Because 95% of lower back pain reported is "nonspecific," that is, not related to serious underlying medical conditions such as disease, infections or fractures, muscles are the first place considered for back pain relief. Muscles don't start to hurt for no reason, so something must be causing that pain. Reducing the pain is the first step.

The back is an amazing engineering wonder that can be so strong and flexible. When you view your back in this way, in a positive light, it can bring you more joy than pain.

No more than 20 minutes at a time, every other hour. After the third day, heat may be applied, again, no more that 20 minutes once every two hours. During this period, it is important to not remain immobile. This can cause stiffness and lengthen recovery. Slowly moving the back in normal positions such as sitting upright, standing and slight twisting if tolerated is recommended.

Remove a few and sure pain will ease, you will feel great again and go on with your life. Then one day soon, you will experience pain again. You will again remove the pain only, but this time it may take a little longer to do so. But it eases and then you once again enjoy your life. Then it may be a few weeks, months or even years and pain will occur once more. This time it is worse, it may never ease totally, you get some x-rays or scans and they say "look at all the degeneration" or "those disc have really worn out"...

Other non-invasive techniques for back pain relief include physical therapy, rehabilitation and sports medicine, which all emphasize a core strength of the back and abdomen to strengthen those muscles. The exercises learned in this therapy must be followed after the sessions to maintain a pain-free back.

What does back pain relief COST now? It costs more money, more pain and lowers the value of your life. This article is not meant to frighten you (although I hope it does scare you into action).

But this is the most common course of back pain. Even if you seek help from practitioners this is still the most common outcome unless you do things to remove all the causes.

Long lasting back pain relief requires you to remove every cause, not just a few. But how do you know if they are all gone. This is the biggest mistake made in back pain relief... Not knowing where the causes are.

When the pain lasts longer than three days and prevents you from conducting your normal daily activities, you should see a doctor for diagnosis.

What I said to my clients was actually this. "Reassess your spine using the techniques you were given. If you can see that the muscles and joint are in balance then sure, stop the corrective techniques. Btu don't stop there.
