Intense Pain in Lower Back and Legs–Natural Pain Relief

Cool message I just got from a man who was complaining about intense lower back and leg pain just a few days ago:

“God Bless You Kathryn Merrow. 90% better already. I was in pain for 2 months and you solved it in one night. 2 visits to the ER, sonograms on my legs, and still the “Doctors” couldn’t solve it.
A blanket under one cushion, some flexing and a little massaging was all it took. I’m simply AMAZED. Thank You, Thank You,Thank You. I say 90% because I’m still a little sore but all is well. I can sleep again.  ” – Jimmy

Look at his words. He went to the Emergency Room in desperation. They gave him some serious-sounding potential diagnoses.

The important thing to know is that I didn’t see him in person! But I listened well and he asked one good key question that gave me more insight. I explained what was happening and how to correct it. He listened and followed the suggestions I gave to him. He makes it sound easy and, basically, it was. Just had to understand what was going on to cause his pain and steps to make it better.

He asked me how long it would take until he started to feel better. I told him within several days but it was just a few. 

Because bodies are logical (almost everyone has the same symptoms for similar reasons) they can heal when you just understand what’s happening and what to do to fix it.

I don’t know everything and I’m not a doctor but, as a manual therapist who specializes in pain relief from symptoms based on soft-tissue dysfunctions, I’m a pretty good “assessor.”

And, I’m available for long-distance consultations for a reasonable hourly fee. 

I always want to say, “just easy monthly payments,” but sometimes one consultation is all it takes.

What’s the Most Common Cause of Lower Back Pain?

Do you know the most common cause of pain in your low back?   Pain in your lower back is almost always caused by muscles.

Here’s what muscles do:

Muscles move bones, joints and disks in your spine.  Bones, joints and disks cannot move unless muscles move them.

Muscles are the prime movers of your body!  You can only move because you have muscles.

But sometimes your muscles get out of balance–that means they are too strong on one side of your body and too weak on the other side.

That’s a problem.  It causes back pain as well as head and neck pain.

Well, it’s not their fault.  They wouldn’t be unhappy and complaining if we did everything perfectly in all of our movements.

But we don’t.  🙁   But we can change. 🙂  Here’s how:

We can add movements that balance our muscles better.  We can use ALL of our muscles instead of the same old ones over and over.  That causes low back pain.

But using All of your muscles will Continue reading What’s the Most Common Cause of Lower Back Pain?
