Pain... is a curious thing. It is simply stunning how much we can take. Until we can't. We put up with pain for days, or months, or years and end up trying medications, therapies, heat packs, cold packs, or more...
At some point, enough is enough.
When we have finally had it, we want to be pain-free NOW. I'm going to take a wild guess and say, if you've read this far, you've had enough with living with pain, and you need help. If this is true, then I am happy to tell you that this may be the most impactful thing you read today.
CHASING SYMPTOMS
Last year the Lancet published new research which demonstrated that medications, injections, and surgery should be your last line of defense when trying to get rid or chronic pain.
They reported:
The common approach is to use drugs to reduce inflammation, numb the pain and relax the muscles. Those professionals are failing to ask a very simple question.
Why is the inflamed, why do they hurt, why are the muscles in spasm?
When we fail to look to the cause of the problem, we cannot see the forest through the trees. Consider for a moment. An architect can look at a set of blueprints and see that a bridge is sound and is able to do its job. Your internal structure follows the same laws. Degeneration happens because the living machine is loaded wrong and moving wrong. Wear and tear are the logical and sadly, painful result.
Treatments like over the counter medications, prescription medcations, injections often provide only temporary relief because they fail to address the cause of the problem. Big Pharma has made drug manufacturing one of the most profitable industries in the world today. Keep that in mind as we go over the following.

A word from the experts.
In 2010, researchers out of the University of Cincinnati school of medicine reviewed the records from 1,450 patients in the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation database who had been diagnosed with disc degeneration or disc herniation or radiculopathy, which is a nerve condition that causes pain or tingling or weakness in the legs.
Half of the patients had surgery that fused together two or more lower back bones in the hopes of curing low back pain. The other half with the exact same problem had no surgery.
The study's lead author stated:
"Lumbar fusion for the diagnoses of disc degeneration, disc herniation, and/or radiculopathy in a Workers' Compensation setting is associated with significant increase in disability, opiate use, prolonged work loss, and poor return to work status."
We’re shouting this from the rooftops folks, please consider less invasive protocols first before you permanently change the body that God gave you.
The harmful side effects and addictive qualities of these medications or the risk involved with surgery can be a dangerous course for anyone.
And the promise of a surgical cure can be pursued which has been associated with the rise of failed back surgery syndrome today.
That's why we are passionate about the non narcotic, non surgical solutions provided at Backbone Wellness Institute.
One of the main reasons MRI can miss a proper diagnosis is they are usually taken lying down. What happens when your body is standing up and underload?
At Backbone Wellness Institute we take load bearing digital X-rays where we can see in black and white any soft tissue damage and/or instability that would be missed any other way.
Using this technology we can see structural weakness, and see why a disc is deteriorating, not just that it is.
When we have a true picture of problems like, soft tissue instabilities, and a segment by segment vision of what is what is working and what is not, only then we can see where your body needs help.
Only then are we able to devise a plan of attack to fix the underlying cause of your problem. Only when your structure becomes sound, is your body able to heal itself. And when it does the results can be fantastic.
