THE MAJOR CHALLENGE IN TREATING BACK PAIN

 is that 85% of the time the cause of back pain is unknown. This means that the cause is unknown for 60 million people in the US alone. As a society we have to ask ourselves the obvious question: What is missing?



The focus of back pain treatment has been on problems in the back, whereas problems in our bodies – other than the back – have been overlooked as the cause of back pain.

It is that basic. What has been missing is that you can have limitations in mechanics (range of motion, strength, trunk stability) throughout your body which place excess force on your back during activity, usually the activities that increase your back pain.

This book presents the fundamental information that has been missing in the evaluation and treatment of back pain.

If your back pain increases when you stand, has anyone determined if you have the mechanics you need to stand?

For instance:

Do you have the ankle joint motion required for standing?
Do you have the hip range of motion required for standing?

If more than once you have had back pain that increases when you stand, chances are you have limitations in the mechanics you need to stand.

It is that basic.

If your pain increases:

  • when walking, you probably have limitations in the mechanics needed for walking
  • when standing, you probably have limitations in the mechanics needed for standing
  • when sitting, you probably have limitations in the mechanics needed for sitting

If your pain increases during all three of those activities, walking, standing and sitting, chances are you have limitations in the mechanics needed for all of those activities.

Rescue Your Back presents an approach to back pain that evaluates your body as an integrated system in order to identify the problems throughout your body that place excess force on your back.

This is not a self help book. Just as you should have help to treat your heart disease or cancer you should also have help to treat your back pain.

This book is a guide for you on the road to address your pain. The book includes:

  • fundamental information about the mechanics of your body
  • fundamental information about human mechanics and back pain
  • how to customize this book for your issues
  • steps to find a physical therapist
  • an outline of the recommended evaluation so that you know what to expect when you see the physical therapist, also you can judge whether you received the evaluation that is recommended
  • information on how to develop a protective program
  • information on how to develop a corrective program
  • patient education material to use with the physical therapist in developing your programs, including:
    • pictures of how to protect your back with positioning during daily activities
    • how to develop an independent Quick-Relief Strategy
    • exercises to start to address your mechanical problems
  • a DVD is also included as a visual aid to supplement some of the ideas expressed in the book.
