Lower Back Pain - Find Permanent Relief

Lower back pain now affects more than 80% of people at some stage in their life. It is very common for people to have recurring bouts of back pain throughout their life. This is usually because the root cause of the back pain is never treated properly. Common medical treatments normally only provide short term relief.

Lower back pain is often treated with short term solutions such as chiropractic adjustment, painkillers, back braces, inversion tables, strengthening exercises or the wrong stretches. By by using these short term treatments and not treating the cause of the problem the damage to the back and pain continues and the quality of life of the victim is severely affected.

The cause of the lower back pain can be damage to any of the components of the body in the lower back region. It could be damage to nerves in the spine area, or the invertebrate discs, or the spinal bone structure or any of the muscles and ligaments that attach to and support the spine.

The cause of the damage to these components is often found in an area we don't often look. It is in how we use our body every day. Due the westernization of our society we have adopted poor body use habits. Examples of these are sitting at a computer all day or driving a truck all day. Our bodies are designed to squat, run and jump. If we don't do this, the muscles and ligaments in our body change length and become shorter and tight. This pulls our body all crooked and out of alignment. And then we get pain.

The solution is to treat the root cause of the problem. To do this we need to re-learn good body use habits. When we do this the ways we move every day will no longer damage our body. Once we stop damaging the body that is only the first step. Step two is to treat the damage that has already occurred and step three is to strengthen the weak muscles and lengthen our short muscles so the pain never returns.
