Grave-Robbers Document Back Pain Fast-Relief Solution - Modern Science Confirms It?
Grave Robbers Document Ancient Back Pain Solutions
Pain in the lower back has been a problem with no good remedies for thousands of years. Mummy-hunting grave-robbers dug up an Egyptian papyri dated over 3,500 years ago that describes a common treatment plan for lower back strain. Their treatment is 1,085% better than the "usual treatment" for back pain today? Here's why (with a bit of history thrown-in):
In Bible times the patriarch Jacob may have suffered from an episode of sciatica after wrestling with God's night-messenger, despite the pain he insisted on a blessing - if not a back pain cure. Ever since, low back pain has been considered a supernatural curse with elves, witches...and Jacob's angel to blame. But for pain-relief seekers, new approaches can bring fast-relief for back pain - especially if you're "stuck!"
Back Pain Solutions - No Good For Fakers
Then, starting 100 years ago, LBP began to develop a reputation as the illness-of-choice for malingerers - some doctors even questioning its factual existence. These days, we know it is often very real - but may be exaggerated for purposes from sympathy to outright monetary gain.
If you're reading this, odds are you want real - and fast - pain-relief. Those who demand chronic pain meds and long-term disability are either "Stuck" with back pain they don't want or "Sticking" society with the bill for their own long-term emotional disturbances. Nothing personal, but the facts of recent research reveal that there are good solutions - even cures for 98% of those who really want to get rid of their back pain. But the new approaches take a little work and the dedication to find out how to get relief - when the healthcare system is an obstacle - not a help.
Back Pain Statistics - Fast-Relief Up to "10X" Faster Is Possible
Overall, up to 85% of people experience at least one episode of severe back pain at least once in their lifetime. Every year, as many as one-third of people experience back pain, with 4 out of 5 seeking medical treatment.
Inactive adults between the ages of 45 and 60 are most commonly impacted with low back pain symptoms. Conversely, limited activity secondary to an episode of lower back pain is the most-frequently reported reason for those under age 45.
Little is known about the actual, specific causes of low back pain. Injury is a factor in up to 50% of cases. But, in 80-90% of people, a specific source of the back pain is not identified.
New Back Pain Solutions - Topicals + "Pattern-Recognition" or "10X" Therapy
This has resulted in a recent change in recommended treatment with a large 2009 clinical report describing up to 10.85 times the pain-relief success using a new approach which bypasses expensive and time-consuming work-ups involving narcotics, muscle relaxers, MRI's, epidural steroids and surgery. The delays in back pain-relief are not justified say authors of new spine specialty texts published by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons and North American Spine Society.
With standard or "conventional medical approach", recurrence rates are substantial. The chance of developing recurrent lower back pain in the first year is 30-44%. With the new "pattern-recognition" approach it appears that may be cut in half. Chiropractic treatment leaves patient with a reported recurrence rate of 81% according to the recent literature.
Back pain occurs just as commonly in men as in women, but disc disorders appear more frequently in men. Surprisingly, disc problems - even herniation - also respond faster to the newer - alternative approach. (10X)
The latest guidelines recommend a focus on both alleviating symptoms promptly and preventing future episodes. With the new "targeted-delivery" approach using powerful topical pain medications to get relief within an hour and more long-lasting relief now possible with the "10X" or pattern-recognition approach.
The new pattern-recognition - at-least one-third of back pain sufferers - uses a special prone-posture treatment regimen that provides fast-relief within "hours-to-days" according to spine experts in 2009.
