Chronic back pain not only hurts, it can prevent you from participating in enjoyable everyday activities and affect your ability to earn a living. Chances are you and your doctor only know about a limited number of methods for controlling your back pain.

The good news is that apart from drugs, risky surgery physical therapy, there are actually more than 100 ways to cut your back pain down to size. Best of all, a comprehensive system of back pain management gives you the ability to decrease the severity of your back pain, reduce the number of pain episodes and in many cases, eliminate back pain from your life.

My name is Robert H. Miller, and I’m a Certified Holistic Health Counselor, whose life once nearly ground to a halt because of unrelenting and debilitating back pain. After an intensive, multifaceted program of pain management therapy at Stanford University Pain Management Center, I got my life back. I then embarked on over 600 hours of study of holistic healing, alternative medicine, massage and movement therapies to learn how to help others suffering from chronic back pain.

What is chronic pain?

It’s important to understand the difference between acute and chronic pain, because they play vastly different roles in our life and health.

Acute pain is the kind of sharp pain you experience when you twist an ankle, sprain your back or burn a finger. Although this kind of pain certainly hurts, on the whole the pain is a good thing, because it’s warning you about something wrong with your body. It lasts a relatively short time, and as you rest and allow your body to heal, acute pain generally disappears.

Chronic pain, on the other hand, is continuous pain that does not serve any useful purpose. In most cases, the injury that caused acute pain has healed as much as it is going to heal, and the hurt does not function as a warning signal. Pain that has persisted for more than three to six months would normally be chronic pain. Rest does not improve chronic pain. The persistence of pain causes anxiety, and this anxiety in turn makes the chronic pain worse.

Chronic back pain is the involuntary, habituated contraction of muscles induced by emotional issues, stress and an ongoing reaction to the pain (except where there is a severe physical injury or a documented disease process). The pain is real. But to get rid of this kind of pain, you need a systematic approach. Any medical specialist you go to, other than certified pain management specialist working in a pain clinic, can probably only help you with one of the symptoms that make up the complex pain syndrome you are experiencing.

If you are experiencing long-lasting back pain, make sure you get a medical diagnosis, in order to rule out any serious medical cause of the pain, such as kidney cancer or some other disease. With that taken care of, you’ll get the most relief from a systematic program of mental and physical therapies, such as the program described in my book and audio CDs, Back Pain Relief: The Ultimate Guide.

What is a comprehensive back pain management program?

Using healing techniques from the world of alternative medicine including mind/body awareness, exercise science, specialized movement therapies and Eastern disciplines that predate Western medicine, it’s possible to undo the involuntary, habituated contraction of your muscles, release your stress and anxiety, and return to the level of activity you experienced before back pain began to dominate your life.

The components of this kind of comprehensive program include:

Mental Means of Pain Relief. Please understand that being able to reduce or eliminate pain using your mind doesn’t mean that the pain is “all in your head.” Pain is a physical reality. However, because pain signals travel through the central nervous system, you can disrupt or shut down a pain signal using your mind.

Controlled scientific studies have confirmed that mental methods such as positive thinking, deep breathing, self-hypnosis, humor, listening to music, meditation and prayer do actually relieve pain. In addition, it helps to recognize and resolve the things in your life that provoke stress.

Physical Means of Pain Relief. Certain bodily sensations, such as touch, warmth, cold or vibration, can inhibit the transmission of pain signals. Ice, heat, massage, vibration, electrical stimulation and topical salves all fit into that category.

Exercise also helps to block pain signals by distracting the mind, strengthening weak muscles, stretching contracted muscles and releasing the body’s natural painkillers, called endorphins. In addition, Eastern healing techniques can improve the circulation and balance of your body’s life energy, or “chi.”

Nutritional Means of Pain Relief. Alleviating deficiencies of important vitamins, minerals and amino acids can facilitate relief from pain. Any comprehensive pain management program also includes paying attention to healthy eating and heading toward your ideal weight, since losing extra pounds relieves pressure on your back.

New Routines. In order for a systematic pain management program to yield results, you’ll need to develop new habits in the above areas. Setting and accomplishing goals enable you to establish a healing routine.

Methods to Control Flare-ups. Pain flare-ups are frustrating and frightening, so it’s important to know which methods of pain control provide fast, effective relief. Noticing your individual responses to the various methods you try will point the way toward your own unique flare-up control plan. This in itself helps reduce the anxiety and pain in such a crisis.

One of the best, quickest tools I have found for fast back pain relief during a flare-up is the Thermotex infrared heating pad. Learn more about Thermotex heating pads.

Alternative medicine methods of back pain relief help most with chronic back pain, but can also be useful for those suffering from acute back pain who use these methods along with medical diagnosis and treatment.

Where can you find a comprehensive back pain management program?

Many major medical centers, such as the one at Stanford University, offer a comprehensive pain management program. But if you live far away from such a center, don’t have insurance coverage for a program like that or prefer to get started mastering your back pain on your own, my easy-to-follow book and audio CD combination product, Back Pain Relief: The Ultimate Guide, will put you on the road to relief – at a very reasonable cost.

Of course you should get clearance from your physician before embarking on the program, but keep in mind that many of the healing techniques have been scientifically demonstrated to relieve pain. With the book and audio CDs, you have the life-changing tools to become a proactive partner with your physician to access body’s natural healing intelligence.

My postal mail and e mail have brought me thanks from people who used the program in my book and CDs to relieve their pain and resume normal life. For instance, R.H., from Tulsa, OK, wrote me, “Prior to receipt of your book, I was only able to walk less than 100 feet without severe back and leg pain. After adopting the warm-up and stretching program in the book, I am now able to walk a half a mile with no pain.”

D.P. from Alexandria, VA, wrote, “The holistic approach makes a lot of sense for those like me who had severe back and leg pain. The information and techniques I was able to learn from the book has enabled me to successfully manage my pain and reduce it by 95%. Thanks again.”
