Understanding the
body on a deep level is required to cure yourself of any disorder, including
sciatica pain. Your body is built on two core principles of science, the first
being chemical: you are made up of chemical compounds and operated by chemical
interactions. The second is electrical. You are an electrical being. Your brain
is pulsing with electrical signals, and the cells in your heart beat in
synchronization due to an electrical current produced by cells called pacemaker
cells. But there is a third, unscientific part of you, and that is your spirit
- your essence, your soul, if you will.
In your essence
you are pure and perfect. But dealing with the human condition, including the
pain, suffering, and guilt which permeate our lives, the lives of our loved
ones, and the lives of countless people that we hear about can be a burden to
our soul. Our negative emotions can run rampant over our intended happiness,
and situations in our lives can become overwhelmingly difficult to handle. So
difficult, in fact, that we may unintentionally harm ourselves by repressing
socially unacceptable emotions, such as anger, resentment, and guilt, and
turning them into physical pain instead.
The emotional
component of pain is so misunderstood that an entire medical industry, Pain
Management, is having a heyday prescribing drugs, surgery, and physical therapy
simply because of our inability to cope with the stressors of life. The only
way to truly become healthy and pain free is to understand how your emotions,
especially those that you may have repressed, may be contributing to your pain.
The human body
has an amazing ability to heal from injury. Even horrendous injuries can heal
without lingering pain. Our nerves are there as early warning devices to warn
us of possible harm, but they are not meant to keep screaming long after the
danger has past. Consider a sprained ankle. It really hurts, maybe for a few
days, or if the sprain is really bad, a couple weeks. But remember that time
you sprained your ankle years ago... it doesn't still hurt, does it? Or your
skinned knee when you were 5. How about that? Does it still hurt? No, it would
make no sense for it to still hurt. You have healed. Sciatica pain is like
this. There is no reason for your sciatic nerve to keep screaming, "The
sky is falling! The sky is falling!" And it doesn't matter if your doctor
has found a problem with your low back, such as a herniated disc. It would be important
for you to know that a number of research studies of the x-rays of people's
backs have shown that herniated discs are not indicative of pain. They x-rayed
people with and without back pain and found just as many instances of herniated
discs on pain free people as they did those who reported pain.
It is also known
that the discs in our necks and low back start to get compressed early in life
simply due to gravity. Compressed discs are not in themselves causing pain.
They have just become a convenient scapegoat for the pain. Your pain, if it has
become chronic, is more likely caused by repressed emotions of anger or
resentment. Dr. John E. Sarno, a back pain specialist, found that almost 90% of
his patients were able to cure themselves of their chronic back pain, including
sciatica, simply by understanding that their unconscious minds were causing the
pain, not their bodies. In many cases their pain was gone overnight. Dr. Sarno
believes that our unconscious mind, which also operates our bodies on autopilot
(think breathing, blinking, and your heart-rate) takes the emotional pain and
creates a physically painful condition by contracting blood vessels, which
reduces blood flow to the area, which reacts by shouting out a warning of pain.
What this pain is really saying is, "Hey, we need a little more blood flow
down here. We need more oxygen." But all you feel is pain.
We are
complicated creatures, but we make our lives much more difficult by blaming our
pain and suffering on everything beside ourselves. I cured myself of 16 years
of chronic neck pain once I understood the concepts of mindbody healing and
applied them to my own pain. I sometimes have pain in my neck, and when I do, I
check my unconscious. What am I stressed about? What is making me angry? I have
learned to 'let go' and this has done wonders for my pain management. I don't
take pharmaceutical medication for pain, nor do I treat it as if it is a
physical problem by getting massage or sitting in hot tubs. I know that if pain
comes, it is emotional and I deal with it. Try it yourself, and see how it
works for you.
