Hi!
I have had neck and back pain for over 35 yrs. - and have tried NUMEROUS items from the Lose the Back Pain website and have felt relief from every one of them... but not total correction of the basic problems... So if you need pain relief try these:
1. Heal N Soothe - capsules - they really do help relieve inflamation...
2. Rub on Relief - totally works on sore muscles!! - a cream
3. the Inversion Table gives immediate relief within 2 - 5 min. again which is temporary... it works like traction. You hang by your ankles... and you can use it several times a day... I don't know for sure that it could eventually correct a subluxation in the vertebrae...- and you'd have to check to see if you could use it because of your fusions....
3. the Lose the Back Pain System - I think - is one the all time best things to use... which helps you find some of your most basic causes of your back pain... and then teaches you exactly which exercises to do to correct the muscle imbalances you have. I am just now beginning to do the exercises and seeing great results...
4. the Back Joy -- I use all the time when seated at the computer or desk --- and esp. at all day seminars. It totally helps relieve stress and pain from sitting so much...
5 My favorite right now is the Trigger Point Therapy board.... ANY time I have tight, painful spots anywhere along the spine , in the neck or sciatica -- I just lay down on the floor and lay on top of the pegs in this board for 2 mins at a time where ever it's tight and painful, then stretch for 60 seconds.... and I've got RELIEF!! for then... Use as often as needed.
After all of the above -- I found from a chiropractor's x-rays - that my neck actually has a REVERSE curve to it (being at a -12 degrees - when it should be at a 42 degree curve - in the opposite direction!! ) I'm believeing now that his adjustments and therapy is a must in order to get the true basic cause of my problems corrected.. Everything else IS giving me relief from pain so I can enjoy life more NOW as I progress thru the improvement stages.. If you'd like to consider one or two of the Lose the Back Pain therapies - please use my affiliate website... https://gethealthy.infusionsoft.com/go/All-Products/KathyH
and feel free to ask me questions ....I think you'd find easy, quick relief with the Trigger Point therapy board. Watch the videos..
These two guys that run this website KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND ARE EXTREMELY SELECTIVE AS TO WHAT THEY ALLOW AS THERAPIES ON THEIR WEBSITE.
Good luck,
Kathy

Hi Fordboy75. I really empathize with you. I'd also had long-term back problems since my first child in '76, then a car accident in '97. I went through the same thing for two years with surgeries, PT, and pain meds, which only masked the problems instead of treating the underlying problems.
I now have a back pain blog and write, research and provide helpful information and tips for other back pain sufferers. I started this blog to help myself and others learn how to identify the root causes of their back pain, not just their symptoms, and find natural remedies and alternative treatments besides the standard pain meds and back pain products. There are several products that may help including the Lose the Back Pain System. However, you really need to be careful and research products based on your individual situation. I'd be happy to help you find the right back pain treatment for your situation if you'd give me the details of everything you've gone through and tried. I know it's a pain (literally), but we need to make sure we know all of the issues and determine what treatments didn't work to ensure we find something different that does work for you, and long-term.
In the meantime, you may find some of the info on my back pain blog helpful. It covers a wide range of issues, natural remedies you can do yourself, and a variety of therapies, treatments and product reviews. You're welcome to read the info on there and ask any questions you like.
I'll wait to hear from you, and we'll see what we can do to get you on the right path to recovery and being pain-free. Thanks.
Julie
