READ ABOUT THE MAIN CAUSE OF CHRONIC BACK PAIN
THE VICIOUS CYCLE OF BACK PAIN
THE PROBLEM
WHY DOES YOUR BACK CONTINUE TO HURT?
The vicious cycle of back pain begins with the performance of our daily tasks with poor posture and improper body mechanics. This leads to overuse and fatigue of our core muscles.
As inflammation and back pain ensue, the brain inhibits the core muscles from properly functioning, in an effort to prevent them from further damage.
The end result is a dysfunctional motor planning of the core muscles, in other words, the brain loses the ability to properly control the core muscles.
The core muscles tend to fire at the wrong time. They generate less force than usual and also reach their peak earlier than they would if the person was pain-free.
CHRONIC BACK PAIN = BRAIN DAMAGE
When a chronic back pain sufferer is pain-free, the mere thought of anticipating back pain will cause the core muscles to misfire.
The ability to sense position of the spine (propioception) is affected in back patients. It can be off by as much as 6 degrees when attempting to reposition oneself from a slouched position. This is a considerable amount of error for the lumbar spine.
Patients with chronic back pain show significant brain changes when compared to control groups, displaying atrophy of cortical grey matter of 5 to 11 percent, the equivalent of 10 to 20 years of brain aging in a normal person.
Shrinkage of these brain regions explains the psychological, cognitive and sensory abnormalities that occur with chronic back pain. This is how the vicious cycle of back pain is perpetuated.
In a healthy brain, all the regions of the brain exist in a state of equilibrium. When one region is active, others will quiet down. However, in back pain sufferers, the affected brain areas fail to deactivate when they should. As a result, neurons (brain cells) wear out and connections between them are altered, possibly leading to permanent damage.
These images (left) show a comparison between the brain of a chronic pain patient and a healthy subject. We can see with colors how much activation (red-yellow) or deactivation (dark-light blue) was found at each location.
And now for the good news:
The motor cortex and spinal cord possess the remarkable ability to alter structure and function in response to differential motor training which induces a reorganization of neural circuitry in the brain.
After effective treatment of chronic low back pain, patients’ functional and structural brain abnormalities were reversed.
There is no doubt nowadays that treating chronic back pain can restore normal brain function and anatomy in humans, and The Posture Saver is the right tool for that.
