Addressing The Cause And Finding A Cure
Why Cause is Everything When It Comes To Low Back Pain
by Steve Preston ©2004

There is an epidemic, at least in the States when it comes to treating back pain. Most doctors do just that… treat back pain rather than finding and eliminating the cause.

You can treat your symptoms for an eternity, and you may feel better for a short period of time. To truly get at the heart of the matter though, you have to find and eliminate the cause of low back pain.

I’ll let you in on a little secret. Most chronic low back pain can be resolved in six weeks or less. It’s true!

Beating Your Neck, Back and Shoulder Pain

Suffering from neck, back and shoulder pain? If you are, you're
in good company. Millions of people wake up every morning and
endure every day experiencing pain in their necks, backs and
shoulders. While neck, back and shoulder pain used to be thought
of as conditions affecting only adults, due to more parents
scheduling routine doctors visits for their kids, it's becoming
increasingly apparent that children and teenagers are also
suffering from the symptoms. So if it's not age that causes
this severe discomfort, what is it? Believe it or not, the
culprit may be your sleep habits and the position you sleep in.

Each and everyday, you are putting stress on your spine, which
directly impacts the tension in your neck, shoulders and back.
Even simple, everyday tasks like sitting at a desk, driving, and
bending over can contribute to wear on these sensitive parts of
your body. Your sleep time is supposed to be the time of day when
these areas of your body are allowed to relax and regenerate.
However, if your neck isn't properly supported while you're
sleeping, your body doesn't have a chance to recover from the
stress it endured throughout the day. Improper neck support
while sleeping can cause increasingly severe neck, back and
shoulder pain over the years, to a point where it becomes
unbearable.

Neck, back and shoulder pain can actually begin a vicious cycle.
You're in pain, so you can't sleep, but you need to sleep (and
sleep right), to be able to get rid of the pain. A continuous
lack of sleep can even lead to further problems like depression,
chronic fatigue, and believe it or not, even weight gain has
been linked to a severe lack of proper sleep. Fortunately,
scientists and health professionals take the causes of neck,
back and shoulder pain seriously, and have consistently worked
towards finding methods and remedies that will alleviate the
wretched symptoms.

The first step towards eliminating the discomfort of these
symptoms is to correct your sleep habits, and the most important
part of this step is to get a pillow that properly supports your
neck. Try to find one that is made to be tailored to the position
you sleep in, as not all pillows are created equal. Memory foam
pillows have been increasing in popularity, and rightfully so.
They've actually been quite beneficial in relieving neck, back
and shoulder pain for a number of people who have been enduring
it for years. Massage, yoga, and proper exercise are also
methods that have been found to reduce pain in these regions
of the body. By incorporating small change like these into your
lifestyle, you should have no problem overcoming your ailments.

If a quality visco-elastic pillow doesn't solve your neck, back
and shoulder pain, you might want to schedule an appointment
with your doctor as your pain may be a symptom of a more severe
underlying condition. Pain is something that affects your entire
being, and remedying it quickly is vitally important to your
quality of life.
