I’ve been struggling with back pain for over 5 years and sciatica for about a year and a half, some days are worse than others but I recently tripped while carrying a 20L jug of ingredients up the stairs at work which aggravated it worse than it’s been in a long time. It’s now causing me stiffness and pain even in the morning when I first get out of bed which is something I’d never had a problem with before, it was always sore at the end of the day but started out feeling alright in the mornings until this most recent incident.

Over the last 5 years or so I’ve discovered a few things that do give me some low back and hip pain relief, but so far I haven’t discovered any lasting remedy. Although I still suffer with back pain daily, I’d like to share some of the best sciatic pain relief tips that I’ve come up with this far into my quest to cure back pain.

Remember that these tips are only what seem to help with my specific condition, they may or may not help you with your back pain. I’m sure some of this information will be relevant to your condition, but some of it won’t be and could actually cause more damage depending on what is causing your pain.

If you aren’t sure what’s right for you, consult your physio-therapist, chiropractor, and other health care providers before beginning to make anything you read here a regular part of your pain relief program or exercise regime.

Proteolytic Systemic Enzymes (Heal-n-Soothe)

Since I started this article talking about enzymes, I figure I might as well get them out of the way early. Heal-n-Soothe can help you reduce pain naturally. It’s an all natural formula designed to fight pain related to inflammation. It’s an all natural anti-inflammatory and not only does it relieve pain but it also works as an anti-viral, anti-bacterial immune system booster.

Heal-n-Soothe has helped hundreds of people ditch their prescription pain-killers and anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids). This is true for me too. I find Heal-n-Soothe works just as good as any of the over-the-counter pain relievers like Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Advil, or Aspirin. I’m still on my first bottle, but I’ve found it works best when you take the enzymes at night just before bed, as long as you’ve had an empty stomach for at least an hour or two. (you shouldn’t eat right before bed anyway) You also have to play with the dose, each person needs a different amount of Heal-n-Soothe for it to be effective. I am taking 8-12 capsules per day which is almost 3 times the recommended dosage on the bottle. This is safe, of course, because everything in Heal-n-Soothe is all natural and non-toxic with no reported side effects. I usually take 5 capsules right before bed, and if I need to, I take 3-5 in the morning when I get up if I feel stiff or sore.

The article above is actually an email I was sent by my friend Steve Hefferon from the Healthy Back Institute. When he saw that I was taking Heal-n-Soothe he thought I might like to know more about it so he sent me that email. When he found out I was building a website about back pain he told me that I could post it there if I wanted, so I did.

The Healthy Back Institute currently has a promotion going on where you can get a one month supply of Heal-n-Soothe for free if you pay the shipping. This is the same promotion that lured me into trying it, and I’m glad I signed up. Make sure you request your bottle before August 31st because they are taking down the free trial promotion in September.

Spinal Decompression with the Nubax Trio or an Inversion Table

The second most effective way to get fast sciatic relief for me is to use the Nubax Trio for spinal decompression (also known as ‘traction’). Decompression takes the pressure off of the sciatic nerve which is what causes me most of my pain. I’ve read some bad reviews online, especially on the nubax discussion threads on facebook, but I can honestly say that the Nubax Trio helps for my particular condition. Once again, it’s not a magic ‘cure all’ device, but I’m certainly glad that I dished out the $300 to get one.

Sometimes if I use the Nubax too frequently or for too long, or if I try to ‘force’ it and more traction than I should I will find it slightly painful afterwards. I’ve learned that less is more when dealing with back pain, so if you get yourself a Nubax Trio make sure you don’t over-do it.

I’ve never actually used an inversion table, but I think it would be a better choice than the Nubax. I got a Nubax Trio instead of an inversion table due to space restrictions and would have went with a full out inversion table if I had the space when I decided to try decompression, especially since they are the same price.

Muscle Balance Therapy (Lose The Back Pain)

Most back pain starts with an injury or ‘incident’ of some kind, but when it doesn’t go away after a few days it is usually because of pre-existing muscle imbalances or trigger points. If it’s a muscle imbalance causing the problem the imbalance pulls your hips out of alignment and keeps them there until the muscle imbalances are addressed with the correct set of stretches and exercises. Without addressing the underlying muscle imbalances you will never get complete and lasting lower back pain and sciatic relief (if your pain is caused by muscle imbalances!).

The Muscle Balance Therapy program called Lose The Back Pain that is offered by the Healthy Back Institute is a complete assessment and treatment program for muscle imbalances. I can attest to the accuracy of the assessment portion of the program because after going through the assessments I was told that I have a right side high hip and a backwards tilted pelvis. I recently switched to a new chiropractor with a very good reputation and went in for an assessment with him. After going through about 150 little tests in his office he told me that my left side hip is pretty much in proper alignment but my right side is twisting up and back. In other words he told me that I have a right side high hip with a backwards tilt. This abnormal torquing of my hips and lower back is probably what’s causing my sciatic pain.

The corrective exercises and stretches provided in the Lose The Back Pain system are unique to you and your condition which is why so many people get good results using this program. I’m still trying, but it definitely seems to be helping more than any other stretches or exercises that have ever been given by doctors, physio-therapists, or chiropractors.

Click here for one of the most effective stretches included in the Lose The Back Pain system. It’s the single most effective stretch for immediate relief of sciatic nerve pain for me. Another important stretch is the basic seated hamstring stretch. This is where you sit on the ground with one leg out and gently reach for your toes, this stretch is often neglected. There are about 18 other targeted stretches and exercises that the Lose The Back Pain system advised me to do and to do them all it takes about 45 minutes out of my day.

Massage Therapy

I just started seeing a highly recommended massage therapist and after only one session with her I know that she will be able to help me fix my back and finally get lasting relief. When I saw her for the first time she basically confirmed everything that the Lose The Back Pain system told me. She determined that the same muscles were tight that the Lose The Back Pain system said would be tight and needed to be stretched. After the first 90 minute session I had with my massage therapist I felt much better than I did when I went in. I felt much looser and I had a feeling of hope that getting rid of my sciatic pain is within reach.

It’s important to find a skilled and knowledgeable massage therapist, someone who knows about myofascial trigger points. Years ago when I had my first back injury I saw a crappy chiropractor and a crappy massage therapist who shared an office and waiting room. The massage therapist just did a general massage and didn’t really ask me any questions or do any sort of assessment. She just did a basic ‘feel good’ massage and hoped it would be enough for me. I don’t think she had even spoken to the chiropractor across the hall from her about my condition! Needless to say, I didn’t get any relief from her (or the chiropractor across the hall). Make sure you find a reputable massage therapist and be sure to tell them everything you know about your specific condition and the muscle imbalances that are causing you pain so that they can work with you to correct your problem.

A lot of problems are mimicked and worsened by persistent muscle pain, also called ‘trigger points’. This is turning out to be one of the big issues with my back, it’s actually muscle pain not really ‘back pain’.

Chiropractic Care

Up until recently I was fairly ‘anti-chiropractic’ because of the bad experience I had with a crappy chiropractor when I had my first back injury over 5 years ago. While doing all this research on back pain and sciatica over the last few months I’ve read a lot of good things about chiropractors so I decided to seek out a new chiropractor with a solid history of helping people with sciatic and lower back pain. I found one through a recommendation and went in for an assessment. The assessment was kind of pricey ($120) but the doctor spent nearly an hour and a half with me in his office doing a series of physical tests to determine an appropriate treatment. The other chiropractor didn’t do any of that with me and simply cracked my back and had me out of his office with my next scheduled appointment in my hand in less than 20 minutes.

Finding a reputable chiropractor is even more important than finding a reputable massage therapist. A chiropractor is physically, and sometimes forcefully, manipulating your spine and putting it into proper alignment. You don’t want just anyone manipulating your spine, it’s what protects your spinal cord and also what bears the weight of nearly everything you do during the course of a day. That’s why it’s extremely important that you form a strong relationship with your chiropractor and make sure that not only do you give them as much information as possible but they should also be explaining everything they are doing to you and why. A visit to the chiropractor should not be a quick-fix back cracking and then you’re out the door, your chiropractor should be spending time with you, explaining things, and giving you informed advice on how to correct your muscle imbalances so that you can keep your spine and hips in proper alignment.

My new chiropractor confirmed what the Lose The Back Pain system told me, I have an up and backward twisting of my hips on the right side, resulting in a right side high hip and a backwards tilted pelvis. The Lose The Back pain system helped me identify several corrective exercises and the chiropractor said that for now they looked good and to keep doing them but it’s likely that by my next visit (my second visit with him) he will likely have some which he will want to take off of my list and a few to add to it. So far this new chiropractor seems to be the most knowledgeable of all of those on my sciatic pain relief team. I truly hope he can help me eliminate my pain for good.

Acupuncture

A few months back I had two acupuncture sessions with a well respected acupuncturist near by. I did enjoy the treatment and thought the sensation of electrical pulse needles being stuck in my body was kind of cool, but the treatment didn’t seem to offer any real lasting relief.

Leaving the clinic I did feel good, I actually felt better than I did when leaving the chiropractor that I was seeing with my first injury. The feeling gave temporary relief that lasted a few days and then it went back to about normal after that. I do recommend that anyone interested in acupuncture goes and gives it a try. There’s certainly something to it and that’s why I’m writing about it here in this post.

Acupuncture is great for dealing with pain in the present moment, but I don’t think that acupuncture alone is the way to cure any chronic back pain problem or sciatica. I think that using an acupuncturist while doing the rest of the above steps could be useful, but I wouldn’t rely on acupuncture treatments alone to solve your back pain problems or give you lasting sciatic relief.

For now that’s all of the sciatic relief tips that I have to share with you. If I find new treatments that I deem worthy I will add them to this page or maybe write a new post about it, but for now these are all of the most effective back pain and sciatica treatments that I am aware of.

I hope this article helps you find lasting relief for your back pain or sciatic nerve pain.

Millions of people suffer from back pain unnecessarily when there is actually a very simple solution, according to Jesse Cannone , certified personal trainer and back pain specialist. “Unfortunately, many people are led to believe that back pain is normal and were all supposed to experience it… well, thankfully, that’s not the case. Eliminating back pain is not nearly as difficult as most people think or are led to believe… it can actually be easy!” says Cannone.

Here’s the simple system that MUST be followed if you are looking for real, long-term, lasting relief:

  1. Identify the cause – nearly all of the treatments people receive for back pain only focus on the symptoms and the health care professionals zoom in on only the problem area. The real key in eliminating back pain is to find out exactly what’s causing the problem… and most of the time it’s not even the back!
  2. Address both the cause and the symptom – the best approach is a combination of treating the symptoms for pain relief while also addressing the underlying cause.
  3. Be aware – many people suffering from back pain are not in tune with their bodies and during their treatment they do not realize what is working and what is not. In order to achieve long-term relief you have to understand how your body works, what’s causing the problem, and what changes have to be made to correct it.
  4. Consistent Focused Action – achieving success in anything requires consistency and focused action. Most people with back pain won’t make the time to work on their problem each day… instead they take pain killers which mask the pain and allow them to cause more damage while they continue with their life.
  5. Don’t do what doesn’t work – we already know that most traditional treatments for back pain don’t work…. why waste your time, energy, and money? The real key to eliminating back pain is to identify the true cause of the pain and then address it with a combination of treatments to treat both the cause and symptoms. Over 80% of all back pain is caused by muscle imbalances… NOT a lack of pain killers or surgery! Find out what’s going on in your body and take action.

Systemic Enzymes

Below is an email that my friend Steve Hefferon (CMT, PTA, CPRS) sent me the other day. Steve is a physio-therapist and when he noticed I was taking Heal-n-Soothe he thought I should know a little bit more about it. He also said I could post the email on my website if I wanted, so here it is.

Systemic Enzymes

Proteolytic enzymes, also referred to as “proteases,” are enzymes that break down proteins into their smallest elements. If this breakdown of proteins happens in your gut, we call the enzymes “digestive,” because they help us digest our food. Systemic proteolytic enzymes, however, have a completely different purpose, so please don’t confuse the two.

When taken on an empty stomach, proteolytic enzymes will pass through the stomach or intestine lining and enter the circulatory system. This is why they are called “systemic” – once they enter the circulatory system, they circulate throughout the body.

Why are systemic enzymes important?

The most important thing that systemic proteolytic enzymes do is to break down excess fibrin in your circulatory system and in other connective tissue, such as your muscles. These enzymes bring nutrients and oxygen-rich blood that remove the metabolic waste produced by inflammation and excess fibrin.

For example, If you have an injury or are recovering from a painful condition of any kind and your blood flow is restricted, you will have a longer recovery process. In addition, the exchange of nutrients and oxygen in your body will be limited, and there will be not only a longer recovery but an increase in pain and inflammation.

One more important thing to understand: Whenever you’re recovering from a muscle irritation, injury, or surgery, the body uses fibrin to help heal itself. This is normal and healthy. The only problem is that with poor blood flow and a lack of enzyme activity, that fibrin will start to accumulate. If the area in question is slow to heal, an excess of fibrin will appear as clumps of scar tissue in the muscle or at the surgical site. Once this happens, you acute condition becomes chronic.

Now that you know that excess fibrin throughout your circulatory system will severely limit the amount of blood flow to areas that need it the most, you may be wondering how the body tries to compensate for this restriction. The answer is simple: by forcing the heart to work harder and increasing your blood pressure.

How do you know if you have too much fibrin?

As I have noted, the body will do what it needs to do to keep us alive – sometimes at great cost to your overall health. Some possible indicators of excess fibrin in your system include: chronic fatigue, slow healing, inflammation and pain, and elevated blood pressure. There is also a medical test to measure something called “blood monomers.”

The dangers of too much fibrin…

The medical community has long known that excess fibrin presents a cardiac and stroke risk. Finally, they have acknowledged a link between excess fibrin and chronic systemic inflammation, the true root cause of virtually every disease and painful condition know to man.

Which conditions do proteolytic enzymes help and how?

The list below is only a sample of the types of conditions that can be addressed with systemic proteolytic enzymes. If you are still wondering how one little substance can support all of these conditions, remember that they all have one thing in common – excess fibrin, which causes a reduction in blood flow.

  • Arthritis
  • Atherosclerosis
  • Back Pain
  • Chronic Fatigue
  • Chronic Pain
  • Fibrocystic Breast
  • Fibromyalgia
  • High Blood Pressure
  • Herniated Disc
  • Hyper-coagulation
  • Sciatica
  • Spinal Stenosis
  • Strains and Sprains
  • Post-operative Scar Tissue
  • Traumatic Inflammation
  • Uterine Fibroids

Which would you rather take – a pain killer or a healing enzyme?

Truth is, very few pain killers help heal the body, and in most cases the side effects are rather unpleasant. On the other hand, systemic proteolytic enzymes support the body’s ability to heal itself, and they reduce the signs and symptoms of a chronic condition.

Can proteolytic enzymes be used with other pain meds?

I knew you were going to ask. Yes, enzymes can used if you are taking low-dose non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), as long as they are taken 60 minutes apart.

How about clinical research?

Where is the proof? There are untold numbers of clinical studies that have been done on proteolytic enzymes, and we have 76 of the most relevant studies listed on our site. Let’s not forget that these enzymes have been in use in Europe for more than 50 years. And in Japan, some proteolytic enzymes are classified as prescription drugs.

Where do proteolytic enzymes come form?

Some are animal-bases, some are plant-based – such as Bromelain and Papain – and some are fungus-based, such as Serrazimes®.

Which types are best and why?

I recommend plant- and fungus-based enzymes because they tolerate the gastric environment better, so more of the enzymes make their way into the circulatory system.

How long does it take to start to work?

Enzymes go to work immediately. The big difference between enzymes and vitamins is the way they are measured. Enzymes are not measured by weight; they are measured in Units of Fibrolytic Activity, which means how much fibrin they break down in a set amount of time.

The questions you really want answered are: “How long will it take to get pain relief and reduce my inflammation?” and “How fast will my healing happen?” Truth is, there is no simple answer because the healing process and outcome will be different for everyone.

There are a number of factors that bear on how fast the enzymes will work for you, including dosage, quality of sleep, diet, and physical activity. Even the very treatments you are undergoing to try to get better could be holding you back.

Are proteolytic enzymes safe for continued use?

Yes, proteolytic enzymes should be considered safe for continued use. There are three suggested usage protocols: one is a rotation of 12 weeks on and 4 weeks off; two is to take them continuously; and three is to take them on as-needed basis.

Who should not take proteolytic enzymes?

  1. Individuals taking prescription blood thinners (Coumadin, Heparin,
  2. Plavix)
  3. Anyone who will be having surgery in less than two weeks
  4. Individuals with known ulcers of the stomach
  5. Individuals with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease.(GERD)
  6. Pregnant or lactating women
  7. Individuals currently taking antibiotics
  8. Individuals with an allergic reaction to pineapples or papayas

Are there any side effects?

Proteolytic enzymes have an excellent safety record, with no significant side effects reported. With any supplement, however, there is always the risk of developing an allergy to one or more ingredients. If this happens, you should discontinue use.

Choosing to try systemic proteolytic enzymes.

Remember, the enzymes are supporting the healing process, so recovery from any condition is going to take time. You don’t just take the enzymes and expect to get better immediately. By using these enzymes as part of a well-planned recovery process, you’re making a commitment to doing what it takes to make improvements in your life.

Everything I’ve told you so far I learned from people who are far more knowledgeable than I am about the role enzymes play in helping us achieve optimal health.

So, when I say that I had a hand in creating Heal-n-Soothe – albeit a small hand – I nevertheless did my part, which was to find the world’s best enzyme formulators. Once I had done that, I told them to make me the best product in the world – and that’s exactly what they did.

Without question, the Heal-n-Soothe formula has the highest fibrolytic activity of any product in the world per dose. Our formulators blended 11 ingredients that would have a cascading effect, which means that they help support the work of the enzymes and deliver even more beneficial results.

I’m not a big fan of taking a lot of supplements. I drink my multivitamin and pop my enzymes – that’s it. I know that trying to figure out which supplements to take can be overwhelming and that taking supplements can get expensive. Still, I look at supplements as a long-term investment toward achieving optimal health.

So, if working toward optimal health is your goal and you think that your life and your body would benefit form having less fibrin and better blood flow, then you should seriously consider enzymes.

If you do decide to try enzymes, do me one favor: Never – ever – buy an enzyme that lists the dose in milligrams (mg) or has “Proprietary Enzyme Blend” on the label.

Enzymes are not measured in mg and should not be sold in mg. “Proprietary Enzyme Blend” is a shady way of not telling you the consumer how much enzyme is in the product, so don’t support a company that cannot be honest with you. Demand full disclosure on the label.

Pregnancy Back Pain

Pregnancy Back Pain

You’ve probably heard people say they have a “slipped” or “ruptured” disc in the back. Sometimes they complain that their back “went out”. What they’re most likely describing is a herniated disc. This condition is a common source of back and leg pain. At the bottom of this article I explain the best herniated disc treatment, but first I want to do some explaining.

Discs are soft cushions found between the vertebrae that make up the spinal column (your backbone). In the middle of the spinal column is the spinal canal, a hollow space that contains the spinal cord. The nerves that supply the arms, leg, and torso come from the spinal cord. The nerves from the neck supply the arms and hands, and the nerves from the low back supply the butt and legs. The discs between the vertebrae allow the back to move freely and act like shock absorbers.

The disc is made up of two main sections. The outer part (the annulus) is made up of tough cartilage that is comprised of series of rings. The center of the disc is a jelly-like substance called the nucleus pulposus. A disc herniates or ruptures when part of the jelly center pushes through the outer wall of the disc into the spinal canal, and puts pressure on the nerves. A disc bulge is when the jelly substance pushes the outer wall but doesn’t completely go through the wall.

What do you feel?

Low back pain will affect four out of five people during their lifetime. The most common symptom of a herniated disc is “sciatica”. Sciatica is best described as a sharp, often shooting pain that begins in the buttocks and goes down the back of one leg. This is most often caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve that exits the spinal cord. Other symptoms include:

  • Weakness in one leg or both legs
  • Numbness and tingling in one leg (pins & needles)
  • A burning pain centered in the low back
  • Loss of bladder or bowel control (seek medical attention
    immediately)
  • Back pain with gradually increasing leg pain. (If you have
    weakness in both legs. Seek immediate attention.)

How do you know you have a herniated disc?

Your medical history is key to a proper diagnosis. A physical examination can usually determine which nerve roots are affected (and how seriously). A simple x-ray may show evidence of disc or degenerative spine changes. An MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is usually the best option (most expensive) to determine which disc has herniated.

Why do discs herniate?

Discs are primarily composed of water. As we become older (after the age of 30), the water content decreases, so the discs begin to shrink and lose their shape. When the disc becomes smaller the space between the vertebrae decreases and become narrower. Also, as the disc loses water content the disc itself becomes less flexible.

While aging, excess weight, improper lifting and the decrease in water in the discs all contribute to the breaking down of discs, the primary cause of a herniation or bluge is uneven compression and torsion that’s placed on the discs.

This uneven pressure is caused by imbalances in muscles that pull the spine out of its normal position and then your body is forced to function in what I call a physical dysfunction. Every human being develops these dysfunctions over time and eventually they cause enough damage to create pain.

The best herniated disc treatment

When it comes to herniated disc treatment, there are traditional treatments such as ice/heat, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, cortisone injections, anti-inflammatory medications and even surgery. While these may deliver some relief, it will usually be temporary if at all.

But the major problem with these traditional treatments is that they can’t fix or heal a herniated disc as they do not address the actual cause of the problem. For example, even if you were to have a surgery and get some pain relief, the fact is the dysfunctions that caused the disc to herniated in the first place are still there and if not addressed, they will continue to place uneven pressure and strain on the discs and sooner or later you will likely have another problem
with that disc, or others.

Without identifying and addressing the underlying cause of the problem, which is the physical dysfunctions caused by imbalances in muscles, you will likely continue to suffer with this condition and the continuous flare ups for years. Unfortunately, most doctors, chiropractors and physical therapists don’t spend time or focus on identifying the physical dysfunctions that are responsible for the condition so most people end up jumping from one useless traditional treatment to the next and suffer for months or years unnecessarily.

If you have been diagnosed with a herniated disc, or are wondering if your back pain may be caused by a herniated disc, either way you must identify and address the physical dysfunctions that are causing your pain as part of your recovery.
