The Cause behind BACK PAIN

Back pain occurs when spinal joints and muscles are over working due to improper vertebral biomechanics. If one vertebra is slightly twisted, bent or restricted in some way, then some tissues at this spinal segments will underwork and others will overwork. Where there is back pain, there is disrupted biomechnics, that is inevitable. But why is this mechanical disturbance created in the first place?

Nerves from all over the body pour their neural load through the spine and into the spinal cord in order to relay information to the brain. Consequently, any issues anywhere in the body will be communicated via its nerves and into the spine, causing disrupted mechanics to the bones, joints, discs and muscles.

Once the back’s mechanics is disrupted it just takes one wrong move - picking up something awkwardly, sleeping on a different mattress or a bit of gardening - to irritate spinal tissues and for symptoms to begin.

This presentation will focus on the different tissues in the spine (discs, joints, muscles, bone, nerves), the process of how these tissues may generate pain and how to resolve it.
