Where Does Lower Back Pain Actually Come From?

Sometimes the area that is hurting is not actually the area that the pain originates from. This is true with lower back pain. If a misalignment of the upper neck vertebrae, the cervical spine, is detected, it often has an impact on the entire spine and, in particular, the lower back. 

A misalignment of the atlas or axis bone, the top two bones of the vertebrae, causes bones, muscles, and tissue to shift. Even a misalignment of the only ¼ of a millimeter can cause the head to become unevenly balance on the body. The body then goes through what is called righting reflex. This keeps the eyes evenly aligned with the horizon line. If the body has to compensate for this process, it can wreak havoc on the function of the ears, the balance of the body, and a number of other problems leading to low back pain. What happens in the body when the spine is out of alignment? Consider the following:

 • The top bones of the neck are the center of control for the body to communicate with the brain via the brainstem and spinal cord. 

 • Pressure sensors located in the upper neck are hindered from allowing messages to and from the brain and body.

 • Balance is affected because the brainstem is not able to send messages to the ears through the cranial nerves.

 • Blood flow and cerebral spinal fluid flow are slowed down due to the pressure being exerted on the brainstem.

Once the misalignment of the upper neck is detected, we can begin to correct the problem using the latest advances in technology and scientific measures. Our patients who come to us with back pain, often report a decrease in symptoms and feeling happier and healthier after receiving our care. Upper Cervical Care is a successful natural option for back pain sufferers. Conventional Health Care generally prescribes painkilling drugs and anti-inflammatory medication to decrease the symptoms.  

But at what cost? The goal of Upper Cervical Blair Care is to allow the body to heal itself by removing interference to normal function. If muscles in the low back are chronically tight and painful we should be asking the question, why? In many cases, chronically tight muscles in the low back are in response to nerve irritation at the level of the upper neck. Upper Cervical doctors are specially trained to locate and correct this problem. Don't relegate yourself to a life of pain and pill-popping.  

There are many things you can do to help yourself heal naturally from lower back pain. Drugs can have harmful side effects, they can toxify the body and should only be used as an acute pain reliever. If you are suffering from lower back pain and want to recover give Upper Cervical Care a try. You might just find that it's the best-kept secret in health care! We hope that this blog has reached someone in need and will lead them to heal.
