Home Treatment Ends Decade Of Back Pain After Injections & Surgeries Fail

Online, July 1, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Chronic low back pain cured with "simple home self-treatment" after hundreds of treatments, spinal steroid injections, and two back operations failed.

After ten years of constant struggling with chronic low back and leg pain, Josh Tilleson was at the end of his rope. "I had tried every kind of therapy you can think of," said Josh, "I was so desperate... so tired of the pain." When spinal steroid injections, two back surgeries, and a decade of treatments failed to give him relief, he decided to take a new approach. "Previously, I had always been looking for someone else to just fix me. But after years of failing with that approach, I decided to take it upon myself to study and learn everything I could about back pain, what causes it, and what research has proven can help it."

The first thing that jumped out at him during the research is how widely known it is within the medical community that the traditional forms of treating back pain are not working well. According to a 2009 article in the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine titled Over treating Chronic Back Pain: Time to Back Off?, over the course of a decade Medicare has seen their back pain related expenditures skyrocket.

=> 629% increase for epidural steroid injections
=> 423% increase for back pain opioids
=> 307% increase in lumbar MRIs
=> 220% increase in spinal fusion surgery rates

The alarming fact is that NONE of these dramatic increases in back pain treatments were accompanied by population-level improvements in patient outcomes or disability rates. "And that article is not a misleading outlier or an exception," Josh claims "it's the rule. What's more, even when things go well and an ideal candidate benefits from a successful fusion surgery, the average improvement in function that we are talking about is a mere 10 to 20%, and a large proportion of those still require ongoing pain medication." Hindsight being 20/20, Josh wishes he knew all this before he invested years and tens of thousands of dollars on treatments that are known to have such questionable results.

On the positive side of things, as Josh poured over hundreds of articles and clinical studies, posture and muscular balance were the few constants that kept showing up in the successful treatment of back pain. He circled back and looked for self-treatment therapies that aligned with these principles. By experimenting on himself with just one therapy at a time, he was able to zero in on the properties that were specifically beneficial to treating back pain and eliminate everything that wasn't. Josh notes, "For example, yoga and Pilates are both known to help back pain, but they also have some techniques that either offer no back benefits or can even aggravate a back injury and increase pain. By focusing on only those techniques that are beneficial in eliminating back pain, you can narrow both practices down to a few fundamentals that can be applied in minutes, not hours." Josh continued experimenting like this, with a variety of self-treatments, until he had a concentrated routine that had completely eliminated his back pain. It was then he realized that if this super-therapy could relieve back pain as severe as his, it could also help others who were needlessly suffering.

A year later, The Defeating Back Pain System book and video series was born. "It is so rewarding to help others experience the same health and freedom from back pain that I now enjoy." says Josh. "I'll never get tired of hearing how people are using the system to recapture parts of their lives that they thought were lost forever."
