Neck Pain, Back Pain, and Sciatica Relief Strategies of The Bad Back Guy

This is Why I Am The Bad Back Guy!

NOT because I have a “bad back!”

While I have suffered with a bad back for years, I no longer suffer from the consequences of a bad back.

As many of you know, once you have a bad back, there are certain strategies, bad back strategies, you must apply to your day-to-day life in order to get through the day in one piece.

However, it is possible to reclain your life and live pain free!

Neck pain, back pain, and sciatic nerve pain do not have to be your constant reality…or a life sentence…I am living proof!

After 14 major spine surgeries, surviving advanced and aggressive osteomyelitis, almost 15 years of pain medication addiction (yes, addiction!), everything from T12 to S1 fused, a herniated disc at T7-8, and compressed vertebrae at C5 and C6, I live pain free. If I can live pain free…you can too!

Meaning, I now longer suffer from:

• Neck Pain
• Back Pain
• Sciatica
• And the myriad of other consequences associated with a “bad back”

You can apply the same strategies I have and reclaim your life! No spam, no scam, no B.S. Just common sense bad back strategies combined with a neck pain, back pain, and sciatic nerve pain relief program that works!

Ultimately, it is up to you!

But this is why I do what I do…this letter from “Bill,” and a follow-up, is why I am The Bad Back Guy!

NOTE: Even with Bill’s permission to sue these, I feel funny about using his name on the Internet…so I am using “Bill.” If “Bill” wants to reveal himself in a comment or in some other way, that is entirely OK with me. He is a great guy!

This is just one example of the letters, emails, Skypes, phone calls, and emails I get daily from people all over the world…people reclaiming their lives…as I have:

Hi John-

I was up to 281 and now am 233. I need to get to around 195-200ish. I seem to have a lot of muscle imblances I am working on.

I had back surgery in 1988 for a synovial cyst removal. Hemilaminectomy and made a full recovery after 5 yrs of pain.

Fast forward to 2004 where i was throwing heavy logs and pop. I thought it was lumbar because my back and leg were killing me. 2 MRI’s and many docs later no back injury. However, i continued to get worse and eventually could not work. It had what they call pubalgia. It is where the adductors and rectus abdominis tear off the pubic bone causing massive pain in the pelvis and back. I had surgery in May 09 and it is finally healed, however now i am left with opposite side back pain and burning in both hamstrings throughout the day. I am extremely tight in the legs and psoas muscles which they say put me into an excessive lordosis. I work out hard but it is hard to because I flare up so easily. i go for massages as well. I am loads better than i was but still have pain daily. I must foam roll and stretch daily. I have blown through my life savings pretty much except 50k of my retirement left. I hope i can go back to work again. By looking at me you would never know but the pain has beaten me down.

That is why your story is important to me. (emphasis added)

Cheers!

“Bill”

“Bill” also sent me the following after a recent blog post, a blog post in which I mentioned some of the attacks from people looking for ulterior motives in my message:

John-

Great work. We believe and are not naysayers. I think many people > doubt because they are afraid…same with the fact that some of Dr. Sarnos work has validity. Many can just not grasp they can get better and sometimes it comes out as anger, doubt and jealously.

Keep up the inspirational postings. It means more than you know. (emphasis added…and it is “Bill” who inspires me!)

“Bill”

For the FTC, I have these emails, and others, on file and have “Bill’s” permission to use them!

JOHN-

you can use anything i post

“Bill”

This is why I do what I do! This is why I am The Bad Back Guy!

I said a long time ago, in Bad Back Guy years, not in geological time (a little paleo-humor there!), I would continue to offer assistance and inspiration as long as one person was inspired to reclaim their life…and I meant it!

What has happened is remarkable!

You have inspired me!

On my way to helping others with their neck pain, back pain, and sciatica?

My readers and viewers have helped and inspired me! In fact, you have given me many times more than I have have given you!

You have inspired me!

So, I want to thank all of you for your emails, letters, Skypes, phone calls (yes, phone calls! How cool is that?!), and comments.

Comment more!

Keep your inspiring stories, questions, and comments coming and I will provide as much useful information as I can, information you can apply to your lives, as I have, to reclaim your life, a life free of neck pain, back pain, and sciatic nerve pain (sciatica).

PS, Any advice I offer is anecdotal, I am not a medical practitioner, I am a physical anthropologist! Before beginning any sort of a neck pain, back pain or sciatica relief strategy make sure you are cleared by a medical practitioner, preferably one specializing in orthopedics or neurology. Disclaimers are the essence of CYA, and a necessity, in today’s world…unfortunately!

CANI! Constant and Neverending Improvement!

For a year now, and with real intensity and focus since the end of June 2009, I have been attempting to help others deal with their neck pain, back pain, and sciatica. It has been my sincere desire to help as many people as possible overcome their neck pain, back pain, and sciatica and achieve real and lasting pain relief!

The last year has been as much of an education for me as it has been for those of you willing to read my articles and watch my videos…then applying what I have suggested into action.

I certainly hope I have helped at least a few of you achieve lasting neck, back, and/or sciatic nerve pain relief!

Why?

Well, for many reasons.

Yes, I will admit when I started with all of this I thought it would be a decent way to make a living and help people deal with their neck pain, back pain, and sciatica at the same time.

Now?

I have benefitted in ways I never could have imagined when I started this. Not only have I helped others, verified through countless emails, Skypes, and even a few phone calls…but I have also helped myself. In fact, I have helped myself in ways I simply could not have anticipated a year ago.

Ultimate Bad Back Strategies and The Bad Back Guy were perhaps not the best choices for names but they accurately described my condition and my mindset at the time.

And now, I would probably be better described as The Healthy Back Guy! Certainly, a much more positive description than the
former.

In either case, I have been fortunate to parlay my education as a physical anthropologist and my background as a strength coach and trainer of athletes into something useful. Along the way I have learned more about marketing, and I started my marketing career in 1974, so I am not a novice, and, I have learned a great deal more about computers and the Internet.

So, my education, while far from complete, has allowed me to prosper in ways I could never have imagined while helping others deal with their chronic pain; and, in particular, their neck pain, back pain, and sciatica.

I have also helped myself and relieved my own very acute and chronic neck pain, back pain, and sciatica, as well as several other health issues, while I have been at it.

All of this started with a decision!

I got to a point where the pain of being in pain wasn’t as great as the pain of my life…so I acted.

I have never looked back!

CANI! Is a Tony Robbins concept and it means “constant and neverending improvement!”

CANI!, in one form or another, has been taught by the masters from the beginning of history. In fact, there are examples of a consistent and concerted effort overcoming great odds going back thousands of years!

Why?

Because it works!

Consistently applied, constant and neverending action focused on a predetermined goal has moved mountains, literally. It has led to constant and neverending improvement…CANI!

CANI! can certainly work for you in overcoming your neck pain, back pain, and sciatica.

It simply, or not so simply, takes a decision, an action followed by another action, one built upon the next in a consistent and constant manner until the outcome you
imagined, or couldn’t have imagined as in my case, changes your life once and for all.

There!

Did I say that in enough ways…enough times?

Ultimately? It is up to you!

One more time!

It begins with a desicision, followed by an action, and then repeated constantly and consistently over time. If you apply this concept to your life I can assure you of one thing, your life will be different, it will be better, and it will be amazing!

I guarantee it!

Begin With the Foundation: Stretching, Walking, and Exercising…The Legs are the Foundation!

The legs are quite literally the foundation of any neck pain, back pain, and sciatica relief strategy. I started with stretching and walking, slow and steady but adding a bit more each and every time over a period of days, weeks, and months…now, it is time for more!

This is a remarkable thing, that I am even able to speak to you about a workout I am doing for any part of my body…but especially the legs! A year ago, housebound, depressed, and suffering from chronically acute neck pain, back pain, and sciatica…I was The Bad Back Guy!

As you progress, you must begin with machines rather than squats or lunges. The machines offer more control and a gradual approach is possible. Having suffered with neck pain, back pain, and sciatica for many years, the machines allow me to isolate certain body parts while minimally involving the synergistic and antagonistic muscle groups, this is safer and more effective as I begin.

You may be able to do the same thing, once you get to a certain level with stretching and walking and if, and only if, you feel comfortable in the gym or have someone experienced in neck and back issues to work with you.

I will go into greater depth on this topic but for now, I suggest you visit:

Ultimate Neck Pain, Back Pain, and Sciatica Relief Strategies to review the subject, as well.

Watch the videos and read the articles, get an idea of what is entailed.

We will build from there in the coming days and weeks as we continue to stretch, walk, and exercise for neck pain, back pain, and sciatica relief!

The 30 Day Neck Pain, Back Pain, and Sciatica Challenge Coming to Close? The Beginning of Real and Lasting Pain Relief!

Over the past few months we have discussed the five factors contributing to neck pain, back pain, and sciatica. We have also conducted two 30 Day Neck Pain, Back Pain, and Sciatica Relief Challenges!

We have covered so much, I thought it best to let the video say it all. I hope those of you who have stayed with me throughout the Summer and now into the Fall are seeing what I have often referred to as real and lasting pain relief!

That is my hope for every person out there suffering from the sort of pain I know you must be struggling with!

Now?

Well, now it’s time to act!

If you haven’t put what I have been teaching, and doing, into action yet? Now is the time! If you apply just what I have been proposing from the outset, you will be on your way to neck pain, back pain, and sciatica relief.

The five factors are the hub, they are the linchpin at the center of the enter system…and it is through understanding and dealing effectively with these factors that we find real and lasting neck pain, back pain, and sciatica relief.

The five factors are, once again:

1) Excess weight and/or obesity. This is crucial! Excess weight, whether a few pounds of “baby fat” or a diagnosis of medical obesity, is a crucial factor and the main contributor to neck pain, back pain, and sciatica across all age groups and in both genders.

2) Muscle weakness comes with a sedentary lifestyle and being inactive results in too much weight, the first factor, and muscle imbalances, the third factor. Muscle weakness also exacerbates spinal curvatures and places undue stress and pressure on the connective tissue, the intervertebral discs, and the vertebrae themselves. Muscle weakness is also a crucial factor in overcoming neck pain, back pain, and sciatica.

3) Muscle imbalances are muscle arguments, muscle dialectics! The muscles argue with one another, one overpowering the other and resulting in a stressed musculoskeletal system generally, and a traumatized spine, specifically. By dealing with the first two factors and implementing a quality stratching progam, we are able to deal with our neck, back, and sciatic nerve pain, long term.

4) Diet and nutrition is the fourth of the five and, for many, is the most difficult. Not only does inadequate diet and nutrition contribute directly to your neck pain, back pain, and sciatica…it contributes to your pain level by not allowing the body to replenish and rebuild itself once injured and stressed. Inadequate diet and nutrition is a barrier to real and lasting pain relief.

5) Dehydration or inadequate hydration is not only a sign of the times, it is a major impediment to overcoming neck pain, back pain, and sciatica. Inadequate hydration also leads to age-related degeneration of the IVDS caused by dehydration and aging…it is one component of degenerative disc disease. The lifestyle we live and the beverages we drink only serve to intensify this issue and the dehydration creates even greater levels of neck pain, back pain, and sciatica across the board.

In dealing with the five factors as part of a total program, one that not only focuses on each of the five factors individually but as part of a whole, an entire life system designed for ultimate neck pain, back pain, and sciatica reliefl long term.

Over the next 40 days we will continue to build upon what we have started…and assist you in achieving real and lasting neck pain, back pain, and sciatica relief through stretching, walking, exercise, diet and nutrition, and adequate intake of fluids, the proper kind…in the proper amounts.

It is my hope that just as I have received emails, Skypes, and telephone calls each and every day from around the world from people who are taking control of their lives, that the neck pain, back pain, and sciatica education your have received here will help you too!

The Recumbent Bike is an Awesome Neck Pain, Back Pain, and Sciatica Exercise Tool.

The recumbent bike is a low-impact device almost anyone can use with very little risk of injury or chance of exacerbating a current spine-related condition. Not only is the exercise itself extremely beneficial, it is a year round, all-weather exercise strategy.

When beginning a neck pain, back pain, and/or sciatica relief strategy the recumbent bike offers some real advantages over just about any other form of exercise.

Not only is the recumbent bike simple to operate, it is relatively inexpensive, much cheaper than a year’s membership at the local health club, and a whole lot more convenient. Given today’s easy financing, even the more expensive models are easily within reach for most people, and certainly cheaper than the lost revenue associated with neck pain, back pain, and sciatica.

When considering medical co-pays, lost time at work, diminished standard of living, being in pain day in and day out, the recumbent bike is a great deal!

My purpose is not to sell you a recumbent bike here, my purpose is to make it clear that this is an affordable neck pain, back pain, and sciatica exercise method that is within reach…and it works!

The best part about using a recumbent bike for your neck pain, back pain, and sciatica relief and treatment exercise strategy is that if you find you are having difficulties that day, feel some slight discomfort while exercising, or you’ve just reached your tipping point for that day, you can simply climb off and, if you are home, jump in the shower and go on with the rest of your day, or if you are at the gym, simply jump off, jump in the shower, and go home to begin again the next day.

How great is that?

It’s not like walking or running where you might be several miles from home and have to call someone to come and get you, if you have watched my previous videos and read my previous articles, and have made sure to have an emergency kit with you on your walks or runs…to include a cell phone!

The recumbent bike, whether using one in your home, which is optimal, or at the gym, like I do, makes it possible to say, “That’s it for today!” and not have it be a major hurdle…like if you are 2 miles from home when you find you have had enough!

The recumbent bike is a low-impact neck pain, back pain, and sciatica exercise tool that works, enhancing aerobic fitness, dealing with muscle weakness and imbalances when applied along with other methods we have and will continue to discuss, and allows you to deal with the number one reason most people have and continue to have neck pain, back pain, and sciatica: excess weight and/or obesity.

20-30 minutes on the recumbent bike 3-5 days a week will enhance aeoribic fitness and muscle strength, while at the same time dealing with muscle imbalances, when used in conjunction with the proper stretching routine, and will ensure weight loss. In fact, using a recumbent bike just 30 minutes a day 4 days a week will lead to rapid and permanent weight loss…provided you continue to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, in the future. The increased activity, particularly if you have been sedentary for an extended period of time, will lead to rapid weight loss and the resulting neck pain, back pain, and sciatica relief will be immediately apparent and, quite frankly, a welcomed change!

The recumbent bike is not the be-all-to-end-all but it is the single most important tool I use for overall fitness and for neck pain, back pain, and sciatica relief. Using the recumbent bike allows for a spillover effect into several areas of my life and the overall improvement in quality of life is immediately apparent. Given just one neck pain, back pain, and/or sciatica relief and treatement strategy for exercise? I would pick the recumbent bike…

“Feets down!”

Stephen King is a master storyteller, almost everyone will agree with that…whether a fan of the genre or not. Stephen King has a way of telling several different stories simultaneously, engaging his readers thoroughly, and then finally bringing the various storylines together into a fully involved tale!

The result of Stephen King’s method of storytelling is magical and the formula has made Mr. King a wealthy man and has earn him popularity around the world.

I am a fan of Stephen King’s and have read most of his novels and almost all of his nonfiction works. In fact, some of King’s best writing is nonfiction! King’s book On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft provides a very special look into the mind of this literary genius and how he developed his craft.

I have been thinking about Stephen King’s method for quite some time now, as a matter of fact I have shown some of my notebooks I use during my
walks at night in previous videos and the ideas regarding the author’s method and style are in those notebooks several times…it is that constant and consistent a thought.

You see, Stephen King’s method for telling a story is also a template for success…in life, business, overcoming back pain, losing weight or whatever!

The reason I say that?

Glad you asked!

Stephen King recognizes that to fully engage his audience he has to link them emotionally to his characters and to what happens to them. In other
words, he has to make us care about them…or at the very least be intrigued. He engages his audience, pulls us in, and then begins to tighten the story, and the noose, or hang man’s knot as he might say, and bring the various characters into focus…and into each other’s lives.

The authors of popular fiction tell a story in a certain way, making all of the various characters and story lines come together into a cohesive whole, one that not only makes sense for us but works for the story, as well. Stephen King is a master storyteller because of his ability to bring several threads together and make it all understandable.

Dealing with life and with health issues like neck pain, back pain, and sciatica works much the same way. Unless you deal with all of the threads, all of the factors affecting and aggravating neck pain, back pain, and sciatica, bringing them together into a cohesive treatment strategy, it is impossible to make sense of the components and equally impossible to understand the impact of the parts on the whole and vice versa.

An effective long-term neck pain, back pain, and sciatica relief and treatment strategy must address all of the factors or the overall effect will be next to nothing.

Dealing with weight loss, muscle weakness, muscle imbalance, inadequate diet and nutrition, and dehydration as part of a comprehensive strategy is necessary for real and lasting neck pain, back pain, and sciatica relief.

To spend time attempting to deal with the neck pain, back pain, and/or sciatica without paying attention to all of the threads is futile, the story incomplete, the end result more pain. In order to effectively relieve neck pain, back pain, and sciatica?

Deal with all the threads in the story, the 5 factors leading to neck, back, and sciatic nerve pain:

1) Excess weight and/or obesity.
2) Muscle weakness and a sedentary lifestyle.
3) Muscle imbalance.
4) Inadequate diet and nutrition through proper meal planning and dietary intake.
5) Dehydration by way of adequate fluid consumption (water).

By dealing effectively with all the characters in the story, your life will have a happy ending…at least where neck pain, back pain, and sciatica relief are concerned!
