Back pain (also known "dorsalgia") is pain felt in the back that may originate from the muscles, nerves, bones, joints or other structures in the spine.
The pain may have a sudden onset or it can be a chronic pain, it can be felt constantly or intermittently, stay in one place or refer or radiate to other areas. It may be a dull ache, or a sharp or piercing or burning sensation. The pain may be felt in the neck (and might radiate into the arm and hand), in the upper back, or in the low back, (and might radiate into the leg or foot), and may include symptoms other than pain, such as weakness, numbness or tingling.
Back pain is one of humanity's most frequent complaints. In the U.S., acute low back pain (also called lumbago) is the fifth most common reason for all physician visits. About nine out of ten adults experience back pain at some point in their life, and five out of ten working adults have back pain every year.

Are You Making These Mistakes With Your Back Pain Or Sciatica?

Attention seriousness Back & pain in the legs patients and looking for a cure for back pain ...

Common Mistakes Made by Back Pain sufferers



  • thinking they only walk away


  • think that medicine will fix a damaged disc or spinal


  • think that endless chiropractic adjustments sooner or later the problem


  • think that more exercises or massage will do the trick


  • think that steroid injections are safe and can fix the problem

  • think that all spinal decompression therapy is the same



�
your problem is not Going to Go Away ...

Severe low back pain and sciatica by stenosis, herniated disc drive, degenerative disc, bulging disc, broken disc, herniated disc, foraminal stenosis, failed back surgery and Facet arthrosis will not disappear on its own. In fact, these conditions are progressive degenerative conditions that only time.

worse with the failure of the old, traditional treatments ...

These back problems are caused by mechanical damage to the discs and nerves ... as medicine and shots can not repair it. You can not gas in your car to repair a flat tire.

Chiropractic and physical therapy are ideal for minor low back pain, but they simply can not repair a damaged disc lumbar support. The same goes for exercises, massage, acupuncture, etc.

The True dangers of shots ...

Steroid injections are invasive procedures, with all the risks of surgery, infections, nerve damage, allergic reaction, failed. The steroids injected into your spine are toxic. They cause loss of bone mineralization and weaken the supporting ligaments of the spine. Plus ... Injections can not repair the disc. Simply remove inflammation from the field ... temporarily.

a safer alternative to back surgery ...

In the old days, surgery was the only way for disc disease. This is the 21st Century! Advances in computer medical technology has made us safe, effective and rapid methods for the repair of damaged discs without surgery. It's called Spinal decompression or spinal disc Distraction (IID therapy)

caution Wannabes and so-called experts ...

Many clinics advertise "spinal decompression," but few actually use true spinal decompression Equipment. Some use heated traction older machines or roller tables and call it decompression. They are not. And some decompression machines are inferior in quality and patient build features, the treatment even more convenient. Not all equipment is the same. There is a reason why BMW and Mercedes cost more than Ford or Nissan. It's in the construction and performance.

And not all doctors, the spinal decompression are the same. Some are only general chiropractors without specific additional training in orthopedics or CD's disease. Some have spinal disc decompression only as an additional source of revenue to their existing clinics.

 

True spinal decompression specialists, like Dr Barry L Marks, DC have specialized training in spinal orthopedics and have spinal decompression centers dedicated to back pain and sciatica sufferers.

Nowadays we hear more and more info every day about the use of stem cells. One such I read in "The Washington Times" about Stem Cells Can Aid Spinal Disc Repair(http://www.washingtontimes.com/weblogs/back-pain/2009/Jan/05/stem-cells-can-aid-spinal-disc-repair/). This is going to be a real hope, of an effective new treatment for the many sufferers of low back pain.
