Back Pain

One of the most common reason for calling on your Doctor is back pain. In fact, children are also a part of more than 2.5 million people encountering back pain daily. At some stage of their adult lives, four out of five people are likely to suffer from back pain.

There are different and at times, complex origins for back pain. Vertebrae are the 24 singular bony segments of our spine.

Probable reasons for back pain are:

• Nerve irritation
• Probable strain of muscles
• Damage or injury of joints, ligaments or bones
• Possible injury of  the disc between the vertebrae, and
• Inferior posture

Strained muscles are the most frequent cause of back pain. The vertebrae can be ‘pulled’ from its usual location due to the strains tightening muscles about the spine. Consequently, a number of bodily problems arise, from kidney trouble to headaches.

Every single vertebrae of our spine is connected to countless nerves, which in turn influence our whole body. Disorders in your body including back pain will crop up out of a shift in your vertebrae.

Our bodies do not get the necessary routine physical exercise to stay in the peek of health in today’s scenario, because of desk centered work and computers. Did you have any idea that the heavy wallet you carry around in your back pocket throughout the day injures your back?

Bowen Therapy and the treatment of back pain

Successful treatment of back pain involving even herniated discs has been possible with Bowen Therapy. In reality, one of the most recurring ailments treated by Bowen Therapists is back pain.

Cases of people suffering from mysterious and irregular back pain for a long stretch of time are common. Yet, they have been relieved of this pain only after two sessions of Bowen Therapy.

The following tips can help to keep our back pain-free, including the correct posture:

Choose different pockets for putting your wallet.  
Alternate both your back and jacket pockets. In this manner, both side of your body will get an opportunity to stretch.

Climb out of the car with both feet on the ground.  
When you are turning from the car, swing both legs out of the door at the same instant. The pressure is then evenly distributed on the pelvis.

Stretch in the morning.  
Your spine wakes up (rejuvenated) through some simple stretches in the morning.

Never sit at a stretch for a long time.  
Your body needs a wake up call through action every half an hour. Just stand up and walk about. Your spine will benefit even if you move about for a minute.

By doing the above in addition to Bowen Therapy sessions, one can achieve excellent results in reducing (sometimes totally getting rid of) back pain.
