Back Pain Causes and
Natural Back Pain Relief

Have you ever been walking along the sidewalk and spotted a dime and debated with yourself about whether to stoop and pick it up?
Not withstanding a dime these days isn't worth what it used to be, but is it even worth taking the risk of "throwing your back out" again? How about a five or ten dollar bill? Do you need to calculate the risk/gain equasion, before bending?

Are those moans and groans coming from you - when you get up from a chair or the sofa ?

Do you choose your shoe style based on whether you can slip them on instead of bending to lace them up?

Do you spend hours at a desk or hunched over in front of your computer screen ?

Hint - I put a mirror on one wall in my office - vanity ? - no, I need to check my posture You'd be surprised to catch a glimpse of yourself after even 15 minutes or so. Shoulders begin to slump and head begins to droop forward, spine starts to curve.

You might be one of millions of people who suffer with chronic lower back pain.You are in very good company whether you like it or not. A very large majority of people today will develop back problems at some time during their lives. It's estimated that over 80% of the population will suffer with back pain at some point in their life.

Chronic back pain is debilitating and can lead to other problems. It can affect many areas of your life and lead to restrictions of many of your favorite activities as well as your work and job performance.

The stress of back pain can have a negative impact on your relationships with friends - family and even your favorite pet. It's next to impossible to feel up to even a quick jaunt with "Rocky" if you are in the throes of agony or afraid you might take a mis-step that can send you reeling with pain.

Back pain can take it's toll on you emotionally as well, as you continue to experience pain and it shows no sign of letting up - you may become depressed or dis-heartened thinking the situation will never end.

There are many factors which can lead to chronic back pain :

• Poor physical condition (out of shape)
• Being overweight
• Intestinal Problems
• Acute toxic bowel
• Getting older
• Type of job you have
• Poor posture
• Smoking
• Structural abnormalities
• Arthritis
• Pregnancy
• Stress
• Kidney problems
• Infections

Some of the things you can do to help yourself strengthen - protect and relieve your back pain are:

• Use your "Rebounder" and do the gentle
  no impact "health bounce"
• Walking
• Mild stretching exercises
• Maintain a more healthy weight level
• Improve your posture - remember Mom saying "Sit up straight!" ? She was right!
• Minimize heavy lifting and lift even the smallest items the proper way
• Be sure to get plenty of Calcium and
• Vitamin D
• Use the "Therapad" (see below)
• Good healthy diet
• Nutritional supplements for optimal cell renewal

Acute Back pain - (sudden onset) usually starts very quickly and lasts from 4 to 6 weeks. This can be helped by all natural pain relief products and will usually resolve by itself. Keep in mind why the episode happened in the first place and ask yourself if any of the above reasons apply. Then you can begin to do the things you need to do to see that you never find yourself in the same situation again.

Chronic back pain is very common and it is harder to pin down the exact cause. Each person is different and there is a wide range of reasons you may be suffering. Even IBS and toxic bowel and other digestive or intestinal problems can be a factor in contributing to lower back pain.

Strong abdominal muscles are not just for good looks. Your abdominal muscles play an important role in supporting your back. If they are weak - they will allow your spine to dip and curve outward creating an un-natural forward curve sometimes referred to as "Sway back". This will put stress and pressure on the back and all it's supporting structures, including muscles - nerves, etc.

If you address all the possible causes and have ruled out everything else, i.e. you're not overweight, you exercise diligently, you have a good healthy diet, etc...

Then structural abnormalities are something to consider. I have "Scoliosis" an abnormality of the spine that causes the spinal column to twist and curve. The amount of curving and/or twisting is different in each person dealing with this condition. The curving or twisting can occur at any point along the spine including the neck and you can have this curve and/or twisting in more than one area.

I was told I would need to use a cane by the time I hit my forties - but this was merely a prognosis. ( Something an Orthopedist after seeing similar conditions, feels free to predict will happen.) But "predictions" don't have to be fulfilled, you can thwart even the most dire prognosis with a positive "can do" attitude and information.

Chiropractic therapy is something you may want to consider and a good qualified Chiropractor can be very helpful. Ask your friends and relatives if they can recommend someone. That way you will get a candid opinion and it may help you to choose someone you would feel comfortable and confident using.

Proper nutrition and diet - proper exercise and some helpful supplements and useful tools, such as the "Rebounder" and the "Therapad" can all work together to put your back - back into good shape again and speed the healing process.

With patience and focus you'll be back to doing all the things you love to do.

Most people, even those with chronic back pain don't need to have surgery.

*In a study to find the perfect mattress to help relieve chronic back pain, it was found that the participants, who suffered with lower back pain - interrupted the process of the study - the research program was halted because people could not sleep on their assigned mattresses.

The findings tell us that it is much more important to get a good night's sleep on whatever mattress suits your particular notion of comfort. A restful healing good refreshing sleep is more important than searching for the perfect "Back Support Mattress".

The first thing we do if we begin to experience lower back pain is to take activated charcoal several times a day along with a "Pepto tablet". I know it sounds so simple - but a toxic inflamed bowel can be the culprit in some of these situations.

When your bowel becomes irritated, from whatever the cause, it can become inflamed. Pain and swelling of the bowel will follow. The inflammation and swelling can put pressure on the sensitive nerves in this region and thus you can start to have lower back pain. Some people can experience "Sciatic" pain as well. With the pain extending to one side or the other and down the leg.

When we feel that low aching feeling. We start with the activated charcoal , as mentioned above and perhaps add a "Pepto tab". These two things - along with the healing far-infrared heat of the "Therapad" will usually begin to make a good start on our back pain relief, if a toxic or inflamed bowel is the cause.

* The far infrared waves from the TheraPad change the electrical charge, of damaged cells, (found in clinical studies - to be a cause of back pain) from an unhealthy negative to a healthy positive almost instantly.

* The far infrared waves make the synovial fluid in joints healthier. Joints are lubricated and nourished by synovial fluid. Synovial fluid contains an enzyme. If this enzyme is out of control, the fluid actually works to damage cartilage in the joints. The far infrared heat emitted by the TheraPad infrared heating pad helps balance the enzyme in synovial fluid so it will not cause harm bringing relief to back pain.
