There is a natural cure for back pain.

What a subject for a first post but I had to get this down before too much time passed.

We “natural cures” fans are thrilled to find cures for diseases from cancers of all kinds to diabetes, heart disease and even AIDS.  We are thrilled because we can have some say in how the illness will be dealt with.  We call the shots so to speak.  And doing it for ourselves is less expensive, too.

Expense always was a factor in the beginning.  I believe chiropractic and osteopathy are very useful and viable alternatives to back surgery and other intrusive intervention.  But with a large family on a small budget, even when we had insurance, we just couldn’t pay for the deductibles. 

So, what is a budget conscious natural cures fan to do?  You can’t just be your own chiropractor. 

Well, the answer to the question came when I asked my osteopath basically the same question.  I told him straight up that we just could not keep coming to him all the time and did he know if there were some things folks could do to help maintain the adjustments and perhaps eliminate visits.

Imagine my doctor’s reply.  He said that he was aware of a book that told how to do your own back care through simple body positions and gentle exercises.  He was rather hesitant about bringing it up though, as he admitted that it would eliminate the need to visit him.  But this man was more humanitarian that profiteer.

The name of the book: The Egoscue Method of Health Through Motion: Revolutionary Program That Lets You Rediscover the Body’s Power to Rejuvenate It by Pete Egoscue.  I am here to tell you it has kept me from needing to see him anymore!!  This stuff works and when I get numb in my hand due to over staying at the computer, I do a few simple moves and it goes away.  Bad headaches?  9 out of 10 are due to tension and strain in the back and neck. 

There are simple positioning exercises that “naturally” get rid of the pain.  Sometimes it took 20 to 45 minutes for just one or two days sometimes longer, but I ask you:  We all can afford time for the things that are important to us.  Hey, it takes up to an hour to visit the doctor if you include the trip, the wait, and the actual adjustment time.

Borrow or buy this book.  You will not be sorry and think of the dollars and trips to the DC or Osteopath!
