Back Pain Relief
If you're like 80% of Americans, you've experienced back pain at some point in your life. According to the National Institutes of Health, back pain is the most common neurological disorder in the United States, second only to headache. But there's no reason to suffer through back pain. The Egoscue Method is a unique and very effective program designed to provide natural back pain relief without drugs, surgery, or manipulation.
Back pain is such a common problem because we don't move enough to live pain free without some sort of efficient, functional intervention. The muscles that support the spine are constantly in use, and any sort of misalignment or dysfunction in this complicated system of muscles, discs, bones, ligaments and tendons can sentence you to lifelong chronic back pain. Relief from back pain is a reality, however, with the Egoscue Method of health through motion.
The source of back pain, or really any sort of pain you are experiencing, is a disruption in the way your body is supposed to move. A car accident, a lifting accident, or simply the way you stand can all alter your alignment and cause your body to compensate. If you have back pain, the first step is to be properly assessed by an Egoscue therapist to determine the source of muscular imbalance.
Our primary rule is to ignore the symptom as it relates to the cause of the pain. The symptom never dictates our approach to therapy, but it is instead a temporary limitation. The body is a highly integrated structure and by focusing on an area of pain or abnormality (i.e. edema, muscle tension), we are ignoring the rest of the factors in a very large equation. The compensation that has occurred as a result of dysfunction generally appears as a symptom in another area of the body, so it's possible that the cause of a particular symptom, such as back pain, is a structural/mechanical problem on the other side of the body.
When you arrive at our clinic an Egoscue therapist will evaluate your posture, gait and stride, and watch as you perform a range of motions in order to identify the source of dysfunction. They will then design a back pain relief exercise program with basic stretches, yoga movements and static strengthening exercises for you and your postural deficiencies. Once this program is put into place, the body can be allowed to restore muscular balance and pain will diminish, if not completely disappear.
