Back Pain Chaos and Lies

In the year 2011 as I write this article I would like to think that the Medical system would understand how to care about helping people first. When I read an article from WebMd that clearly skews the information away from the scientific literature I have to question their agenda.

Back pain help is an article on WebMD which shows a perfect example of the major problems our Medical system creates because our reactive sickness care model that the Uinted States currently uses. 80% of Americans will experience back pain, mid back pain, neck pain, lower back pain with sciatica and much of it will become chronic pain. People seek out many treatment options while nerve and muscular problems, degenerative disc disease and arthritis, are said to often be the cause. Treatment with common drugs for back pain simply mask the underlying issues while allowing the decay and degeneration to continue. Treatment such as surgery for back pain is becoming increasingly common with very few patients having successful outcomes and many having complications and chronic pain regardless.  Of course on the WebMD site it is difficult to find Chiropractic and back pain together. Since scientific literature shows that Chiropractic is far superior to all other methods it seems questionable that WebMD would leave this out. Chiropractors have been successful for millions of patients with acute as well as chronic back and neck pain issues.

The worst part about WebMDs ignorance is that Chiropractors do not treat back pain, neck pain, muscular pain, sciatica, arthritis, etc. To a Chiropractor this is simply a body signal. The real underlying issue is often known as a Subluxation. While these other more dangerous treatment options do not remove the underlying cause the patient usually ends up in a Chiropractors office years later. Chiropractors continue having excellent success because removing interference in the spine and letting the body's own healing mechanisms is always benefical to the person. This is not a treatment or modality, it is a unique way of assisting the wisdom of the human body to express itself and function the way it is intended to. Regardless of other options you may learn about, the best one would include a visit to a Chiropractor to get checked. Make sure you read my upcoming article on how to pick the right Chiropractor. http://healingpotential.com/blog/b_6178_5_steps_to_picking_a_chiropractor.html
