My wife’s “back went out” … here’s what she’s doing

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

When people say back pain affects everyone, that really is the truth!

Not only did I struggle with middle back pain (and a bunch of other ailments like shoulder problems, knee pain, tendonitis) years ago before becoming an “expert” …

but my wife has also had several bouts of back pain over the years brought on initially due to a c-section birth. Well, a few days ago she had a flare up… no significant physical incident to bring it on like sneezing or picking up a heavy item, etc…

Instead, I feel that it was a combination of stress/worry about several current life situations that she/we are dealing with right now as well as some physical factors such as changes to her exercise program… she recently added running back into her program.

Anyway, not to bore you with her story, but I thought you might really benefit from the suggestions I gave her and the actions she has taken…

So, the first thing she did was rub in a few squirts of Rub on Relief … she has been applying it 2-3 times per day.

Then she jumped (not really, more like crawled) into our bed with both our large and medium size Far Infrared Heating Pads … and she has been lying on these just about every chance she gets (which isn’t much with 6 kids still at home, though I of course have stepped up to do as much as I can).

She has also been taking hot jacuzzi baths with sea salts (with magnesium) once a day… taking Heal-n-Soothe 1-2 times per day (3 capsules at a time though I’m trying to get her to up the dose – I take 6-8 at a time) to reduce the inflammation and pain.

In addition she is drinking a lot of water… increased her magnesium and vitamin D intakes (liquid supplements)… and also experimenting with various homeopathic and herbal muscle relaxants like kali carb, chamomile, valerian and others.

And last, since it seems that one of the biggest underlying causes is stress, worry, negative energy, etc, she is also spending as much time as possible relaxing… reading… laughing.

As you likely know, there are of course many other things that can be done, but this is where she’s starting and this is likely all she’ll need as she’s getting close to “back to normal”.

Anyway, I hope you found this informative and maybe it has given you a few things that you have not yet tried. I’ll be sure to keep you posted on how she’s feeling :)


At Home Sciatica Relief

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

Imagine the pain of a sharp razor blade slicing open your lower back, through your buttocks and down the back of your leg. Then again, if you suffer from sciatica, you may not need to imagine it at all.

Sciatica is not an actual condition, but describes a very real set of back and leg pain symptoms. Fortunately you can almost always reduce or completely stop sciatic pain right at home without harmful drugs or surgery.

What causes sciatica pain
The sciatic nerve is the largest single nerve in the human body. It is also the thickest at over 3/4 of an inch across. It supplies nearly the whole skin of the leg, the back thigh muscles, and other muscles down to the feet. This length is why shooting pain down one or both legs is felt when the nerve is irritated.

Sciatica symptoms are caused by one of four conditions: a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, isthmic spondylolisthesis, or most commonly piriformis syndrome where the piriformis muscle places pressure on the sciatic nerve.

Get sciatica relief right at home
In each of the four common conditions causing sciatica, muscle imbalances either directly cause or contribute to the condition behind your pain. For sciatica relief, you can follow a simple three step process in the privacy of your own home.

First, identify the cause. This involves understanding the dysfunctions present in your body and the muscle imbalances which created them. These can be identified through a series of self assessments.

Second, treat the pain symptoms. Clearly you won’t be able to correct the problem if your pain is so severe that you can’t move.

Finally, begin working on the underlying dysfunctions and muscle imbalances which caused the condition leading to sciatica. Relief that lasts requires correcting the problem, not just covering up the symptoms.
Learn more about getting at home sciatica relief including a video which shows a quick stretch you can use to stop sciatica pain from piriformis syndrome in seconds plus complete details behind the causes and treatments for sciatica.


More Sciatica Pain Sufferer’s Write About How Lose The Back Pain Got Rid of Their Pain…

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

They told me surgery was my last option.
Instead, I ordered Lose The Back Pain and
got rid of my pain in 2-days.

“Now I don’t even have to take painkillers.

“I have received the program of yours 4 days ago. After being crippled with sciatic pain in my left leg for the last year I decided I had nothing more to lose. The medical advice was that surgery is my last option. I have been doing the self-assessments and found out I had a forward tipping pelvis.

“I am doing the recommended exercises twice a day. My sciatica did subside on the 2nd day and I no longer require painkillers. I can sleep at night and function just about normally during the day.

“Thank you guys so much for giving me my life back!”

Regards, Udo Hoffman

“I am 99% free of any Sciatica!”

“The stretches are working; I am 99% free of any Sciatica in my lower back and also left outside leg. I am also working on a muscle imbalance and an FTP. The muscle imbalance is visually reducing and I am standing a lot straighter, less stoop and more straight legs rather than bent.”

“Thanks for your System its working excellent for me”

Best Regards, D. Roy Ellis, Canada

“I Have Absolutely No Sciatic Pain… YIPPEE!”

“Not to speak of the $1,000 out-of-pocket expense for a chiropractor who doesn’t acknowledge muscles, period. It’s a long story which can be summed up in: I couldn’t sit AT ALL, stand for only a minute or so, walk only to get to kitchen, bath, and back to bed.

“Today, I have absolutely no sciatic nerve pain running down my leg! YIPPEE! If I’d followed the chiropractor’s advice, I’d still be in bed resting between the 3 adjustments a week. So, thank you from the bottom of my heart! (and from the left side of my bottom and hamstring :)

How to Create Your Own Healing Ritual, for ANY Condition including Back Pain!

Monday, November 3rd, 2008
By Dr. Mark Wiley,
The Healthy Back Institute

Meditation_Tree.jpgRituals are a mainstay of traditional cultures.

Many revolve around religious ceremonies and coming-of-age celebrations.

What marks them as so unique is that they reoccur at the same special place and time and always hold meaning and deep value for the celebrants.

The United States has few rituals anymore. Yes we have Holy Communion and sweet sixteen parties. And for some, the grinding of coffee beans and filling of he automatic drip is a morning ritual they cannot do without. Perhaps it’s not quite as automatic as getting up for work, but over time what’s special about making the first cup can become a little routine.

It’s fair to say that it is a lack of rituals with meaning that makes many Americans feel as if their lives are devoid of something… special.
