Help for Chronic Back Pain
Chronic back pain is prevalent and abundant in our fast track society. So many of us are either behind a computer for 8 or more hours a day or in jobs that require heavy physical labor that work our lower backs to its limit. Our lives have become so busy that we neglect to take good care of ourselves. We have become so involved with other things that we don’t find time to prevent back pain before it happens. Then we are find ourselves in pain and flat on our backs. We bend at the waist instead of bending at the knees because we are in a hurry. We don’t exercise because there is no time. We lift things we know we shouldn't lift and we over exert ourselves doing yard chores. All it takes is one wrong turn, one ill movement, and bam, our backs go out. They are not only painful, they hinder activity and land us in bed for sometimes more than a week.
I sought help from a doctor who had Xray’s taken. He told me that I had 'the regular wear and tear' of a thirty year old woman and there was really nothing that could be done. He prescribed me some muscle relaxers and sent me home. Needless to say I wasn’t impressed. Then I woke up one morning and couldn’t move. My neck wouldn’t turn and my back was stuck and I was in a lot of pain. Fortunately one of the women at the Salon suggested going to her Massage Therapist. I went. The massage therapist told me that she wanted me to go through something called 'Rolfing' or 'Structural Integration'. It did cost more than a regular massage and as a single mom on a budget, I just didn’t know if I could follow through. She also required that I commit to the regiment before she would take me on as a client. To get a brief overview about Rolfing or Structural Integration, it's the first page listed below: Here's the link I finally got the massage therapy treatments and got over my chronic back pain. My massage therapist worked with me over a series of seven sessions. It cost a lot but the money was always somehow mysteriously there when I needed it. And I got my life back! However I was in severe pain when I finally got help and not everyone needs the same massage program that I had to go through.
