Why Back Pain is Hard to Treat and a New 3-Step Treatment That is Showing Promise.
Also serving Halls Crossroads, Powell, Fountain City & Heiskell
Living with back pain, muscle spasms and shooting leg pain can feel like a crippling experience. Nothing’s worse than feeling great mentally, but physically feeling held back from life because the pain just won’t go away.
I know exactly what it’s like to be put out by back pain and have to sit on the sidelines and watch life pass you by.
In fact, I watched my mother fall victim to the same fate. It breaks my heart to talk about it, but I’m thankful for it because it led to the same breakthrough that I’m going to share with you today and the development of a new way to treat back pain that has now changed the lives of thousands of people.
If you like most back pain sufferers I see in my clinic, you've likely struggled to find lasting relief with physical therapy, chiropractic, acupuncture, or pain management alone. Plus, you may have experienced unwanted side effects from medications or failed surgical procedures.
The problem is that back pain is a symptom of a medical condition, not a diagnosis. Often, the symptoms are treated but the biomechanical and physiological conditions causing the back pain are not.
In a moment, I'll explain exactly why that is, as well as a new approach thousands of people have used to get back to the activities they love like hiking, fishing, gardening and more.
Pain is one of the greatest health care disasters in our lifetime. Medication, supplements, shots, and surgery have failed to cure the cause of pain and may even exacerbate the problem.
I know you are probably frustrated because of your pain, and maybe you feel down because you’ve tried other cures, treatments, and maybe even surgery and none of these treatments have worked.
Listen, you might even be embarrassed because you've had to 'sit this one out' the last time your family went on a hike or trip to the beach. Worse yet, it's a double whammy because all the while, they have zero idea how much it crushes you inside to tell them no.
I want you to know that these feelings are valid and normal. And in just a moment, I'll reveal exactly how I treat even the worst cases -- including how you could be next.
Don't Lose Hope
You are also probably a little distrusting of any new treatment claiming it can treat your pain or make you feel better. I get it.
Have supplements, prescription pain pills, shots, pain treatments, or even surgery failed to ease your pain? Have you tried everything, but received no relief? Have you been let down over and over again by unmet promises?
Look, there is no miracle cure. I’m certainly not going to claim that I have a miracle cure either, but there is hope! Patients are getting relief from back pain and returning to the things they enjoy.
The Cause of Most Back Pain
But, before I tell you about a new way to treat back pain, let’s start with what causes most back pain.
Over time, due to injury, poor posture and other complications, the disc in your spine compress, become misaligned, bulge and start degenerating. As the disc bulge, they put pressure on the nerves causing irritation which sends pain signals that can become chronic.
In order to relieve the pain, you have to address the degeneration process. Unfortunately, most clinics completely skip this process. Thankfully, after 20+ years of seeing thousands of patients, I’ve devised a proprietary 3-step process that attacks degeneration.
If you can stop the degeneration and even correct it, your pain will be reduced and your body can begin the process of healing itself like it was designed to do.
Why Other Back Pain Treatments May Fail
This is why many back pain treatments don’t work. Supplements, medications, injections, and even surgery don’t correct the fundamental degeneration issue occurring in your spine.
That’s why many of these treatments are considered pain management. They have nothing to do with healing the cause of the pain, but only managing the pain by masking it temporarily.
Typically most back pain treatment plans start with medicine and injections, and eventually lead to surgery. Some patients find a little relief with traditional chiropractic therapy and physical therapy, but unless you go with enough frequency, the lasting effect will be minimal.
This is exactly what we do different at Renuva Back & Pain Centers. We're one of the only places in the area to effectively attacks the root cause of pain, and we have a track record of over 96% of people who say they would refer family and friends for back pain. I'll get to the specifics of how you can try it yourself in just a moment.
The Truth About Medications, Supplements or Nerve Blockers
Until now, there have been a lot of prescription pain medications with troublesome or addicting side effects. Plus, there have been loads of individual supplements that give you so-so results for your pain.
Sometimes, the results you got were so subtle and insignificant for a few moments you thought your symptoms had faded or, perhaps, had gone away on their own.
But, eventually, the symptoms return.
Drug and supplement companies continue to profit from your pain. The pain is so bad that you will do anything to get relief. Not even considering the fact that supplements and pain medications are addictive and have awful side effects, they merely mask the pain and do not treat the cause of the problem.
While your pain is masked, you return to normal activity which can cause more damage and make things worse!
Before You Consider Going Under The Knife
You should seriously consider NOT getting surgery. Just like supplements and medication, surgery is not a silver bullet cure in most cases.
Studies show that there are 600,000-plus disk surgeries that are performed in the United States annually (a significant increase of late), as many as 90 percent are unnecessary and ineffective.
In 2010, researchers reviewed records from 1,450 patients in the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation database who had diagnoses of disc degeneration and disc herniation. Half of the patients had surgery to fuse two or more vertebrae in the hopes of resolving their low back pain. The other half had no surgery, even though they had comparable diagnoses.
After two years, only 26 percent of those who had surgery had returned to work, compared to 67 percent of patients who did not have surgery. Of the lumbar fusion subjects, 36 percent had complications and 27 percent required another operation.
Permanent disability rates were 11 percent for patients undergoing surgery, compared to only 2 percent for patients who did not undergo surgery. In what might be the most troubling finding, researchers determined there was a 41 percent increase in the use of painkillers, with 76 percent of surgery patients continuing opioid use after surgery.
The study provides clear evidence that for many patients, fusion surgeries designed to alleviate pain from degenerating discs do not work.
Surgery doesn’t provide a long-term fix for the fundamental problem. Surgery can also result in reduced mobility, stiffness, and continuing pain, also known as “failed-back syndrome.”
Surgery is also associated with risks, and the outcome in many patients is unpredictable. Surgery requires additional pain medications during recovery, and recovery times can be weeks or months before your function is restored.
The truth is that 90 percent of back pain can be resolved without surgery if both doctors and patients are willing to try other treatments that basically help the back to heal itself.
The Solution: CoreCare
After watching my mom suffer from chronic pain for two decades with little relief from traditional treatments I became a doctor and began working with researchers to find real medical solutions that treat the cause of back pain.
As a result, CoreCare was developed and has helped thousands suffering from back pain.
CoreCare is a 3-phase, non-surgical and drug-free treatment that combines FDA-cleared technology with science based treatment methodologies.
CoreCare focuses on treating the cause of the pain, improving structure and restoring function.
CoreCare is no miracle cure. It is a methodical and scientific approach to actually healing your back pain by correcting the fundamental biomechanical issues happening in your body.
Finally, You Have an Option Other than Drugs or Surgery
So, what does CoreCare include? It’s hard to fully explain a medical treatment without seeing it first hand, but one of the 3-phases includes a new treatment called Photobiomodulation (PBM). Research shows PBM is having a profound effect on patients suffering from back pain.
PBM Therapy has thousands of papers published on it and has been shown to aid in damaged tissue regeneration, decrease inflammation, relieve pain and boost the immune system.
Before the FDA would approve Class IV Lasers for PBM Therapy, they required evidence that it was safe for use on humans. This lead to studies on safety but also numerous studies on the effectiveness of PBM Therapy. One study from Lasers in Surgery and Medicine found that 70% of back pain patients who received PBM Therapy maintained pain relief at their one-month follow-up vs. only 28% of back pain patients who received a Lidocaine injection.
Another study by the American College of Physicians found that pain medication and steroids were limited in improving pain outcomes or treating low back pain.
For patients with chronic low back pain, ACP recommends that physicians and patients initially select non-drug therapies like multi-disciplinary rehabilitation, PBM Therapy and spinal manipulation – all of which are included in Renuva’s 3-phase CoreCare treatment protocol.
