Degenerative Disc Disease Pain
Degenerative disc disease pain is a very controversial topic, since
disc degeneration
is a mostly harmless and asymptomatic process. 99% of diagnosed patients will have no pain directly linked to their degenerated discs, yet doctors continue to blame the condition regardless of abundant research which proves DDD to be a normal part of aging.
Degenerative Disc Disease Pain / Structural
Structural
disc pain
is possible, but very rare. Most of these conditions are due to severe
herniated discs
or
ruptured discs
which have somehow actually compressed a neurological structure. Even in the worst of these cases, the pain typically only lasts 2 to 8 weeks on average. Pain due to
degenerative disc disease
alone is almost unheard of, yet is still diagnosed as the PRIMARY reason for many symptomatic
back pain
expressions. It is usually a farce…Degenerative disc disease is a perfect diagnostic
scapegoat,
since it is found almost universally in every adult on this planet. It can look scary on a diagnostic imaging study, which is all the better to frighten patients into lasting and highly profitable
disc disease treatment
programs. Treating a person for normal DDD is like putting a patient into surgery due to gray hair or some wrinkles on their face. Sure, the physical changes exist, but they are purely coincidental to any pain experienced…
Degenerative Disc Disease Pain / Psychosomatic
The majority of all chronic back pain is caused, worsened or perpetuated by
psychosomatic
reasons. This is well known and well documented. However, the medical professions mostly ignore the tangible reality of this fact and continue to treat patients like machines who require repair. The body is far more efficient at healing itself than doctors will ever be. If there is a structural reason for pain, the body addresses it immediately and resolves it in almost every case…Most chronic pain is due to deeply held and sensitive emotional issues which cause conflicts in the subconscious mind. The subconscious does not want the conscious mind to experience the pain, embarrassment and fear of these issues, so it creates pain to occupy the conscious resources. The process used to enact these symptoms is called
ischemia
and is the number one health crisis in existence today. Ironically, psychosomatic pain is not unusual at all. In fact, it is just as universal as the incidence of disc degeneration. Headaches to stomach discomfort, back pain to fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel to knee, hip or shoulder pain, these are all ischemic pain syndromes generally misdiagnosed a stemming from a structural defect… it is a crime of epic proportions!
Degenerative Disc Disease Pain Advice
The best way to overcome degenerative disc disease is to simply learn about it. De-mystify it. Understand it. There is nothing at all to
fear,
except misinformation and mythology. Take an active role in your healthcare and be proactive in your back pain treatment. Do not allow any care practitioner to convince you that your normal spine is deficient in any way…The best method of overcoming the
nocebo
effect of the diagnosis is
knowledge therapy.
There is nothing to lose by trying this option, since it is risk and cost free. Best of all it is extremely effective at resolving pain which has resisted a variety of medical treatments. It is the same approach I used to cure my pain after 18 long years of suffering and the same techniques used by millions all over the world to become pain free…
