WE’VE ALL HEARD SOMEBODY SAY “I’VE GOT A BAD BACK”. 

OR MAYBE WE SAY IT ABOUT OURSELVES. 

IN ADDITION, COMMONLY, IN HEALTH CARE, THERE’S A LOT OF CHIT CHAT ABOUT BACKS,  WHAT CAUSES BACK PAIN, OR BACK PAIN THAT CAUSES YOUR PINCHED SCIATICA NERVES. 

YET, WHAT I WANT TO DESCRIBE TO YOU, IS A CONDITION OF A BAD BACK THAT TENDS TO PLAGUE PEOPLE IN A PROFOUND WAY. 

IT CAUSES BIG PROBLEMS IN THE FUNCTION OF THE LOWER BACK. IT’S THE TYPE OF ISSUE THAT IF YOU’RE IN THE GOLDEN YEARS… IT CAN SOMETIMES BRING YOU TO TEARS… 

OR AT MINIMUM MAKE YOUR BACK AND LEGS FEEL LIKE THEY ARE IN LOW GEAR. 

IT’S THE TYPE OF CONDITION THAT IN CERTAIN CASES YOU MAY HAVE AN X-RAY AND AN MRI OF THE LOWER SPINE AND TRIED INJECTIONS, BUT YOU’RE STILL NOT FINE.  

SO YOU’RE LEFT WITH A FEELING OF UNCERTAINTY. LIKE, HOW DOES JUST A LITTLE OR A LOT OF ARTHRITIS CAUSE THIS MUCH PAIN, NUMBNESS AND TINGLING IN MY BACK, BUTTOCKS AND LEGS? AND IS IT ALL JUST BECAUSE OF ARTHRITIS? 

OR COULD IT BE SOMETHING ELSE…
