Whenever my back seizes up I go to a very good chiropractor. Fixes me right up.
Old, old news...
Surprisingly, they didn’t inform us that, after much study, they discovered that the Earth rotates...
Nothing non-invasive worked for me. Thank god for Lumbar RF medial nerve ablation, good for 2 years on me. Simply repeat when the nerves grow back.
I had lower back issues for years until I literally met an orthopedic surgeon in a bar who explained to me what my issues likely were, and how to fix them without surgery. As he explained to me, it wouldn’t be easy and it would take some time. He told me to do cheater sit-ups (the ones where you have your knees bent) twice a day, and to buy myself an inversion table and USE IT. It took months, but my back finally started getting better, and after a year or so, I was pain-free and off the pain meds and muscle relaxers. I have to be careful lifting and over-doing it, but whenever I get a flare-up (which is rare) I get over it in a couple of days.
I have friends who are seniors, they all have back problems, every one of them. Only two have resorted to surgery, and they’re sorry they did. Prescriptions aren’t very popular though many have tried. Best results seem to be from otc Doan’s Pills (magnesium salicylate?), aspirin, and gentle exercise.
And speaking of “doans,” doan smoke, doan drink, doan fall down and doan act like you’re still 20.
Back surgery is the worst of the worst.
Chiropractic adjustments using the activator method. This is it.
I had chronic back pain for almost thirty years. I had a discectomy/laminectomy that helped some. I had multiple rounds of lumbar injections, PT, pain pills, acupuncture, and some of the back crackers treatment. Nothing helped and the pills only made me a crack addict. It was not until my wife had all of her friends and Bible study ladies pray for me. I was miraculously healed. I have not had serious back pain in about ten years. Thank you Jesus!
My cousin’s husband has had great success with his inversion table.
But I yet to meet anyone who has had great success with surgery.
Almost all I have known to have back surgery have had little success.
The most recent friend to have back surgery ended up with continuing pain and numbness in one leg months later.
The numbness in his leg led to frequent falls.
The doctor kept telling him to continue his rehab and give it time.
How can the British be unaware of chiropractors? I would absolutely choose a quick, simple, and effective chiro treatment over surgery.
A few weeks ago I could barely walk. I knew it was time for new proper shoes and gel sole inserts. Major difference.
However, the other side of the coin is an increasing number of patent medicines, hoaxes, and scams who seem to make up 100% of Newsmax advertisers. There is Mike Huckster Huckabee as usual pitching his quackery. I like Mike but please, enough of the secret formulas. To his credit, his wife looks sweet, and so do his little dogs.
And then there is this Mormon carnival barker idiot pitching the most improbable item, a magic piece of plastic without chemicals or batteries which cures all your ills. The highlight of this baloney is someone pasting this patch on their prosthetic leg. Only $160. Yeah, that's going to work. Look him up on the internet and you will find volumes of consumer and false advertising complaints.
And then there is lovable old Elmer Heinrich pitching his "secret vitamin mineral formula". Even his wife and son get into the act. I have a soft spot for Elmer, but his product seems little more than what you could buy from the Walmart vitamin aisle.
Then there's a crazy blond middle aged lady who used to pitch a product for "ugly yellow toenail fungus". Now this same gal is pitching dog food which cures "pooping issues". Her trade mark is a fast pitch while waving her hand.
Then there is the Jewish lady who stands in front of what appears to be a concentration camp. She claims Holocaust survivors are starving to death and no one will help them. I looked up her salary and it's 5 million dollars per year. She acts like these people were just released from captivity a few days ago.
And then there is Pat Boone. He is always fear mongering and trying to get you to buy his brand of magic gold. This commercial and all the others have one item in common: they play edgy, nervous, uncomfortable music as the background for their commercials. Except Elmer. I think the psychology is that you buy the product and the music stops. I just turn the channel or turn off the set, and the music stops. Problem cured. Sorry Newsmax.
I could be wrong but I thought there was an article recently which stated basically the same dismal results for invasive/surgical procedures for back problems.
Sometimes aspirin would work for me.
I hang from floor joists with just my toes touching the ground every morning. I make sure my hips “drop”. Do ten times. When I take a long drive I repeat when I arrive. I watch how I pick up things and use a brace. Mostly eliminated my problems.
While utilizing a technique to identify the perceptual programming traumatic event or stored memory that is attached to various illnesses and physical pain, I found that most lower back pain is a result of unresolved security issues from early childhood.
I have a person close their eyes and I merely touch these stored memories in the person’s soul many feet from their physical body and it stimulates the memory to backfeed into the peripheral nervous system where it is attached to the body in a specific dermatome. This causes a physical body response that often knocks the person off their feet. (I now used chairs as protective railings so they can catch themselves)
The physical pain is caused by the spinal muscles such as the erector spinae muscles contracting to block the neural junction of the afferent neuron in the dorsal root ganglion. This compression causes the disc to bulge and irritate other spinal nerves including the corresponding efferent neuron innervating the abdomen.
This in turn causes the enterochromaffin like cells (ECL) to not produce serotonin causing the gut biome to create additional problems.
I’ve found this same pattern in scoliosis.
Often, healing the perceived traumatic memory, the defense response in the body relaxes and the pain dissipates instantly.
In one case, working with a 12 yr old with severe scoliosis, resolving a trauma from when his parents divorced when he was 6 yrs old caused his back to pop so loud that his mother heard it in the next room and came running in, as the scoliosis dissipated. His back muscles relaxed instantly when they no longer needed to block the traumatic memory and the attached painful emotions, thus allowing his spine to straighten.
I didn’t know anything about the young man, not even his name. The stored traumatic memories in the soul are very dense consciousness and are physical to my perception.
I know this sounds bizarre, but it’s easy to demonstrate.
I just had a case where a small intestine pinched in an umbilical hernia causing intestinal blockage that backed up the gall bladder, pancreatic, and liver ducts causing inflammation.
The worst thing was that the blockage caused the stomach to become distended, causing the g-cells to produce and abundance of gastrin into the bloodstream, which in turn caused so much histamine production that it created histamine intolerance.
The person could hardly walk due to the resulting inflamation and pain in their joints. In addition, the tissue inflamation caused difficulty breathing and severe snoring, as well as severe rhinitis. It even caused heart palpitations.
The abundance of histamines caused the parietal cells to over produce acid in the stomach causing severe pain in addition to the bloating.
I was absolutely amazed that several diamine oxidase tablets resolved everything in about three hours. I was able to massage/push the intestine back through the hernia and some magnesium oxide got the bowels flowing. The recovery was astonishing. However, hernia repair surgery is still needed.
High histamine levels, either from the mast cells or ECL cells will cause severe back and joint pain all over.
In this case their was a genetic predisposition to low diamine oxidase in his body. Green pea sprout consumption is the best diamine oxidase supplementation for long term histamine control.
The human body sure is an intricate complex puzzle.
Someone told me to roll on two tennis balls in a sock.
