Inflammation is the leading cause of back pain

Added 27.07.2011

You have pain and stiffness in your back that gets worse after doing strenuous activity or lifting heavy objects. Or perhaps your pain gets worse after sitting or standing for prolonged periods of time. Fear kicks in and you think you have damaged your back somehow; or worse still, you think you may have ruptured a disc.

Stop right there!

More than 90% of back pain cases are in fact a result of inflammation of the muscles, ligaments and connective tissue - what is also called myofascial pain. Specifically, it is inflammation of myofascial trigger points - sensitive points in the muscles that are activated by chronic inflammation and cause pain.

Unfortunately, this cause is often overlooked by many doctors and according to several studies this is why traditional treatments only have a success rate of about 50%.

Why do we develop chronic inflammation?

There are many reasons why we develop chronic inflammation in our muscles and connective tissue, but consider these important ones:

• Prolonged stress.
• Lack of exercise or excessive exercise.
• Smoking.
• A lack of natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant nutrients in the body (probably the most important factor).

What they have in common is that they promote so-called free radicals, which if cannot be neutralised, ultimately lead to chronic inflammation. The last point is extremely interesting because often inflammation of the muscles and connective tissue becomes chronic when our body cannot heal itself due to insufficient amounts of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant nutrients.

The difference between acute and chronic inflammation

It is important to understand that ACUTE (short-term) INFLAMMATION is a good thing. Inflammation is our body's way of helping tissues regenerate and this is a vital process of healing. Having an adequate supply of natural anti-inflammatory nutrients in the body helps this process subside when it is supposed to so that it does not lead to chronic inflammation. It is CHRONIC INFLAMMATION that is damaging - the type that doesn't subside on its own - and this is what we are referring to in this article.

Are you among the 20% of us that suffer from a long-term pain condition?

If you suffer from chronic pain - pain lasting more than three months - you share this unfortunate fate with approximately 20% of European adults.

The most common culprits of chronic pain are inflammatory conditions such as low back pain, sciatica, neck pain, myofascial pain, osteoarthritis, frozen shoulder, migraine and many more. If you have an overuse sports injury like tennis elbow, you may also be afflicted with chronic pain.

Luckily for you, there is one solution to all these problems!
