Back Pain Treatment

Back pain is pain in any region of the back. It is divided into neck pain (cervical), middle back pain (thoracic), lower back pain(lumbar) or coccydynia (tailbone or sacral pain) based on the segment affected .The lumbar area is the most common area for pain, as it supports most of the weight in the upper body.

Episodes of back pain may be acute, sub-acute, or chronic depending on the duration. The pain may be characterised as a dull ache, shooting or piercing pain, or a burning sensation. Discomfort can radiate into the arms and hands as well as the legs or feet, and may include numbness,or weakness in the legs and arms.

Understanding Lower Back Pain:

The lower spine is one of the keys to low back pain. It’s made up of:

• The bones of the lower spine, including the lumbar and sacral vertebrae
• Discs cushioning tissue between the vertebrae
• Nerves and spinal cord
• Muscles and ligaments

Low back pain might begin as acute due to an injury but can become chronic.

• Dull aching pain in lower back accompanied by mild or severe muscles spasms &decreased range of motion
• Sometimes low back pain includes a sharp ,tingling ,shooting pain that can radiate down the thighs to the leg and feet
• Pain worsens during sitting
• Pain that feels better while changing  positions
• Inability to stand up straight without pain

Primary reason for Upper Back, Mid Back & Low Back pain is musculo-skeletal imbalances. Hip misalignment causes severe musculo-skeletal pain and compensation resulting in Disc prolapse, Spinal stenosis, Sacro-iliac joint dysfunction resulting in Pain.

Generally the current medical methods focus on reducing the pain, but these back pain treatment do not eliminate the underlying source of pain. The exact cause of back pain is never found in up to 85% of cases and often the diagnosed “cause” of back pain is the most obvious structural damage that can be seen on an X-ray or MRI, but is often not the actual cause of the pain and can lead to unnecessary and possibly harmful surgeries and other interventions.

MRI’s and especially which radiologist reads the MRI, have been shown to be inconsistent and full of errors (source) MRI’s also do not determine the cause of the pain (source) but only show structural damage that could be unrelated to the pain.Herniated discs have the ability to reabsorb without surgery (source and source) and non-indicated, early MRIs provide no benefit and worse outcomes are likely (source). The medical model must be missing something.

Back pain can be incredibly frustrating, and going under the knife may seem like the quickest, easiest fix to bring relief. But the truth is, very few people need surgery to manage their back pain.
