🎙️ Debunking Lower Back Pain Fears: Your Diagnosis and The Path to Being Pain Free All too often the process of getting a diagnosis for your back pain can be challenging. For some the prospect itself is difficult with no one really having the answer, for others it is a label that spells disaster. But is this really the case? In today's episode of the podcast we talk about specific examples to help you better appreciate the answer to the following question: How much does your diagnosis affect the prospects of your back pain or sciatica being eliminated? Don't get caught in the downward spiral and paralysis by analysis that can prevent you from becoming pain free again. As we discuss, there is an incredibly high chance, your diagnosis could have been made many months or years prior to your low back pain or sciatica becoming an issue. A time when you did not have debilitating pain. What does this mean for future prospects? Well for a starter, they're probably not as bleak as they seem, but it's going to take some work on your part to get you to that pain free destination.

🎙️ Boost Your Back Pain Recovery: A Proven Strategy For You Back pain can feel like a constant, uninvited guest in your life. It's intrusive, disruptive, and seemingly unshakeable. The Internet is awash with advice on how to banish it for good—from novel exercise routines to an array of diets, and from hi-tech devices to diverse therapeutic treatments. But wading through this vast sea of information often leads to nothing but confusion and, unfortunately, persistent pain. The truth is, there's no magic bullet when it comes to back pain recovery. Every individual's back pain story is different—shaped by unique bodies, distinctive pain patterns, and individual lifestyles. Therefore, the most effective recovery process should be tailored to you and your needs. In this comprehensive guide, we aim to demystify the various avenues for back pain recovery. We'll lay out a broad range of strategies, not to overwhelm you with options, but to provide a clear, holistic view of what's available, how each method functions, and who could potentially benefit most from them. We start with the very foundation: understanding your pain and following a comprehensive program designed to target its root causes. This underpins everything else. Only with a solid base can you begin to build upon your recovery journey effectively. Next, we delve into nutrition. The role of fluid intake and protein, especially within a maintenance calorie diet, could be substantial. And what about collagen, the key structural protein in our connective tissues? Could that play a role in recovery? Then we explore more specific therapeutic tools and treatments, like massage guns and teeter tables. These can offer relief and facilitate recovery, but their effectiveness is dependent on their use in conjunction with a well-structured recovery program. This brings us to professional help: massage therapists, osteopaths, chiropractors. These practitioners can provide targeted interventions to help you manage your pain and heal more efficiently. But even their skilled hands can't replace the critical role of nutrition and a well-designed recovery program. Lastly, we discuss innovative solutions like IDD therapy sessions. These advanced treatments can offer significant relief for some individuals. But again, even the most cutting-edge therapy won't work miracles if the foundation isn't solid. The crucial thing to understand is that these strategies do not work in isolation—they must be layered or stacked to be effective. It's like building a house: there's no point installing windows if you haven't laid the foundations and built the walls. Back pain recovery is a journey, and like any journey, it requires preparation, perseverance, and patience. With this guide, we aim to equip you with the tools and knowledge to traverse your path to recovery with confidence, making informed decisions for your health every step of the way.

🎙️ Rethinking Muscle Spasm: How Misdiagnosis Can Lead to Chronic Lower Back Pain Lower back pain is frequently diagnosed as muscle spasm or supposedly caused by tight muscles, but is this really the whole story? Of course it is not. Muscles are reactionary tissues and they respond to a stimulus. Where we have tightness or painful spasm in the lower back this is of course going to be unhelpful. However, the muscle spasm itself is not the cause of the lower back pain. Today we explain precisely how muscles work. We go on to help you better understand the presence of muscle spasm in lower back injuries as well as how this is understandably unhelpful! Hopefully by the end of this, you'll firmly understand why muscle spasm in the lower back is a problem, but is not the problem. In doing so you'll have gained and understanding of your own lower back and be able to move forwards resolving the underlying cause of your lower back pain, rehabilitating properly and ultimately getting back to the things you want to do, without pain!

🎙️ Whiplash: Why The Chronic Neck Pain & How To Stop It Lingering Whiplash is an injury that can lead to severe neck damage, thankfully broken bones and the need for emergency surgeries are rare. More often, damage to the cervical spine is ruled out quickly and you're sent on your merry way with some "minor soft tissue damage" and the message that "it will get better on its own". But it doesn't get better on its own. Many with chronic neck pain will tell you that it has never been right since "that whiplash injury or accident" and this is the unfortunate truth for so many. But it all could be avoided, what's more the good news is that it is never too late to start making a change and improving your neck health. One thing is essential though, and that is you start to understand your whiplash injury a little better, even if it was years ago. Doing so is the first step. This week on the podcast and in the detailed article we will walk you through the whiplash injury, why life sets you up to fail the early recovery process and how understanding all this will lead to a "lightbulb moment". From there you can begin to start doing the right things to manage and resolve your long standing neck pain, even if it was caused by a whiplash injury quite some time ago.

Waking up with back pain in the middle of the night is a real problem and this happens for two main reasons. When your lower back is injured inflammation is being driven to your lower back. There is only so much space in the lower back where the nerves are located. Bony holes do not stretch when they are filled with inflammation the same way that other areas of the body will, for example the knee joint. On top of this, you're still so the little movements during the day that help drain extra inflammation are not occurring. These two factors add together and create trouble in your lower back which is why you find yourself waking at 3 in the morning in pain! There's much more to waking up with back pain in the middle of the night and we go into the detail in this weeks episode of the podcast, which you can check out in the link below.

There are good and bad treatments but the one thing that people frequently miss completely is the impermanence of a treatment. Back pain or sciatica is a you problem. If you do not keep your body in good condition, and do not take steps outside of the treatment room to work on supporting your body effectively, treatment effects for back pain will be limited in duration. Yes, even the best treatments in the world. There are 168 hours every week, and if you think you can get away with a 5 minute to 60 minute treatment outweighing 167+ hours of not taking care of your body you will not get better for any length of time. That's the bad news, the good news is, there are a HUGE number of things that you can do at home MOST OF THEM ARE FREE or minimal cost that will improve your health and mean that if you are to spend time and money on treatments or programs, you give yourself the best possible chance to be an OVER-RESPONDER instead of an UNDER-RESPONDER. 🗞️ Join The Sunday Newsletter Free: 👉 https://backinshapeprogram.com/sunday/ #BackInShape #BackPain

🎙️ Back Pain and Sciatica: How the Child's Pose Stretch Could Be Making It Worse Child's pose stretch is commonly recommended if you have back pain or sciatica. It rounds the lower back thereby stretching the muscles and the ligaments on the back of your lower spine. But is this really helpful if you have back pain and sciatica. Sure, it feels nice when you do the child's pose stretch. But there are many things that feel nice for your back pain or sciatica that are certainly not helpful! And on top of that, is the child's pose really helping your back or is it simply stretching already exhausted low back muscles further? When you take a step back and examine what the child's pose is doing to the lower back, and review if this is helpful or not given how your back pain or sciatica was caused. We start to see, in the vast majority of cases the child's pose stretch is a waste of time, and in a significant majority, it is detrimental to the resolution of your back injury.

If you have lower back surgery scheduled then the number one mistake that people make that you must avoid is this: Stopping doing anything productive for their low back to "wait" until after the back surgery. This is a huge mistake as often you're still doing all the bad things for your back. While you've got the surgery booked for your low back you might as well make use of this time and learn the right sort of exercises to do to help you recover from the back surgery. Of course, if your surgery is an emergency that's different, but often back surgery is scheduled for a couple of weeks, sometimes we've had patients or members scheduled months out! Make the time to get your body in better condition now! The worst case scenario is that your low back pain recovers better after surgery because you are stronger and move better. Best case is that you realise perhaps you didn't need low back surgery after all! 🗞️ Join The Sunday Newsletter Free: 👉 https://backinshapeprogram.com/sunday/ #BackInShape #BackPain #backsurgery
