Lower Back Pain Doesn’t Have to Mean Surgery


Lower Back Pain Doesn’t Have to Mean Surgery: "Lower back pain is a nuisance that can be avoided without living the horror stories you’ve probably already heard about back surgery. Good news -- there are some very common, avoidable causes of low back pain -- and common mistakes people don’t even realize they make, that can actually hinder the healing process.

That’s right -- you can find low back pain relief … naturally.

Doctors report that 50 percent of people having episodes of low back pain can find relief within two weeks, and 90 percent of lower back pain can heal within three months – with proper self-healing mechanisms in place. But that won’t happen without a true understanding of lower back pain, how to avoid it and how to allow your body’s natural healing systems to do their job.

That’s not to say that major injury with extensive damage won’t require a doctor’s hand in repair, but even in those situations your body still has to heal itself.

Charles Gaudet, a lifelong athlete and chronic back pain sufferer, has inspired thousands of people with his story of recovery from debilitating back problems in his book "Powerful Strategies for Back and Neck Pain Relief." He has spent much of his adult life researching and identifying ways for lower back pain sufferers to heal themselves, take their lives back and live healthy, active and happy. And there are ways to do it effectively, even avoiding the complications, pain and extended recovery associated with surgery.

One of my most powerful realizations for myself, and perhaps my greatest gift to myself was realizing that I don’t have to live my life in pain,” Gaudet says.

There are some common mistakes that people make that actually inhibit their healing. Understanding your body’s amazing healing powers and supporting the healing process can yield life-changing benefits even beyond the joys of pain relief.”"
