Introduction

I want to thank you and congratulate you for downloading this e-Book.

This book contains proven steps and strategies on how to manage back pain naturally, as well as understanding what back pain is all about and how it happens. Furthermore, the book gives you a clear indication of when back problems do need specialist or medical attention. It would be irresponsible not to include this information.

It is important to keep in mind that back pain is a symptom. Your body is trying to tell you something. You will find the common reasons why a person experiences back pain and the implications of that back pain within this book. Pain in the lower back, such as in the waistline or areas below it, is a very commonly problem and is experienced by around 80% of Americans at some point during their lives. That's a very high percentage meaning that you are almost certain to experience pain in this area of the body at some time.

Back pain is one of the most frequent purposes why people require medical attention. Generally, back pain is relatively minor, and 80% of episodes of severe lower back pain will disappear within less than two months, with or without medical attention. However, you can help yourself to avoid it and to treat it quickly once it does start.

Hence, this book is written for you who may have started experiencing or have been afflicted by severe episodes of back pain. It is best that you have in-depth knowledge of the symptoms and of preventive measures and these are all covered within the book. Best of all, it is my intention that with such knowledge, you can treat your back pain the natural way, bringing relief very quickly.

It would have been wonderful to have a life without back pain, but this is part of the reality of life. Indeed, a lot of questions arise when one experiences back pain. This book seeks to give you the answers as it is written from extensive experience which is being passed on to you. Treasure it. It may end your suffering.

There are many people who are unaware of the impact of the way that you breathe, for example, and doctors have found that this has a direct bearing on the way that your spine stays straight. Although you may suffer from slipped discs and other problems, breathing correctly and doing exercises outlined in the later chapters of this book will help you.

The point with back pain is that patients can do an awful lot to help themselves. The details in the book are extensive and follow the pain patterns experienced by a 63 year old who has suffered various problems over the course of her life. Having also seen the devastating effect of the pain suffered by her husband, the book covers the problems from both a masculine and feminine viewpoint and has valuable information on natural treatments that work, gleaned from experience.

Walk through the pages of the book at leisure and choose which natural remedies seem to apply to your particular illness. It really will make a difference to your life.

Thanks again for downloading this book. I hope you enjoy learning from our experience and that you find solutions that make your life a little easier.

Chapter 1 - The Reality Called Back Pain

Roughly eight out of 10 individuals in the world experience back pain at certain times during their lives. Women, specifically, are prone to back problems. Why is this so? Well, this is because of the lifestyles that they live. Carrying heavy shopping can contribute, as can pregnancy and carrying of children. These are activities which add strain to the back. Thus, it's not a surprise that women suffer a great deal from back pain and will probably need to come up with self help remedies because although the back pain is not serious, it can become so if left unchecked.

How painful that back pain is depends upon the circumstances, but people have described back pain in many ways. This is merely shown to demonstrate that back pain comes in different levels of pain and has been described as follows:

I felt as if a screwdriver was penetrating my bones

It made life pretty impossible, since I could not sit or lie down

I was petrified that I would never feel young again...

I felt stabbing pains when I moved in certain positions.

It began with dull aches and then radiated to other parts of my body.

With this kind of pain, it is natural to want to feel relief and to address whatever it is that is causing the pain as quickly as possible. Early diagnosis and treatment is preferable if wanting to avoid the necessity of taking long term pain killers. In fact, the earlier the problem is recognized, the easier it is to deal with it using natural remedies.

Back pain generally entails:

Inability to stand up straight

Limited range of movement in different areas of the back

Muscle pains that radiate to other areas

Pain that spreads down adjoining limbs

Shooting or piercing pains

Backaches often grow without a particular cause that your physician can identify even using imaging via a scanner or X-Rays or with laboratory tests. Conditions generally associated to back pain comprise:
