How to Get Fast Backpain Relief
If you’ve had low back pain for more than a few days, especially if it’s a few weeks or more, life can be pretty miserable. Finding the best steps to get fast, lasting backpain relief can be a real challenge. Especially in this day and age of “TMI” on the internet – no telling what really works to give better back pain relief.
Until now.
“Top Secret” Best Steps to Back Pain Relief
“Top secret” because nobody – not even WebMD gives you the proven steps to faster back pain relief, based on clinical evidence.
Step #1: Make sure you give top priority to identifying and understanding “What-to-do” rather than “Who-to-see.”
Recent publications of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) show that most doctors still rely on the outmoded prescribe-narcotics-and-get-an-MRI treatment plan – now known as a “Failed Approach.”
Problem is: Many doctors – even specialists – simply aren’t up on the latest evidence-based research and treatment guidelines. Increased use of MRIs is proven to result in increased surgery and treatment failure. (No pain relief)
Chiropractic is little-if any-better. Clinical research shows only a 19% success rate at providing lasting relief for low back pain using chiropractic manipulation therapy. Consumer Reports gave chiropractic only a 35% satisfaction success rate.
Step #2: Rule out the “Red Flags” – These are causes of back pain that can kill or cripple you, but can easily be ruled out with a three-four-minute questionnaire. Get a FREE copy of Dr. Dan’s “Back Pain Red Flag Secrets” and you’ll know if you have any increased risk of cancer or other dangerous causes of back pain.
Step #3: Don’t get x-rays or an MRI early-on unless you have a red flag warning sign of a possibly dangerous cause of your back pain.
The American College of Physicians, AAOS and the journals Annals of Internal Medicine and Lancet all describe the problems caused by excessive X-ray and MRI use for most back pain. Too many times MRIs simply don’t show the cause of pain and they frequently mislead doctors into costly – and unnecessary – treatment that doesn’t work and you don’t need.
Yes, it is tempting to think that your back pain is not “most” back pain. Be warned, study after study confirm that most back pain has a relatively straightforward, benign cause and can readily resolve with simple treatment – sometimes none at all.
But there are substantial risks of getting unnecessary X-rays and MRI’s – for most people with back pain.
Step #4: Don’t get shots, traction machines or surgery unless you have failed to improve with a full course of “Pattern Recognition Therapy.”
Step #5: Do try topical pain relief medication. This can be obtained either over-the-counter (only Comfrey-based products) or by prescription and provides up-to-95 percent back pain relief starting as soon as 10 minutes.
Each of these easy steps to back pain relief are very evidence-based but too new for most doctors to be familiar with. You can get the inside scoop on topical pain relief medications in “Topical Pain Relief Secrets.” CLICK “PLAY” NOW ABOVE…(I’m NOT selling potions, lotions or gizmos)
