Back Pain Relief - A New Approach Makes Perfect Sense
WHY YOU STILL HAVE BACK PAIN, DESPITE TREATMENT, AND HOW TO GET THE RESULT YOU WANT
The Facts
The overwhelming share of chronic pain is suffered by people with back pain, and yet treatment typically fails to eliminate or even reduce the level of suffering.
In Australia the treatment cost per annum of chronic, unrelieved physical pain is over $12 billion. In the USA it is more than double that. Lost productivity and other costs skyrocket these figures into the hundreds of billions. Not only is this a huge burden on the economy and the health system, but it represents an enormity of human suffering that is both appalling and terrifying.
The experience of pain is common to almost everyone, but the thought of living in agony from day to day isn’t something most of us ever have to face. For those with back pain, or neck pain, every movement, sometimes even breathing, can bring that agony.
Current methods have failed to help back pain patients in the majority of cases and I hope that the methods described here will replace those ineffective methods. Australian research demonstrates that it’s now possible to bring immediate relief to the majority of people with back pain or neck main, with most of those achieving total elimination, regardless of how long they’ve suffered.
In the Australian research with long-term chronic pain patients with a history of at least 2 failed pain treatments, half the participants achieved a 100 per cent elimination of pain on the first treatment. Of the remainder, a majority enjoyed over 50 per cent reduction of their pain levels, and the results were permanent with one exception, a patient who, curiously, continued her high-velocity cervical spine manipulations even though her pain increased dramatically with each visit to her chiropractor.

This report should be useful in helping you to:
** Really understand why your back pain treatments have been so disappointing, and how the myths of chronic pain have led to so many incorrect treatments even by the medical profession.
** Finally discover a treatment method for back pain that is based on sound evidence, and which has a high probability of helping you.
The techniques outlined in this report do not in any way replace the need for thorough investigation and treatment of your back pain, or indeed any chronic pain. Rather, they are presented as a crucial part of your pain treatment, and also as a stepped alternative to more invasive treatment measures such as surgery, where such surgery is of significant risk.
On no account should you self-diagnose any condition, and all unexplained pain should be investigated. If you choose to do the chronic pain program, whether solely through the application of what you learn in this report, or through the on-line program on www.realhelpforchronicpain.com, you should do so only under the supervision of your qualified medical specialist.
HOW WE GOT IT SO WRONG WHEN IT CAME TO CHRONIC PAIN
Scientists and medical professionals used to have some pretty strange ideas about pain, ideas that are embarrassing when we look at them in the light of up-to-date scientific knowledge! But even though we’ve made excellent advanced in the treatment of acute pain, in contrast the treatment of chronic pain is still in the dark ages in most cases, and it’s not surprising that most back pain patients are suffering far longer than necessary, if at all!
It is now clear that acute pain and chronic pain are very different in nature, and in fact these 2 pain types even utilise different nerve paths, as you will soon see.
It’s really only the last 10-12 years that this vast difference between chronic and acute pain has begun to be understood, and of course it takes time for better treatment methods to filter through. A detailed discussion of current treatments and their reasons for failure is available as a free download from the web site.
The reason why chronic pain treatments have been so worthless is that they failed to take into account that the patient’s nervous system is sub-consciously affected by non-physical issues in their environment, issues that the patient often had no control over.
Read on to see how chronic pain is produced by these non-physical factors, and what you can do about it even though willpower has nothing to do with it!
Through not understanding these factors, treatment was directed at the patient’s physical activity only, and the patient was (and often still is) told to “push through the pain” to complete excruciating exercise regimes, often causing the patient enormous physical and emotional distress.
Another areas where therapists have been incorrect is in the blaming of the patient for “bringing on the pain”, supposedly because the patient wasn’t “disciplined” enough in their thinking. Several current approaches still try to get the patient to change their internal voice using nothing but willpower!
Yes, thoughts and attitudes (and beliefs) do help create pain. However thoughts, attitudes and beliefs are not under the patient’s control, and any therapist who tries to force the patient to change these using sheer willpower or self discipline is inflicting an ignorant and cruel treatment.
There is a far more intelligent, humane, and effective approach, and that is to address the emotional factors which underly the thoughts, attitudes and beliefs that are linked to pain production, and to eliminate those using modern de-conditioning techniques. Only King Canute would be silly enough to try to do that by willpower!
The third area where we didn’t so much “get it wrong” as much as just didn’t know, because the scientific tools to demonstrate this weren’t yet developed, was how the brain actually processes chronic pain. Brain imaging techniques have clearly demonstrated that the brain activity that typifies chronic pain signalling is almost identical to that created by emotional pain such as fear, anger or other emotional distress.
Does it seem incredible to you that other researchers haven’t seen or understood what this means in terms of what we already know about learning theory and memory? If only they would realise that chronic pain is created by the same brain processes that create conditioned responses, or store and retrieve a memory.
Sadly, the outcome of our past and current misunderstanding of the nature of chronic pain has lead to a proliferation of programs which have the intention of “helping the patient to live with his pain”, rather than the reduction or even elimination of that pain altogether.
And now it should be clear to you why analgesics, surgery, CBT, acupuncture, osteopathy, hypnotherapy, and chiropractic have all failed to deliver relief that is of any permanence or significant to people with unrelenting back pain.
A SENSIBLE, PROVEN APPROACH TO BACK PAIN
Now that we understand the true nature of chronic back pain, we can stop blaming the patient for his thinking, we can stop treating the patient as if he were merely a body part, and we can address the real “culprit” behind unrelenting back pain. This is the conditioned behaviour of your central nervous system.
In complete contrast to every other program, this chronic pain program has as its aim the complete elimination of your back pain. And it does that by working with the mechanisms which produce your pain signals, switching them off permanently so that they never recur.
The method of treatment is BMSA, or Brief, Multi-Sensory Activation and most people can learn to self-treat very quickly and easily, gaining immediate results even when they’ve tried many other pain programs and failed.
Australian clinical research over the past 6 years shows that we can expect around 95% of true chronic back pain patients to achieve either total elimination of their back pain, or dramatically reduce their back pain.
More information on this approach to treating chronic back pain is available from the web site, including some interesting case studies.
