Lower Back Pain and the Views of Doctor Sarno

Over the years many researches have been conducted on lower back pain and among these researches there are interesting views about this topic which was provided by Dr. John E. Sarno. He is a physician from the New York Institute of Rehabilitation. 

Dr. Sarno claims that more than 90% of patients that complain of back pains are having it because of tension. It has been revealed that a majority of the X-rays carried out on those individuals do not reveal any structural abnormality in the backbones that would have triggered the persistent pains.

In his conclusion, it is revealed that when the muscles of the back become tensed, there is likely to be a reduction in the amount of blood that flows in these muscles. This can also apply to the shoulders, neck, buttocks and other parts of the body.

If you are aware of the cause of leg muscle fatigue you will know what I mean (it has been confirmed that lactic acid are built in the leg muscles as waste chemicals). 

Dr. John E. Sarno in his view also identified what affects most people as “tension myositis syndrome”. Thus, to cure back pains in these individuals, there is need to provide treatments that would make their muscles to relax.
