gives you strength.\u00a0 It honors you.\u00a0 Your spine contains your central system and your central blood supply.\u00a0 You register every experience, feeling, impression, and thought in your spine.<\/p>\n<p>Your lower back holds financial support and your core beliefs.<\/p>\n<p>Your middle back supports your move forward in life as you release the past.\u00a0 Your middle back holds love.<\/p>\n<p>Your upper back deals with your emotional support of others and self.\u00a0 It deals with guilt, shame, fear, anger, resentment.<\/p>\n<p>Back aches are spiritual events.\u00a0 What may offer relief for one person may not work for another.\u00a0 In spite of all the modern, 21st century techniques, cures, and therapies available for back injuries and health injuries, you may respond positively to reflexology, Reiki therapy, and Chakra healing.<\/p>\n<p>Lifestyle changes will help if you discover physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual causes of your discomfort.\u00a0 When that happens, you can make adjustments to get rid of the pain.\u00a0 Then, you can figure out what you need to do to keep the pain and discomfort from returning.<\/p>\n<p>These changes may include things like developing a posture encouraging spinal alignment.\u00a0 You may learn specific exercises offering you relief.<\/p>\n<p>Several times throughout your day, talk to your back.\u00a0 Is it in pain?\u00a0 Does stretching help?\u00a0 Are your shoulders scrunched up against your neck?<\/p>\n<p>As time passes, you&#8217;ll find you are learning the language of your spine.\u00a0 Once you learn this, you can listen to what your spine says to you and follow its instructions.<\/p>\n<p>To avoid back pain, respect your spine and don&#8217;t overwork it.\u00a0 The three basic rules of respect include proper lifting techniques, exercises to build strong back muscles, and proper fitting low heeled shoes.\u00a0 Following these three guidelines, you&#8217;ll prevent accidents and reduce spinal alignment stress.<\/p>\n<p>When you consult with a physician about your back pain, select a person who gives you confidence.\u00a0 If you seek a massage therapist, acupuncturist, physical therapist, schedule your appointments so they&#8217;re 24 to 48 hours of one another to take advantage of synchronicity.<\/p>\n<p>Yoga helps.\u00a0 I&#8217;m fortunate that there are many yoga teachers in my area.\u00a0 Through the years, I&#8217;ve found two teachers who know about spinal health and focus their classes on this specialty.\u00a0 Carolyn Abedor teaches Iyengar Yoga when she focuses on therapeutic spine health.\u00a0 Kathy Karey teaches yoga and focuses on repairing injured spines.<\/p>\n<p>Massage and physical therapy are beneficial for chronic pain.\u00a0 Chiropractors work to improve your condition without adding more strain to the spine.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t know a yoga teacher, massage therapist, chiropractor or physical therapist, this is a good time to look for one.<\/p>\n<p>CHAKRAS:<\/p>\n<p>Lower back pain focuses on the first chakra.\u00a0 Middle back issues focus on second and third chakras.\u00a0 Your upper back deals with fourth and fifth chakras.<\/p>\n<p>REFLEXOLOGY SYSTEMS TO WORK:<\/p>\n<p>nervous system, muscular system, urinary system, skeletal system, sciatic nerve, liver and solar plexus<\/p>\n<p>ESSENTIAL OILS:<\/p>\n<p>basil, clove, cypress,\u00a0 eucalyptus, fennel, ginger, lavender, marjoram, nutmeg, peppermint, ravinsara, Roman chamomile, rosemary, spearmint, thyme, vetiver<\/p>\n<p>OTHER THINGS YOU MAY TRY:<\/p>\n<p>Throughout your day, check your posture, your seating positions, and the height and angle of your work surfaces.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for reading this blog post.<\/p>\n<p><a
