In 1996 “only” 77 million Americans were suffering chronic pain annually. Today, that number is more than 150 million! That amounts to a 100% increase in just a dozen years!
I’ll bet you didn’t know that pain costs an estimated $100 billion each year! And that health experts estimate that 80% of adult Americans will suffer from chronic back pain at some point in their lives.
As if that weren’t enough, chronic pain has significant and long-lasting psychological effects… as I am sure most of you know all too well.
So how is it that, with our modern scientific mainstream medicine, we are suffering more, not less?
Well, I’m here to tell you that this is rediculous and that you don’t have to live with chronic pain.
Too many Americans do not get enough exercise. Public polls say the top three reasons are: 1) You don’t have time; 2) You can’t make the commitment to stick to an exercise routine; and 3) Exercise HURTS!
Hurts? Common sense tells you exercise should not be painful if done correctly. Feeling a little sore afterward is normal, natural and a healthy sign of a challenging workout.
However, sports medicine experts also recognize a syndrome called delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), which is pain or discomfort felt 24 to 72 hours after exercising. Is this your trouble?
Did you know that your back pain could be caused by your thigh muscles? Or your hip and leg muscles?
You see if your thigh, hip, leg or other muscles are out of balance your pelvis and spine get yanked right out of their natural, healthy position.
These hip-dysfunctions are actually the hidden culprit in most cases of back related pain.
And they get worse over time because they force your back muscles to start working “against the grain,” weakening them over time.
Worse, it’s almost impossible to get lasting pain relief if you never fix the dysfunction. Everything else is just the symptom - even herniated and bulging discs, sciatica and other back conditions - they’re all symptoms of the underlying imbalances.
There are really only about FOUR major hip-dysfunctions that you have to worry about:
- A forward-tipped pelvis …
- A backward-tipped pelvis …
- A high-right pelvis …
- A high-left pelvis …
The only non-hip dysfunction we see that also causes folks pain is really a neck-dysfunction which we call a forward head and shoulders.
Once you identify which of these dysfunctions is causing your pain, it’s simply a matter of stretching and strengthening the right muscles to fix the dysfunction. And many people get lasting relief in just days using thiese simple, self-treatments - even when everything else gave them only temporary relief… if any at all.
So if you haven’t done so already, I want to make sure you get a proper diagnosis of the neck or hip-dysfunctions causing your pain, otherwise no treatment will ever give you permanent relief.

Hi there Tony,
It’s been about two weeks now since you purchased our LOSE THE BACK PAIN SYSTEM and I wanted to see how you are doing.
I hope you’ve had a chance to watch the videos and perform your assessments. If not, please make the time. The videos are not long and the system is very easy to use and implement. You will not see any improvement if you don’t take action and remember, any time you have questions all you need to do is ask.
Also, be sure to visit the discussion forum as you can post your questions and join in the conversations others have started. You can find the forum here: Back Pain Discussion Forum
And last, if you haven’t done so already, be sure to read our latest article about inversion therapy here: Inversion Table Therapy
Please be sure to keep us posted on your progress.

Hello Steve,
Thanks for your e-mail.
I got my system on Nov.7 and have been going through it. I am happy to tell you that I am very pleased with the results so far. I suffered from severe sciatic pain down my left leg and with the assesment book, I was able to identify my disfunctions; high hip and forward tipped pelvis. You guys sure know what you are talking about! I was rushed by ambulance on Halloween morning, that’s how bad it was! I though I was in for a long drawn out battle with this. I searched the web and found your site, thankfully! I was skeptical but hopefull.
I have also been taking the Heal n Soothe pills. Both , I am certain, have helped me out tremendously! I also took the advice about the inversion therapy, so I went out today and bought an inversion table, after researching the effects , it all made total sence. Even after 15 minutes on it I felt the relief! I am so glad this was not another one of those scams on the web.
Thank you so much, I am very confident that I will be back to better than normal sooner than I had thought!
All the best to all of you!
The creaky knees and achy back of old age are a well-known stereotype. Of course, it’s based in truth. As we age, muscles shorten and lose some elasticity. The soft tissues that hold joints together stiffen. Bones lose density.
Conventional medicine typically offers cover-up treatments for these naturally occurring changes. But these treatments do nothing to restore lost function.
They may relieve symptoms-and just as likely, they may not. But they don’t get at the root causes of the problems. They don’t offer cures.
Fortunately, natural medicine has many answers to the problem of painful muscles and joints that conventional medicine doesn’t offer. Here are two of the best.
