Most people believe that once you have back pain you always have back pain, but I get quite frustrated when people say things like that. I get frustrated when they say that because it's not true, but saying and believing that you cannot heal a herniated disc or a back injury encourages a defeatist attitude and needless suffering for those who fall victim to this discouraging mindset.
While it's true that many people never get relief from their back pain or spinal injury, it is not because it is impossible, but because they haven't taken the time or care to encourage full healing and rehabilitation of the underlying problems that caused the injury in the first place.
Many people do not get lasting relief from bulging or herniated discs for 8 months to a year or longer, and that is when they are doing everything right to encourage proper healing of the injury. The problem is that most people do not know how to properly heal a herniated disc or sciatica. There is much confusion surrounding this subject, but there are many methods or combinations of treatments which have helped thousands of people to recover from their herniated discs.
Some of the true methods of healing herniated discs and getting sciatic relief include qigong (an ancient Chinese healing meditation similar to tai chi), holistic chiropractic care, muscle balance therapy, inversion therapy, trigger point therapy, and systemic enzyme therapy. All of which are relatively unknown by most of the popular medical professionals.
It is often necessary to combine several of these treatments together under the supervision of trained professionals to find the right method for each individual to fully recover from their long lasting back injuries. You should always seek professional advice before starting any sort of home treatment, as many of the methods listed in this article are available in home study or home treatment kits and on the internet.
Dealing with back injuries can be frustrating and it is easy to get into habits that encourage chronic pain if you are not seeking the help of highly skilled and trained professionals. Although it is wise to take matters into your own hands and do your own investigations and truly apply yourself to the healing process, it is difficult to do it all on your own without the help of trained healers.
