The medical studies are alarming: during their lives, most people are affected by lower back pain. This medical condition is responsible for more incapacity and sick leave than any other is. Check out the fact: nn• Eight out of ten have suffered or will suffer from this debilitating alimentnn• Half of all people who experience lower back pain will have repeat attack within twelve months.nnnLower back pain – Acute or Chronic?nn Acute lower back pain occurs suddenly. Very often, you will know exactly what causes it: an accident that jars your back, for instance, such as fall from a chair or a ladder. Or, you may simply stumble and pitch backwards to the ground.nnWhatever the cause, you will probably strain and tear the ligaments, tendons and muscles in your lower back. All of these tissues are essential to your well-being, and any trauma affecting them produces severe pain.nnA particularly severe accident will cause even more serious damage. This could be a fracture in the lumbar spine, or a break in the coccyx at the base of the spinal column. The pain from such injuries can be excruciating, as some of you may already know. nnThe cause of chronic pain, pain that continues for a long time or constantly recurs, can be more difficult to assess. It may cause by deterioration of the discs between the spine’s vertebrae. In other words, the discs may dry out, thereby allowing pressure to be placed on the nerves that run through the spine. The result is severe lower back pain, usually known as osteoarthritis. nnOthers suffer when the joints of the lower back become inflamed as rheumatoid arthritis enters their body. This condition is not only chronic, it steadily progresses through the system. nnAnother common cause of chronic lower back pain is osteoporosis, in which the bones of the spine become brittle and fragile because of hormonal changes or vitamin deficiencies. nnnOther causes of lower back painnn• Spondylosis – this occurs when the disc between the vertebrae of the spine distintegrate, allowing the vertebrae to rub against each other.nn• Sciatica – degeneration of the spinal discs can also cause compression of the nerve roots in the lower back, resulting in intense pain. nn• Lumber spinal stenosis – pressure on the spinal cord, a consequence of damage to the fiber that houses the cord, can lead to lumbar spinal stenosis. The most noticeable physical sign of this condition is the way that suffers must stand or sit with a hunched posture to ease the appealing pain. nn• Depression – for 80% of those who have lower back pain, doctors cannot determine the cause. This adds to the depression that suffers often feel because they have no understanding or control of their disorder.nnnThe CHI institute as recognized the desperate need for a consistent form of relief for lower back pain. Institute researchers studied the available remedies and learned from the practices of many different cultures and people, including the renowned qigong healers of Beijing, China. From these experiences, the institute began developing positive therapeutic solution to the problems of Lower Back Pain in both its forms, acute and chronic. nnThe first of these solutions, an infrasound massage device, was a tremendous success. But the CHI institute didn’t stop there. Since pain therapy is a constantly developing field, the institute decided it was vital to continue the product evolution to find maximum pain relief.nnAs result of this continuing research, Sound Vitality, a division of the CHI institute, introduced the Infratonic 4.3 in 1997. This device was based on digital Chaos Therapy and proved to be a great help for anyone afflicted with the torture of lower back pain. nnnIs your life ruined by chronic or acute lower back pain?
