Here’s the simple system that MUST be followed if you are looking for real, long-term, lasting relief:

1. Identify the cause – nearly all of the treatments people receive for back pain only focus on the symptoms and the health care professionals zoom in on only the problem area. The real key in eliminating back pain is to find out exactly what’s causing the problem… and most of the time it’s not even the back!

2. Address both the cause and the symptom – the best approach is a combination of treating the symptoms for pain relief while also addressing the underlying cause.

3. Be aware – many people suffering from back pain are not in tune with their bodies and during their treatment they do not realize what is working and what is not. In order to achieve long-term relief you have to understand how your body works, what’s causing the problem, and what changes have to be made to correct it.

4. Consistent Focused Action – achieving success in anything requires consistency and focused action. Most people with back pain won’t make the time to work on their problem each day… instead they take pain killers which mask the pain and allow them to cause more damage while they continue with their life.

5. Don’t do what doesn’t work – we already know that most traditional treatments for back pain don’t work…. why waste your time, energy, and money? The real key to eliminating back pain is to identify the true cause of the pain and then address it with a combination of treatments to treat both the cause and symptoms. Over 80% of all back pain is caused by muscle imbalances… NOT a lack of pain killers or surgery! Find out what’s going on in your body and take action.

The world doesn’t stop for back pain.  That means you may get a few days off because of back pain, but eventually you have to go to work.  The best thing to do is learn some office moves and positions that will keep your spine muscles from tightening and your spine from compressing.  You also want to prevent back pain as much as possible of course.

When you’re at work try doing some light spine stretching exercises throughout the day.  You don’t have to make a big scene.  You just need to do some things like forward stretches, neck rolls and some twisting moves.  You should do these exercises gently though and don’t go overboard with the twisting moves.  The goal is to keep the back limber so it doesn’t tense up.  If you need a new chair that gives low back support, you should show your boss proof you have a back problem.  Most companies go out of their way today to accommodate health problems.
