How to Get Rid of Back Pain Forever

Do you have a nagging back pain that will not go away even though you have tried everything short of addiction to painkillers? One of the majors top pro baseball players several

years ago had lower back pain that would not go away. At first he did not think it was serious popping Advil along the way. However, the pain would not subside to the point it was affecting his swing at the plate. He went to the top sports doctors. He saw orthopedic surgeons, chiropractors, and acupuncturists. All to no avail. He had X-rays, CT scans and MRIs. All yielded the same answer: There was nothing structurally wrong with his back. There were no narrowed discs, torn muscles, sprained ligaments, none of the usual back pain injuries that you would associate with a top swinger in the game.

Tough it Out

He thought that he could tough it out while taking painkillers, going to the chiropractor for adjustments, and even got so desperate as to taking steroid injections daily. Nothing helped. The pain got worse so did his ability to swing the bat effectively, two months down the road he had to be put on the disabled list as it looked like his career just might have come to an end.

Dr. Mark Stengler Clinic

He then heard from a friend about the Dr. Mark Stengler Clinic in southern California and decided to give it a shot. When he was examined by Mark he found he had the classic symptoms of a hormonal imbalance, specifically a deficiency in cortisol produced by the adrenal glands.

Cortisol is best known as the hormone your body makes under stress, but also does much more. One of its primary tasks is to regulate inflammation. If you don’t have enough cortisol, inflammation can escalate to cause mind boggling pain.

What is the Cause of Deficiency?

Dr. Stengler has found, through years of study, with today’s stressed out lifestyle the public's adrenal glands must work overtime to produce more hormones. Strong glands produce plenty of cortisol, but when the adrenals become fatigued from too much stress, cortisol production decreases. Year after year of this constant stress can make the adrenal glands weak and not up to par in producing what it should.

Low cortisol levels can cause a deficiency in other hormones produced by the adrenals, like DHEA. It’s instrumental in helping your body heal after injuries that can happen after

swinging the bat that may cause microscopic muscle tears. There is good news though. In the vast numbers of cases studied in research programs by Dr. Stengler, adrenal fatigue is not permanent nor is the back pain it causes. Simply take the proper remedies to strengthen the glands and give them plenty of time to rebuild and rest.

What Happened to the Ball Player?

Dr. Stengler confirmed the diagnosis with tests. Then he prescribed the herbs rhodiola and Siberian ginseng, plus a few glandular extracts. He also prescribed for him low dose of DHEA and minute doses of cortisol to take the strain off his adrenal glands regulating his hormone levels while his adrenals healed. After only a few days he was reporting less pain. After six weeks he was practicing again and three months later he made his comeback hitting a grand slam winning the game five to four!

Conclusion

You do not have to be a famous home run hitter to suffer from adrenal fatigue, however. just remember if your back pain is resistant to the usual treatments, have your cortisol and DHEA levels checked. If standard saliva, blood or urine tests indicate

deficiencies, discuss a treatment plan to fit your diagnosis. Your back provides excellent support for the rest of your body parts. Keeping it in tune will keep you off painkiller addiction possibly saving your life. Follow your doctor’s remedies on adrenal gland problems and you should have no problems with back pain in the future.
