Back problems and chronic back pain is one of most common problems in America today. It is second most common medical complaint. Over 60% of all Americans have experienced back pain. The toll is immense.Yet few sufferers or their doctors look for deeper cause of back problems. Most are simply treating symptoms without ever investigating emotional causes of back problems and pain.
It is becoming a more accepted way of thought that many physical problems with body human have a root connection to emotions. Thought and belief can affect you in a physical way! Dr. Andrew Weil of University Of Arizona is becoming famous with his approach to treating whole being instead of just body, or just symptomatically trying to eliminate diseasements.
From an emotional standpoint, main issue that affects our backs in an adverse way is feeling that one has no support in life. Feeling as if you have no one supporting you emotionally is leading emotional tie to a back problem. This feeling may be left over from childhood and have no basis in reality as an adult, but seeds of this have been sown and need to be dealt with.
Looking deep within, and then dragging this feeling to surface is best approach. Is it left from your childhood or adolescence? Is it true of your life today?
If this emotion is left from your childhood and has nothing to do with your current relationships, then it is time to release this and let it go. You can write down how you feel about ways in which you were treated, and then burn them to release them. You can seek some therapy, or try coaching for help. You might even need to actually confront people that left you feeling as if you never were supported as a child.
If it is true of your current relationships, then it may be time to take honest stock of them and make some changes. It may be that low self-esteem has caused you to seek out and establish relationships with "takers" who never seem to give back. Again, you might need some therapy or coaching to get past this problem. Perhaps just seeing it for what it really is will give you strength to change your relationships.
