Surprising Back Statistics

Many people believe that most back pain is caused by a slipped disc. This means the disk, which is like a springy disc made of of cartilage with fluid inside (nature's shock absorber) has either ruptured, or moved out of the correct position in your spine. However, in fact less than 5% of lower back pain results from slipped discs.

Nevertheless, more than 80% of us will experience back pain at some point in our lives - for example around 6.5 million Americans are treated for back pain every day.

The factors that increase the risks of you experiencing back pain or sciatica include common conditions such as:

• Sitting for long periods (especially with an incorrect posture)
• Driving for long periods without taking a break for a stretch or a walk 
• As you would expect, heavy lifting with incorrect posture is bad news for your back
• Also being overweight & smoking definitely don't help

The good news is that fewer than one person in a thousand who experience back pain will need surgery.

As you might expect, its better if you get help and take action early before the problem becomes chronic, because it will probably reduce the extent of the injury or damage.

Of course, prevention is even better than a cure, so we'll also help you learn about what you can do to stop it from happening in the first place.

4. Start an eating regime that gives your body the nutrition it needs to function and heal itself properly.

There is no rocket science here - a simple diet with a good selection of fresh foods is one of the keys to anti aging.

Maybe Granny was right! A good diet and moderate exercise really are 2 keys to a long healthy life. We don't think you need to swallow a bucket full of pills and supplements everyday.

However, because many of the foods we eat are highly processed, we do suggest a natural nutrition supplement to make sure your body gets all the nutrients it needs. The BodyBalance supplement is the best we've found so far.

Remember to read our disclaimer. We are not medical practitioners and you should always consult your doctor, health practitioner or back specialist, especially if you experience progressive weakness in the legs or difficulties with bladder or bowel functions (e.g. incontinence).

Do I Have To Do This?

You don't have to! But of course its your back and of course it's up to you what you do. Here's the thing, a big part of your quality of life and happiness is going to depend on the state of your back and the sooner you start, the quicker you'll get results.

It's hard to enjoy life and have a good time if you have constant nagging back pain, sciatica, or if you often feel tired and under the weather.

What If I'm Sick?

If you're already sick, or your back really hurts and you think you've injured yourself, go and see a health practitioner. We recommend alternative and natural remedies, exercise and chiropractic care, but if you're sick and accustomed to mainstream healthcare, go and see your doctor.

The whole point of the practices we recommend are to help you build a strong, healthy back. That way you are less likely to hurt yourself or get sick in the first place, but if you do you can help your body to help itself.

You will be amazed at how quickly you can get well when your back and body gets what they it need. Often something as simple as taking a wholefood supplement can top up your depleted reserves, so that your body quickly goes and heals itself. (This can happen after a long regime of prescription drugs that haven't helped your body at all).

How To Help Yourself

Fundamentally your body is a natural wellness machine that will heal itself in most circumstances, if you give it a chance.

Similarly, if you exercise and strengthen your back in line with specialist care (we suggest you try chiropractic if you haven't already), most of the time, it will get better. Try The Better Back System at home risk free. It only takes about 5 minutes and has a 97% chance of success.

We also recommend natural health practices because in our opinion, many modern medical practices actually make things worse. They bombard your body with drugs and these drugs often obstruct the body from going about its natural healing processes and mask what your underlying problems are.

Can This Help Me If I'm Rundown?

Yes, what we recommend works when you're rundown, but really, it works a lot better if you take on looking after your back and your health as a practice and make it a habit in your life.

For example, if you're feeling tired and listless, often exercise (the right type) will make you feel better, even though it might be the last thing you feel like doing. Exercise gets your body's energies flowing again, essentially it "cranks up your engine".
