Day 4 of the 30 Day Walk Away from Neck Pain, Back Pain, and Sciatica
The Bad Back Guy, Rest, and Strategies for Beginning an Exercise Program
The Huffington Post ran an article today entitled Overtreated: Pain in the back widely overtreated. I think there is an echo in here because I have been saying that for over a year here and elsewhere online…as has almost every expert I can think of from the federal government to the Mayo Clinic.
So, what is going on? If everyone is aware of this, why are so many people getting too much pain medication, undergoing too many expensive procedures, including surgeries, and so few people being more aggressive about spreading the word?
Because back pain is a multi-billion dollar a year industry!
Here are some questions for you:
What would happen if everyone found out that herniated discs usually resolve themselves, at least as far as the pain goes, in a year or so?
What would happen if people found out the failure rate for certain types of back surgeries is 85-90%?
What would happen if people knew up front how seriously addictive certain pain medications are?
I could go on but the answer should, by now, be clear…it’s about the bucks!
Imagine if people were told to take a walk for 20 minutes every night for 90 days? Heck, for 30 days?
No boat payment for the surgeon this month!
Am I being facetious? Perhaps. But just a bit!
The fact is, most neck pain, back pain, and sciatica resolves itself in a matter of days or weeks.
If you want to recover sooner, get active!
So, start walking with us today! It is Day 4 of the 30 day Walk Away from Neck Pain, Back Pain, and Sciatica…but for you it can be the first day of the rest of your life. It can be a pain free life if you simply get active and follow a few simple strategies.
Imagine reclaiming your life and living neck, back, and sciatic nerve pain free!
It is not only possible, it is probable! But it takes a decision and a first step!
If you live in Northern Ohio and would like me to work with you personally? Or if you live some distance away and would like to consult with me, once you have been cleared my your medical practitioner?

Join in the 2010 Second Annual Walk Away from Neck, Back, and Sciatic Nerve Pain
Chronic back pain at any location, from neck pain to sciatica, can and often does adversely affect the quality of life. Unfortunately, many people, including an incredible number of many medical practitioners, will prescribe bed rest and inactivity as a treatment strategy for acute and chronic spine-related pain. In almost every instance, inactivity is the wrong strategy and will ultimately exacerbate back pain.
Study after study has demonstrated that activity, to include stretching, walking, bike riding, and other medically approved and supervised exercise programs, will lead to pain relief faster, more effectively, and more completely than bed rest and inactivity.
But you need to be precise! You need a plan and you must stick to it…one step at a time!
With that in mind, I challenge you to join me for 30 days. The 30 Day Walk Away from Neck Pain, Back Pain, and Sciatica was a huge success last year and I am willing to bet it will be again! People from all over the world emailed me, Skyped me, even telephoned me at home to let me know they were walking and that for the first time in years they were pain free…reclaiming their lives. Pain free lives!
Talk about exciting!
So, join me! Watch the video and devise your own program. If you are having trouble?; Contact me and I will help you and I will be your accountability partner for the next 30 days.
Make sure you get cleared medically, get a comfortable pair of walking shoes (e.g., New Balance, Asics, or Skechers), buy padded socks that will cushion your feet and absorb sweat, and make sure you have a water bottle, a cell phone, and a notepad or hand help recorder. I will cover why you need these things in depth in the next post but for now know that they are necessary and will pay dividends.
Additionally, if you have the right shoes, socks, shorts, sweats, and supplies you are more likely to stay with it…you will have n more skin in the game!
Again, watch the video and contact me anytime!
Take care, best wishes and get walking!
