Ways to Handle a Herniated Disk (Part 1).

Now I don't have discomfort crises (knock on wood), my leg is not so numb any longer and I permit myself to lift heavy objects when necessary. I don't indicate I am completely recovered, however for the time being, I am satisfied that my neurologist does not push me to undergo a surgical treatment anymore, and I can stroll and work out discomfort totally free.

Here are my simple steps for much better back health:

1. Handling unfavorable feelings and past traumas 

what do emotions pertain to my back? According to many studies - a lot! There are scientific studies that show the relationship between youth injuries and unsuccessful spine surgeries. I keep in mind reading one study in which clients were divided in 3 groups - 1. individuals with pleased childhood; 2. individuals with some sort of childhood injuries; 3. people with significant distressing experiences in their early ages. 

These 3 groups of clients all suffered from herniated disks and they we all set up for spine surgery (the slipped disks are gotten rid of and replaced with synthetic ones in order to support the vertebrae). After the operations, the clients were observed and were put to tests in certain time intervals. 

Only a little portion (I believe it was less that 2 %) of group 1 experienced a relapse in the illness. The clients from group 2 had higher percentage of people with 2nd slipped disk. And a huge portion (I believe the number was higher than 80 %) of the ones from group 3 did not recover from the surgery and quickly after it they had actually another herniated disk in another section of the spine. This research study alone says sufficient about to what extent our emotions impact the body. 

Louise Hay says that our backbone is our support - literally and figuratively speaking. If we feel unsupported, non-nurtured (particularly in early years), out of control, hyper-stressed, our spinal column develops conditions corresponding to our emotion. The very first thing we need to address is the emotional, psychological or even physical injuries and stress. The alternatives here many. 

Just find the one that really speaks with you. You can evaluate your youth, discover the circumstances and/or people that triggered you pain or any other sort of unfavorable emotional charge. Release these feelings with EFT. Or start consisting of peaceful practices in your day-to-day life, such as meditation or prana (breathing yoga).

2. Hydration 

at very first glance, water consumption has no direct relation to the backbone disks. This is not true - they have a lot to do with that tissue. If we take a look at the material of our disks, we will certainly see that they look like a jelly element. And a huge part of that jelly is water. If our bodies are dehydrated frequently, the disks lose their flexibility and their ability to cushion the vertebrae. It is like your automobile lacks its suspension fluids. 

For me, it is still not very easy to discover how to consume adequate water. It seems like discovering how to stroll once more. It is absolutely possible. I started enhancing my hydration bit by bit. Just one glass of water at a time. If you begin (from tomorrow or from Monday) drinking 2 more liters of water, the possibilities are that you are going to spend the entire day in the loo.:D My suggestion is to begin slowly and to make use of the purest water you can afford - filtered, spring, low mineralized, reverse osmosis, and even distilled (for a short amount of time).

3. Nutrition 

in order to bring back the disk we also are going to require to consist of different elements in our diet. You can find these elements in sea food and animal cartilages and by absorbing them we make sure the structure obstructs for the linking tissue for our joints and spine. Vitamins from B group are really useful for people with herniated disks and all kinds of problems with the peripheral worried system.

In the next part I will certainly describe different workouts for the back that are valuable for our backbone health.
