Understanding Chronic Back Pain & How To Heal

Over 80% of adults will experience significant back pain at some point.

Approximately 1.2 million spinal surgeries/year in the US.

The US prescription pain market is $81 Billion/year.

The US over the counter pain market is 27.12 Billion/year.

Missed work, poor sleep, reduced quality of, life lowered experience of wellbeing are common results.

Despite investment & support from mainstream, treatments remain largely ineffective.

The Problem With Back Pain Care:

  • Currently accepted best practices supported by mainstream medicine and insurance companies DO NOT address the actual root cause of back pain.
  • Multiple studies have shown between 40% and 74% of back surgeries fail. In fact, many patients actually get worse.
  • Other studies have shown injections of corticosteroids are ineffective compared to placebo and in many cases the placebo group is actually better off than those receiving the injections after 3 months.
  • Yet despite all the evidence that these treatment modalities often worsen the patients situation, insurance and mainstream medicine continue to push these treatments.
  • Prescriptions and over-the-counter medications only mask the pain without addressing the root cause of the pain.
  • Even approaches like chiropractic, physical therapy, & yoga, can at times make patients worse than they were before.

This study showed posture to be a significant predictor for both life expectancy as well as dependence on others for simple daily tasks when one ages. The researchers concluded patients with severe postural degeneration (hyperkyphosis) were 393% more likely to lose independence in daily activities and require assistance for basic tasks.

This study showed people with severe postural degeneration (hyperkyphosis) had a higher all cause mortality than those with excellent posture. Posture (and ultimately living with a pain free and fully functional spine) appears to be incredibly important for quality of life. Additionally, most back issues are DEGENERATIVE. Degeneration means there is a breakdown of the structure and function over time and the breakdown continues to worsen the longer the problem continues.

Therefore, if the root cause of the back problem isnʼt dealt with, the problem will only worsen over time.

How Your Spine Works

The spine is made of bones which called vertebrae.
Between the bones are discs. These discs are made of 85% water and act as shock absorbers and allow the spine to maintain mobility andflexibility.
Muscles and connective tissues move the spine and support its structure.
Finally, the spine houses the central nervous system. The central nervous system is the master control system for every single function in the body. In between each bone, nerve roots exit the spinal cord to serve every organ, muscle, and tissue in the body.
As the spine loses correct structure, correct mobility, correct spacing, and correct flexibility these are all forms of degeneration. When the spine degenerates, it puts excessive pressure on discs which can be injured, excessive stress on the muscles and connective tissues, ultimately pinching and impinging the nerve roots which exit the spine.

Pain Is Not The Problem - Pain Is The Symptom

Pain is the “check engine” light telling us to fix the problem.

Whether pain was originally caused by an injury or from long term habitual patterns, it's important to remember a healthy spine can heal!

When you solve the root causes which are PREVENTING the healing process from occurring, the spine (and the rest of the body) is able to heal naturally.

3 Root Causes Of Back Pain

Root Cause #1 Postural Degeneration

There is always some type of degeneration of the healthy function or form of the spine when back pain is present.

There are five main degenerative conditions all of which put unnatural pressure on discs and nerve roots

Which one are you experiencing?

Spine Example

Misalignment

A healthy spine has a natural curvature as well as flexibility and mobility. When joints become misaligned, movement becomes restricted, losing the curve and adding pressure on discs and nerves.

Spine Example

Bulging Disc & Herniated Disc

This is a severe injury to the discs between the bones in our spine. Typically these occur from acute accidents or falls but also happen due to misalignment dysfunction as mentioned previously. The discs are under so much pressure that they bulge out or even herniate and in so doing, they put extreme pressure on the nerve roots exiting the spine. Even worse, if not correctly healed, the body will “protect” the injury by locking down the movement in the area which causes even more misalignments and decreased mobility.

Spine Example

Spinal Stenosis

Spinal Stenosis most often occurs when long term misalignment and lack of mobility are not addressed and corrected. Defined as narrowing of the spinal canal. A potential cause is improper movement, improper alignment, increased inflammation over an extended period of time, the bones of the spine begin to develop bone spurs which protrude into the nerves causing extreme pain.

Spine Example

Degenerative Disc Disease

Degenerative disc disease is an advanced stage of postural degeneration where the discs have been under so much pressure due to misalignment and lack of mobility that discs have narrowed, bulged, herniated, and bones have developed spurs to the point that posture, disc health, and nerve function in the area are greatly impaired.

Spine Example

Sciatica

Sciatic pain has a distinct feature due to the fact the pain is typically felt as shooting or electric pain which runs down the leg. It can also be felt as an achy feeling in the buttock or between the hip bones. Sciatica is merely a misalignment often combined with a significant narrowing of the disc in the lowest vertebrae into the sacrum. Large nerve roots exit the spine through the sacrum (tailbone) and lower vertebrae. These nerve roots serve the legs and lower body which is why this pain is often felt shooting down the leg.

Which Type of Degeneration Do You Think You Are Experiencing?

Mainstream treatments do little to nothing to correct the underlying degenerative issues causing the pain which leads many back injuries or back pain to become chronic and continue to degenerate further.

Root Cause #2 Inflammation

Good Inflammation

Good inflammation is temporary, serves to repair injuries and disease, flushes out damaged cells,brings healing nutrients and oxygen, and facilitates the bodyʼs healing process.

Bad Inflammation

True healing requires flushing out this bad inflammation and restoring proper circulation. Without this step, even the best exercises or therapies will be of minimal benefit.

Chronic back pain is almost always associated with toxic inflammation —a type that lingers and spreads, blocking circulation and preventing healing. When the body is injured, diseased, or has any type of dysfunction, the body naturally responds by sending an army of white blood cells to repair the dysfunction. However, when the injury or dysfunction isn't able to restore correct mobility, doesnʼt heal correctly, and the pain otherwise becomes chronic, the inflammation ends up blocking the healing process. The cells in those tissues become chronically inflamed and the healing process never advances. These processes contribute to the development of further dysfunction and degeneration.

Root Cause #3 Lack of Spinal Hygiene

If you didn't brush your teeth, what would happen?

Cavities...the health of your teeth would degenerate! Most people do nothing to maintain spinal hygiene. Over time the spine loses mobility, stiffens, and discs narrow, and we lose function. Maintaining spinal health means restoring flexibility, motion, and strength to your spine every single day. It doesnʼt require hours in the gym—it requires the right movement, done consistently for only a few minutes each morning.
