Low back pain is the #1 reason for doctor visits in America. Did you know that according the Journal of the AMA and the Texas Back Institute that most back surgeries are deemed a failure. Not a very high success rate.

The muscles in your hips and thighs are more to blame for your back pain than your back. If the muscles are tight even Chiropractic care will not help as the muscles will just negate their efforts. Your muscles can even cause bulging discs or pinched nerves. If no scan finds anything, chances are, it is your muscles.

Active Isolated Stretching, (AIS), has been the best I have seen at resolving back issues. What is different about AIS? The biggest two differences is you never hold a stretch for longer than 2 seconds and, never, use a stretchy band. Always use an 8′ rope or belt, so you can stretch the muscle properly. The beauty of AIS is you can learn how to this at home, your office, or anywhere you are when the pain occurs.

AIS is a series of upper and lower body stretches that takes the pressure off the back by loosening up the hips, hamstrings, and quadriceps. By following theses stretches you may relieve years of constant pain. You may regain the spacing between your vertebrae and joints, which you have lost over the years from the accumulation of activities in your life. I have seen many people whose discs went back into place just from increasing the spacing of their vertebrae. The muscles contribute to your posture and how healthy your structure will be. Poor posture can affect every system in your body including your joints. You should take your joints through their full range of motion, regardless of your age, just like when you were a child. By going through the full range of motion, your body will inject fluid into the joint and lubricate the joint for smooth movement. This fluid is Synovial Fluid.

While stretching has always been taught as something you do for 2-3 minutes before a workout, we are never instructed to stretch. If we are then we are usually taught the wrong way to stretch, thereby not getting the results so we think it doesn’t work. Stretching can actually hep with numbness, tingling, swelling, and even neuropathies.

The Lymphatic System is the white blood system that runs throughout your body in parallel with your red blood system. The purpose of the Lymphatic system is to remove toxins within your body which could lead to cancers, diseases, and infections later in your life. Having a good lymphatic system will allow your body to heal itself like it is suppose to. This will reduce your need for medications and surgeries.

All of this combined will insure a healthier, happier you. So much of what you pay for in healthcare can be eliminated if only someone would have told you years ago what your body needs to stay healthy.
