might try expensive pain medications that make you tired, dull- minded or cause other health problems.

5. Sex all but disappears from your life because of the pain.

In one systemic study on back pain they discovered 42% of patients experienced the onset of depression first, then their back pain started. 58% of the patients experienced depression after their back pain flared up. Depression and back pain are linked at the hip – whether depression comes first or second if you have chronic back pain you’re at extreme risk for depression.

THE GOOD NEWS: In 15 years of working with over 60,000 back pain sufferers I’ve never found a patient whose back pain couldn‟t be eliminated or virtually eliminated where they got rid of 90% of their pain.

The only people who can’t be helped are the folks who’ve decided not to let us help them.

Wishing you fast and permanent pain relief,

Jesse Cannone The Healthy Back Institute Eight Pain Reducers For Faster Pain Relief

Ways to deal with the pain while you’re starting your personalized treatment program:

I’ve learned over the years after working with and helping over 50,000 back-pain sufferers, with every condition known to medicine and major traumatic injuries, that there are three things back-pain sufferers need to address to live pain free:

1. You need to learn how to reduce acute pain quickly when it flares up.

2. You need to get rid of the underlying root cause of pain (this goes deeper than simply fixing a diagnosed back condition as you‟ll see in a few minutes)

3. You need to address the emotional and mental factors that increase pain.

For some people the only treatment they ever need is the muscle balance therapy system we give you in Lose The Back Pain, for other, more severe cases, muscle balance therapy gets them 90% of the way and they need to try a handful of additional treatments to live pain free.

I‟ll explain how muscle imbalances and physical dysfunctions are a major contributor and cause of back pain in the second section of this guide.

But first I want to go over several pain-reduction strategies and treatments for acute pain that you can use right now to start feeling better, faster.

One big word of caution: Don‟t overlook the simple things.

Over and over again I’ve found that people suffer through chronic pain needlessly because they aren’t taking good basic care of their bodies. And some of the fastest reductions in pain can come from something as simple as strategy number three below.

Pain Reducer One:

The FIRST THING you MUST do if you have back pain is to control inflammation in your body. Here’s why …

Studies have shown inflammation is the #1 cause of pain in your body. Now, let me make this clear. Inflammation is NOT the underlying cause of all of your back pain – but it IS the major mechanism in your body that causes you to experience pain.

You have tissue inflammation if you have upper or lower back pain …

You have tissue inflammation if you have serious back conditions like upper & lower back pain, sciatica pain, herniated discs, scoliosis, arthritis or other conditions …

And you have tissue inflammation if you’ve injured your back in an accident, playing sports, or through a lifetime of hard, physical work …

Every part of your body where you feel pain in your muscles you can be pretty sure you have tissue inflammation …

Inflammation is the #1 pain-causing mechanism in your body. So the first thing I recommend you do if you want to quickly get rid of your acute pain is to cut down the excess inflammation in your body. Then we can start to address the underlying causes of your back pain.

A new back-pain study published in The American Journal of Roentgenology found 80% of back-pain sufferers experienced soft-tissue inflammation in and around their spine.

This is a critical point if you‟re suffering from any type of back pain. Because there are ONLY two basic physiological types of pain: tissue-pain and nerve-pain.

On Managing pain with drugs

————————————————————————

Alternative Healing Therapies for Back Pain Relief have helped folks who have suffered with serious back problems and back conditions for 10 …15 … up to 50 years finally get lasting pain relief.

These are folks who’ve been failed by doctors, chiropractors, surgeons and physical therapists but suddenly found pain relief right in the comfort of their own homes!

It’s surprising but true.

Name the condition: scoliosis … herniated discs … sciatica … fibromyalgia … stenosis of the spine … piriformis syndrome … spinal arthritis … low back pain … upper back pain … neck pain … even folks who ‟suffered from up to four or five of these conditions and problems at once…

… and we’ve helped people who‟ sustained serious back injuries: from car accidents … sporting injuries … accidents and work injuries… ALL eliminate or drastically reduce their pain by 90% or more, often in just 2 days; but usually in about 2-3 weeks.

We‟re not talking about a few hundred “lucky” back-pain sufferers here either. Over 60,000 people, in countries all over the world, have experienced this miracle.

And they’ve done it without prescription medications, expensive equipment or home- visits from therapists of any kind.

They simply went through the same process you’re going through right now- they found our website online, requested this guide and embraced the Lose The Back Pain System.

Here at The Healthy Back Institute we specialize in helping folks who’ve “tried it all” to get rid of their back-pain with no success. We’ve found most people continue to suffer from back pain for years for several reasons:

1. They are given one-size-fits-all treatments. But your body is unique and so is the specific cause of pain in your body. So you need a unique treatment program that targets your pain…

2. They are told to rely on band-aid treatments that only treat the symptoms of back pain and do nothing to address the underlying causes.. Jesse Canonne Co-founder, The Healthy Back Institute.

3. No one ever explains the FULL cycle of pain in their lives – from the physical to the emotional aspect to the dietary or day-to-day contributors to pain.

If you‟ve tried everything else and none of it has worked you’re about to finally get relief.

Our approach is different from everything you’ve seen before because it starts by assessing specific underlying “often hidden” causes of your body’s pain. Only then can you get your personalized treatment system to target the precise needs of your body. In this guide you’re getting …

Eight pain-reducers to help you get immediate pain relief and avoid causing yourself additional pain. I‟ll even send you a FREE BOTTLE of our best selling back pain relief supplement, Heal-n-Soothe because it reduces and removes the #1 cause of pain in your body.

You also get in this guide the basic self-assessment system we use here at The Healthy Back Institute so you can identify the underlying sources of your back pain (this easy self-assessment is life-changing for many folks because it shows you a clear path to getting rid of your pain).

Once you get through the basic self-assessment and go through your Eight pain reducers and you still want more help getting rid of your back pain I’ll show you the Lose The Back Pain System we’ve used to helped over 60,000 back pain sufferers just like you around the world.

Please read this Back Pain Relief Guide carefully because severe DEPRESSION is the #1 emotion associated with chronic back pain

If you have chronic back pain and don’t find a way to get rid of it or reduce it you’re at risk for major depression on daily basis for weeks at a time.

If you find you’re already suffering signs of depression then you need a real solution to your back problems now. Common signs of depression include …

If you’ve been feeling sad, hopeless, irritable or depressed most of your days for weeks at a time …

If you’re losing interest in the activities you normally enjoy … or your sex drive has dropped dramatically.
