Back pain sufferers know it well. Back pain is a nagging presence that lingers in the background of every moment. Imagine waking up each morning, not to the light of a new day but to the familiar sting of pain that greets you before your eyes are even fully open. It’s there when you sit, when you stand, when you try to move—relentless and unforgiving.
What if you finally found the solution to end your back pain? Understanding why your back hurts is the first step to finding lasting pain relief. Most traditional treatments fail to address the root cause, and are not a personalized solution for your stiff or aching back. In order to solve your pain, you’ll soon learn that only a personalized plan can get you there.
One of the most common causes of neck pain is repetitive stress of the neck muscles, tendons, and ligaments within these structures. Individuals who spend most of their day sitting at work, or doing sedentary activities, have a high-risk factor for developing this condition. The risk for developing neck pain is highest for those who sit in poor posture, with the head in a flexed forward position.
Several other causes of neck pain are also posture related, such as herniated discs, whiplash injuries, and Osteoarthritis (developing from the wear and tear of cartilage and bones). Poor posture puts your cervical spine, disks, and muscles in the neck at risk of injury and damage.
Remedies for low back pain are often limited and provide only short-term relief. Fortunately, there is another proven method that focuses on the root cause of pain, resulting in lasting relief for both acute and chronic back pain.
Ice, heat, and pain relief creams are topical remedies that might feel good when applied but usually wear off in a very short amount of time.
Steroid shots and surgeries are isolated to the location of the pain are unsuccessful when the root cause is elsewhere in the body.
General stretching and massage only provide short-term relief since their focus is on the site of the pain and not the root cause.
Over-the-counter and prescription meds only mask the pain temporarily, which often results in symptoms getting worse over time.

Ice, heat, stretching and massage on your back is often temporary because the root cause of the pain is usually an imbalance, muscle weakness, or crookedness of the joints in more places than just your back. Back and spine conditions can be caused by imbalances in the feet and knees, or a twist or elevation of the shoulders or hips. When you have back pain of any kind, it’s important to pinpoint the exact imbalances that are fueling the pain. Only then can the muscle weakness or tightness pulling your spine into a compromised position be corrected.
If the natural sitting or standing alignment of the head, shoulders, hips, knees and feet are not balanced and level, then the upper and lower back will have to strain to keep you upright. Upper cross syndrome and hunched shoulders are an imbalance of the flexors and extensors of the torso. Rotation or elevation in the shoulders or hips will cause one side of your back to tense up and bear more load than the other. Herniated discs, Osteoarthritis (developing from the wear and tear of cartilage and bones), and stenosis are all spinal problems resulting from poor posture. When the natural position of the feet, hips, or shoulders becomes tilted, twisted, or tipped out of good posture, the muscles hurt, nerves get pinched, and disks are at risk for herniation or calcification. Quite simply, poor posture anywhere in your body puts your spine, discs, and back muscles at risk of ongoing injury and damage.
For treatment of low back pain to be truly effective, it must focus on correcting your posture and straightening the joints from head to toe. The therapy program needs to be personalized to your specific posture imbalances. Posture Therapy is the only method that provides a personalized whole-body posture correction and pain relief program.
