The Biggest Back Pain Secret They Don't Want You to Know

Now, this is not some conspiracy theory, but it is a fact. There is a back pain secret that those in the structural professions would prefer you not to know. Why?Well knowing this allows you to remove your pain yourself. Understandably, there are times when it is best to seek help. You may have had a major fall or injury and then it is wise to seek attention from a health professional.But research has shown that most back pain is the result of many small injuries over time. The final act you say caused your pain is never serious enough to cause any pain at all. So in fact it is this accumulation of small injuries over time.This means you can therefore target those areas that are generating your pain, eliminate the problem and become pain free.So what is this big secret?Actually I've already stated it. You are able to remove pain yourself. You don't need help from anyone else, you can save money consulting a Chiropractor, Physio or even your Doctor.What they don't want you to know is that back pain is caused by three simple elements. Each can be addressed at home with simple techniques.The first cause is Trigger Points. These are small nodules in the muscle where the nerve meets the muscle itself. Those nodules can cause local pain, referred pain and even cause the joint closest t stiffen and tighten.Removing these only requires some digital pressure (finger tip pressure) to break these points down. No need for some contraption that's going to cost you a hundred dollars or more. No need for injections or even a massage.All you need to do is press on them to release the point, stretch the muscle and use some simple Acupressure techniques to make sure they never return.The second cause is muscle imbalances. This is not just muscles that are weak or tense. It relates to their nerve and blood supply too. Correct the nerve and blood supply, stretch those that are tight and strengthen those that are weak and you have balanced your muscular system.Sure there are certain stretches that are more effective, that only take a few seconds to both stretch and strengthen the muscles, but even the standard stretches will help.The final cause is joint imbalances, an area few mention as this is the area of seeing a practitioner such as a Chiropractor or Physio. However, this is probably the biggest secret of all.You can adjust your spine your self, you can balance the pelvis, and you can do this painlessly, without the "crack" and you can help get your joints moving like a well oiled machine.This one area is rarely discussed or talked about as muscle imbalances are easy to sell. Each internet site will have their own brand of "miracle" stretches or exercises. Btu they seldom work long term unless you balance the joints also.This is why this is not discussed. If you can't teach someone to self-adjust their spine then you are only covering at most two thirds of the issues, and that's if you mention trigger points which most don't.So don't be fooled, you can help yourself remove pain. Back pain is not rocket science, but it is a science and a methodical approach to remove each and every cause. As I said, in serious situations you should seek help, but for the majority learning simple ways to remove trigger points, balance muscle and correct joint imbalances, will lead you to a life free of back pain.

Scoliosis Exercise - Are Weak Muscles The Cause?

One of the most common misconceptions I find among the general public in regards to understanding idiopathic scoliosis is they feel the condition is somehow due to weak spinal muscles or curve progression can be halted by strengthening spinal muscles through general scoliosis exercises. Both of these concepts couldn't be any further from the truth.While it is true that spinal muscle strength does become unbalanced in moderate to severe scoliosis spines, this is a secondary adaptation to the structural curve in the spine, and not the cause of idiopathic scoliosis. This is confirmed by normal EMG studies in early stage scoliosis patients that later show hyper-tonic muscles on the convexity of the curvature a substantial amount of time after the curve as already progressed. Therefore, it is a secondary adaptation and not the cause of, nor the reason for scoliosis curve progression.The muscles aren't weak, they are discoordinated.Idiopathic scoliosis is primarily a neurological condition that has it primary effects on the spinal column. Essentially the brain's postural feedback mechanisms aren't working correctly and they don't set off any "red flags" in the brain's automatic postural control centers. No alarms going off in the brain's automatic postural control centers means the muscles aren't directed to self correct the abnormal posture and the spinal curve (scoliosis) is the result. It would be similar to the brains cardiac system having a malfunction causing the heart muscle to beat irregularly. The young child with this genetic predisposition for idiopathic scoliosis will have a postural control center that isn't functioning correctly so the body position isn't symmetrical where the brain and body don't seem to be communicating very well.Environmental influences, especially biomechanical forces, work as scoliosis curve accelerators.While early stage scoliosis appears to be the result of a genetic under-development of the automatic postural control centers in the brain, the reason some curves progress to a severe degree appears to be largely dependent on both genetic and environmental influences...especially bio-mechanical influences like head position, hip rotation, and certain activities (ballet, gymnastics, etc). This would explain the significant increase in likelihood of curve progression in scoliosis spines with a cobb angle larger than 20 degrees versus scoliosis spines with a cobb angle less than 20 degrees. There seems to be a very strong correlation between increased rotation of the spine when the bending and translational component seem to reach 20 degrees or higher. The more these environmental factors interact with the poor sensory integration system (posture control mechanism) the worse the scoliosis becomes like pouring gas on a lit flame.No one is arguing the value of good core strength and stability, but it probably plays little to no role in the development of, nor the progression of idiopathic scoliosis curve progression. The only scoliosis exercise based rehab program that will have any true effect on the spinal curvature is one that is specifically designed to "re-train" the automatic postural control centers in the brain. Successful alternative scoliosis treatment will effectively strengthen the posture control mechanism not try to strengthen a weak muscle.

Dr Brian T Dovorany and Dr Clayton J Stitzel specialize in alternative scoliosis treatment for both children and adults. Their "scoliosis boot camp" and "early stage scoliosis intervention" programs are gaining interest from around the world. Dr Stitzel is a past director of the CLEAR Scoliosis Institute and Dr. Dovorany is an active member of the CLEAR Institute Advisory Board and Adva

Solar Energy Helping Interplanetary Travel

Space travel has always been one of the goals of the modern society and because no present technology is even remotely capable of providing the necessary speed or reliability to help us travel to distant planets, but the scientists think they discovered the answer to this problem with solar energy.Solar energy is not only light and heat, it is also a very powerful fuel for future spaceships. In fact, you could at it like the wind that blows into sales on earth and helps ships move. The future spaceships will have giant solar sales made out of an aluminum foil that reflects the solar energy and pushes the ship forward, steadily increasing the speed to reach a tenth of the speed of light. That is the goal of this project, to create a ship capable traveling with that kind of speed which will make the solar system a smaller place. We could reach the sun in less than 2 hours at that speed. If this sounds hard to believe you should try to imagine millions of particles forming the solar energy hitting that immense foil and slowly accelerating the entire ship. In space, all things are much lighter than they are on earth and because of the fact that there is no air to slow you down, you can travel much faster with much smaller amounts of energy.Solar energy is the answer to many issues on earth because while it is free and it comes in large amounts every day, you can harvest it and use it in different ways to achieve different goals. For now, we should stick to using it in order to produce electrical energy and try saving the planet before it is too late. In the future, when technology allows it, we will surely find more uses for it.
