Lower back pain is more common than we might thinkseven million Americans suffer from chronic back pain and 80% of Americans will suffer from lower back pain at some point in their lifetime.

The lower back or lumbar region is identified as L1 L5. The mental/emotional causes for lower back pain have been thoroughly documented through the ages, beginning with ancient Chinese medicine. Louise Hay in her book, You Can Heal Your Body, identifies the mental cause and the metaphysical ways to heal the root cause.

Root cause for lower back pain:

L-1: A crying for love and a need to be lonely. Insecurity.

L-2: Stuck in childhood pain. See no way out.

L-3: Sexual abuse. Guilt. Self-hatred.

L-4: Rejection of sexuality. Financial insecurity. Fear of career. Feeling powerless.

L-5: Insecurity. Difficulty in communicating. Anger. Inability to accept pleasure.

Sacrum: Loss of power. Old stubborn anger.

Coccyx: Out of balance with yourself. Holding on. Blame of self. Sitting on old pain.

If you or anyone you know has chronic lower back painhonestly and earnestly look at the mental and emotional causes and look for ways to release and reestablish a new perception. The fastest and most effective way to heal the root cause of physical dis-ease or skeletal pain is engaging in mind, body, spirit healing.

Back Pain Facts?

There are several causes of back pain: mechanical causes, eg lumbar disc disorders; degenerative conditions, eg degenerative disc disease; inflammatory conditions, eg ankylosing spondylitis; infective causes, eg osteomyelitis; neoplastic causes, eg primary benign or malignant tumours; metabolic bone disease, eg osteoporosis; referred pain, eg from duodenal ulcer; psychogenic pain - originating in the mind rather than the body.

Back pain is one of humanity's most frequent complaints and does not usually reflect any underlying disease. However, anyone with back pain that does not improve after a few days should first consult a Physician, as back pain can sometimes indicate significant and serious conditions which might not otherwise be diagnosed. Back pain is very rarely a sign of a serious medical problem. It is however important that the treatable medical causes are identified early on.

Back pain affects 50 to 80 percent of people in the U.S. at some point in their lives. In any given year, 10 percent of adults experience back pain or other symptoms, such as limited mobility or stiffness. Each year, Americans spend an estimated $24 billion on treatments for back pain - not including missed time from work nor the emotional costs of enduring pain and not being able to participate in daily activities. Imagine what it would be like to have problems working, golfing or enjoying playtime with children!

Back pain can be mildly uncomfortable, excruciating or anywhere in between. It can start slowly, sometimes a result of poor posture, or come on suddenly because of injury.

Arthritis is a common form of back pain. The earlier arthritis is diagnosed, the more steps can be taken to reduce disability in the future. Other factors that aggravate back pain include suffering from stress, not getting enough sleep, being overweight, having poor posture or not being physically fit.

Back pain should not be considered a normal part of aging; it is a chronic condition that calls for similar lifestyle changes as diseases like arthritis and diabetes do.
