My Back Hurts

You're not alone.

Back pain would have to be able the most common body system dysfunction there is.

More likely than not you're in pain because your body is out of alignment - or your muscles aren't strong enough to support your spinal column.

The pain is telling you to get back into alignment and become stronger.

This is not rocket surgery!

The common pathway that people treat when they have back pain is
  • traipse off to the surgery
  • traipse off to the radiologist
  • traipse over to the chemist
  • traipse off to the masseur, the physio or the chiro at great expense and an inordinate amount of time.
Most doctors don't have a clue about the cause of back pain. Most of the leading medical research organisations don't have a clue either. That's because it's a fitness problem, not a medical problem.

The doctor will send you over to the radiologist for an X-Ray.

The X-Ray will be well nigh useless. In those cases where you've got a bulging disk it will indeed indicate that you have a bulging disk. Hello! What it won't do is provide you with information about what's caused the bulging disk.

So it's back to the doctor who after wracking his brain writes out the prescription you're expecting and sends you over to the chemist for a pill to mask the pain. Surprisingly that me be useful. For a lot of people the pain gradually goes away in a few weeks. But likely as not it will return at some time in the future - out of the blue.

You may end up on the plinth attended by the masseur, physio or chiro. The treatment may be useful. Rehab of this nature may be palliative - as in providing temporary relief of the pain. It may also speed up the rehab process. In fact that's the main benefit of the rub down, the crunch and the electric shock treatment.

The rehab process

However the most effective treatment in the rehab process will be the exercises you do yourself. You can't subcontract your exercise program out to your therapist or your chemist. You have to do it yourself.

In the book 'Fix Back Pain' I'll show you some of the key exercises you need to do to key your body back in alignment.

I also have an online diagnostic service.

I also recommend you go to a gym three times a week for a general strength training program.

In the meantime stay tuned, highly tuned and remember very few people got fitter or healthier in a surgery.

HOW STRONG ARE YOU?

How Strong Are you? If you're not getting stronger you're getting weaker.

I see a lot of people who complain about a sore back, neck or shoulders. Most of them don't have a strength training program.

It's hard to keep your body in good alignment if you don't have a good strength training program.

At www.globalbackcare.com I outline two ways you can improve the strength of your musculo-skeletal ecosystem - and an ecosystem it is, with muscles in one part of your body working to align or misalign bones in another part.

(This is the revolutionary principle on which the Fix Back, Neck and Shoulder Pain ebooks are based.)

TWO WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR STRENGTH

1. You can improve your strength in the gym. At www.globalbackcare.com I show you a simple, time efficient program containing the key exercises you need to do to get your body back into alignment.


2. You can also improve your strength at home.

I'll let you in on a secret; start doing situps, pressups and squats. If you're diligent you'll be able to do more in a month's time than you can do now.

You can learn more about these programs by getting a copy of the Fix Back, Neck and Shoulder Pain ebooks on this link to www.globalbackcare.com

You'll be able to make an assessment of how strong you are.

In the mean time, stay tuned, highly tuned and remember a big problem could have been solved easily when it was a small problem.

How to help back pain with a 10 minute exercise program

10 Minute exercise program for Back Pain, Neck Pain and Shoulder Pain

10 minute breaks

Working sitting down in an office can be a dangerous occupation, particularly when it comes to back, neck and shoulder pain.

When you sit down all day muscles become weaker and tighter.

In particular, as your hamstring and buttock muscles become tighter, your pelvis is pulled backwards and out of alignment; you lose the nice 'S' shape of your spinal column. It becomes a 'C' shape.

Bones in your vertebrae get taken out of alignment all the way up to your head.

You feel the pain in ligaments, tendons and muscles. Eventually discs get pinched, the gel squeezes out and hits your spinal column.

When that happens it hurts to sneeze and cough. Yourre in constant pain.

You rush off to a therapist for a rub down, ray lamp, crunch and an electric shock, usually at the spot where it hurts.

You come away with a warm feeling under your shirt but a few days later the pain has come back; you're not getting stronger or looser.

One of the things you can do to prevent this from happening – and to restore poor function to good if it's already happened - is to spend 10 minutes at work every day doing some of the exercises outlined in the Fix Back, Neck and Shoulder Pain ebooks.

The books cost less than half the price of a trip to your therapist.

The 10 minutes of exercises doesn't cost anything at all. It's a lasting investment.

In the mean time, stay tuned, highly tuned and remember, nothing was ever achieved without effort.
