11 Tips on How to Avoid Back Pain

Matthew Cornell says on November 2nd, 2005 at 2:57 am

Actually, I think the problem is both simpler and harder to deal with. In the following article I have a section called “Problem: Severe lower back pain” in which I describe the two things that made a huge difference. First, read the book “Back Sense” (http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ.....;v=glance), and second, get an Alexander Technique teacher. These address the real cause of most back pain – stress-induced muscle tension (95% of all cases). FYI: http://ideamatt.blogspot.com/2.....ed-my.html

Interesting read from your blog, Matt. This is a topic worth to dig into. Thanks for the pointer!

Hello

I have a fairly new, last 3 months, blog on relieving back, neck and shoulder pain called

http://backbebetter.blogspot.com or Back Be Better.

While I have articles on relief through yoga, exercises, information and products, I thought I would ask for some specific feedback from people who have experienced back, neck and shoulder pain or arthritis symptoms or know someone who has.

What do you need to know? What would help you most?

My blog has variety and colorful pictures, as well as excellent advice to make your back be better.

Thanks Dave

MAKING YOUR BAD BACK BETTER WITH THE O’CONNOR TECHNIQUE, HOW YOU CAN BECOME YOUR OWN CHIROPRACTOR is a unique spinal pain relief educational website and self-help vehicle that begins by describing the state-of-the-art with respect to back pain management and briefly elaborates on historical, contemporary, practitioner-mediated and self-administered back pain therapies, comparing all with The O’Connor Technique’s method of backache management. It then reviews the anatomy and pathology of the spinal intervertebral discs (so as to educate the reader in the standard terminology necessary to understand the concepts) followed by a previously unpublished and elsewhere unavailable physical means to self-diagnose the source of back pain, neck pain, and backache. Then, through an instructional set of principles it carefully explains the mechanical forces that naturally act on the spine and how these forces can be controlled and capitalized upon to relieve and prevent spinal pain. Foremost, it advances an unique and revolutionary method of spinal pain therapy and spinal pain prevention by teaching individuals with the most common forms of back and neck pain how to manipulate their own spinal intervertebral disks to achieve pain relief, restore lost range-of-motion, avoid surgery, and prevent future pain and disability. It finishes by specifically targeting many of the activities of daily life which are especially associated with back pain and the author’s perspective on optional therapies available.

Experiencing this type of pain can put a damper on day to day activities. However, most cases improve within a couple of days. The fact is ninety five percent of back pain doesn’t require surgery. It is the month after month, chronic conditions that require a closer medical look.

Don’t sit – Don’t just sit around all day and be lazy because you’re pregnant and it’s a great excuse. It is a good excuse, but you need to go out, on your first trimester a jog would be good, but keep it at walking in your second or third trimester. Exercising strengthens muscles. So doing your bit of daily exercise will strengthen your back muscles as well, making it easier to move around a lot more! There’s my tip, go for a jog or walk.

I have had problems with my back since my mid teen years and I wanted to ask if you think that visiting a chiropractor could actually help. I have been an athlete all my life but with injuries the range of motion on my back has really decrease.

I spend a lot of time on the internet trying to find answers and I read this article recently

http://www.spine-health.com/to.....rtr01.html

Mark - Back Pain Therapy says on December 9th, 2007 at 4:24 pm

Back pain is actually the second most frequent reason people see a doctor
due to pain. That means that there are going to be thousands of different
remedies and treatments. However, perhaps the best relief to back pain is
prevention.

Andrew says on December 12th, 2007 at 11:57 pm

Thanks a lot. Simple but fully informative.

Dennis Denlinger says on January 22nd, 2008 at 10:55 am

Don’t use the body correctly and you may get pain. I applied engineering basics to the back and handled some pain. I call this Denlinger’s Discovery. For example, medical and chiropractic doctors say the spine should be curved to absorb shocks. However, an engineer would say that the spine should be held so that it can go into a curve as is absorbs a shock. The engineering principle is that something which absorbs a shock, such as a spring, distorts (ie, goes into a different shape) in the process of absorbing a shock and then returns to the original shape to be ready for another shock. In the spine there are certain muscles which can be used to make it straigher (not perfectly straight, but only straightER) so it is ready to absorb a shock. When these muscles are not being used correctly ligaments in the spine can be stretched, causing pain. Ligaments are the tough stuff which holds bones together at a joint. The last time you ate a chicken leg you may have seen a ligament holding the drumstick bone to the thigh bone. Try this. Hold your arm straight out in front of you with the palm down. Bend the elbow so your hand is near your chest with the palm still facing down. Relax the muscles in your forearm so the wrist goes limp and the hand flops down. Using your other hand, gently, gently push against the back of the flopped hand, forcing the wrist to bend even more. Notice that eventually with more pressure that the wrist of the flopped hand will hurt. Okay, stop that pushing. Using the muscles on the back of the hand with the flopped wrist, pull the hand up so the wrist is straighter. Using those muscles, do not let the wrist bend. Using your other hand, push on the back of the hand with the straighter wrist, but do NOT let that wrist bend by the use of the muscles in the forearm. No matter how hard you press, the wrist will not hurt because the muscles are holding it straight. Here is an example of the engineering principle of having a backup for an important system. For an example, in your car you have two brake systems – the front and the back – so if one fails you can still stop your car until you get it to a repair shop. If one of the brake systems fail there is a bright red light on your dashboard letting you know you need to get to a repair shop. In the body the muscles can be used to hold the bones tight together at the joint. But, sometimes the muscles are not working, such as at night when you are asleep. During sleep the ligaments are the backup system keeping the bones together at the joints while the muscles rest. Without the ligaments you could wake up with your toes mixed in with your ribs. However, there are times when the ligaments are overloaded while keeping the bones together at the joints, as in the above demonstration. When this happens there is pain which in the body are the loud bells and flashing red lights to let the operator know something is wrong and needs to be fixed. In the case of the body the fix is using voluntary muscles correctly. I made these discoveries by applying engineering basics which I learned as part of earning an architectural degree at Carnegie-Mellon University.
