Back Pain? Do You Know What's Really Causing Your Back to Hurt?

Do you know the cause of your back pain?

Do you know how to get rid of that pain in your back?

Okay, I know--if you knew how to get rid of your back pain, you would probably not be here, reading this article. Let's start with first things first.

Why Do You Have Back Pain?

Pain does not happen unless there is a reason and there are many things that can cause back pain.

What has happened is that some of your muscles have become "out of balance." That means that some muscles are a bit "too tight" and others are "not tight enough." Muscles that are too tight pull on your spine, and that can cause back pain, like sciatica, by causing the spine bones to press on your nerves.

Muscles that are too tight also pull on other muscles that are attached to the same bones they are. (All muscles are attached to bones; that is how you are able to move.) The muscles that are being pulled on become unhappy and go into a spasm of their own. This causes back pain, too.

How Did You Get "Out of Balance?"

Most of us use only the same 50 or 60 muscles each day. We have stopped using all of our muscles, as we did when we were children. When you were little, you ran, jumped, climbed, crawled and used your whole body for almost every activity you did. Even when you cried, you cried with your whole body. And when you laughed, your whole little body joined in the fun.

But, now?

Most of your day is spent is positions that strain a few muscles by overusing them. At the same time, your other muscles aren't being used as they were designed to be.

What Can You Do To Get Rid Of Your Back Pain?

You need to figure out why your back hurts. You need to find out which muscles are too tight and need to be stretched or relaxed. You have to figure out which muscles are weak and need strengthening.

Is surgery the answer? I have to admit, occasionally it can be. But, more often, the cause of back pain is muscular, and surgery is not the answer. Fewer back surgeries are done these days because the results were so often not valuable. (And that was because the diagnosis was incorrect. We all have changes in our spinal bones that are visible on tests, but we don't all have pain.)

Is an "aspirin deficiency" the answer? No, but sometimes anti-inflammatories can get you through a few rough days. Long term use of any medicine can have side effects, so that could be a problem.

So, what is the answer?

You must educate yourself about your back pain treatment options. If you look for the most logical solutions, there's a great chance that you will be successful in getting rid of your back pain issue.
