We at the Better Back System have discovered that the third
element of the spine's control mechanisms - Neural (nerve
path) Control - is the missing link from almost all treatments
currently available.
Now to answer the question: Why does back pain keep on
recurring…?
Medical statistics show that in the spinal area, the pain
of the original injury can recur in 80% or more of cases
without further obvious injury.
So why does this happen? The answer to this question can
be quite complex, but in simple terms, the spine loses its
active stability subsystem due to the injury, and this stability
does not spontaneously return once the injury has resolved.
I'll say that again: this stability does not spontaneously
return once the injury has resolved itself.
Here's what scientists have known for many years: When
we injure muscles in our body, our brain "switches
off" the affected area to put it temporarily out of
action so that healing can occur. When we injure muscles
in our arms or legs, our brain switches these muscles back
on again relatively quickly, so that normal function is
restored without undue delay. We believe this is because
most of us use our arms and legs as nature intended - more
or less.
But here's what scientists have only recently discovered:
When muscles along our spine are injured, the nerve paths
to those muscles in many cases are NOT restored without
undue delay. We at the Better Back System believe this happens
because most of us most of the time DON'T use our backs
as nature intended.
So instead of using our backs properly: o We slouch around
when we walk. o We lounge around watching TV on our sofas
like monkeys (actually we don't lounge around like monkeys
- monkeys have very little back pain because they DO use
their backs as nature intended). o Kids carry heavy school
bags over one shoulder placing huge stresses on their spines
daily. o The work we do puts us into highly stressful physical
positions.
For example, hairdressers hold their arms up for hours,
with their shoulders hunched and heads stuck forward. House
painters move just one arm for many hours, and when painting
ceilings, tilt their heads back and put enormous strain
on their necks. o We spend hours non-stop crouched over
a keyboard or papers on our desk - and by the way, this
is one of the major work hazards of the last twenty years.
o We pick up heavy or awkward things incorrectly. .
