Ischemic Sciatica
What is Ischemic Sciatica?Ischemia is the root cause of most chronic back pain syndromes, despite the common diagnoses of structural reasons for the pain. Ischemia is a virtually invisible process which leaves little evidence of its sinister presence, except trace elements in the nuclei of affected cells. However, this process is instrumental in creating pain all over the physical body, either due to an anatomical, or more likely, psychosomatic source.Ischemia is defined as simple oxygen deprivation. All cells need oxygen to survive and when they are deprived of this necessity, they display the symptoms we find in the majority of back pain syndromes. Ischemic Sciatica SymptomsAt low levels of oxygen deprivation, the first tissues to be affected are the nerve cells. Neurological symptoms such as radiating pain and tingling will be the first indications of the start of the ischemia process. Continued ischemia will enact numbness and/or more severe pain and eventually weakness in affected areas. Higher levels of ischemia will involve the muscular tissues, as well as the ligaments and tendons. These tissues are hardier than the nerve cells and are better equipped to fight off this purposeful oxygen starvation. However, once affected, muscle pain and stiffness will begin and might be severe. If the condition continues, there is a good chance that muscular spasms will occur and we all know how torturous these can be…Ischemic Sciatica CausesIschemia can be the result of a physical injury or disease process. There are certainly many anatomical reasons why blood is not allowed to circulate to certain areas of the body. However, these are usually easily discovered and successfully treated by doctors. The continued ischemia syndromes which cause sciatica and most chronic bodily pains are not the result of some injury or degeneration, but instead are caused by the subconscious mind. This is a process of distraction, which is created as a defense mechanism by the internal emotional self. The reasons why patients suffer these pains vary from individual to individual, but are most commonly linked to repressed emotions, thoughts, feelings and unresolved issues. Ischemia is also the culprit behind a wide range of psychosomatic conditions which have also typically displayed a treatment resistant nature including:
* Headaches The list goes on and on… For more information about the psycho-emotional reasons behind most ischemic pain syndromes, please read my psychosomatic sciatica section. Ischemic Sciatica AdviceThe chances of being diagnosed with ischemia related sciatica are practically zero, but the percentage of you actually suffering from the condition is very high. Medical science is simply not enlightened when it comes to the interactions of the mind and body in the back pain arena. Sure, doctors acknowledge this exact causation in some anatomical conditions, but deny it in others. It simply makes no sense. Ironically, many of the symptomatic sciatica treatments, such as heat or exercise are designed specifically to bring more blood, and therefore oxygen, to the painful region…You really can’t blame doctors… They are simply a product of their educational background and medical schools just do not focus enough effort on the psychosomatic process. Remember, ischemia is an easy to cure syndrome and can be completely resolved by the patient with no medical attention. All it takes to end it is exposure to some effective sources of
knowledge therapy.
Remember too, that the back pain industry is a multi-billion dollar medical sector and one of the most profitable specialties in healthcare. Do you think the effects of recognizing ischemia as the primary source of pain in most patients would affect this business? Especially since the cure is free for every patient to find on their own… Gee, that is an easy one to answer. I think you can see why medical science is not likely to accept ischemia as the actual causation of most
back and leg pains,
due to the economic ramifications that would cause… Remember lastly, that I speak from a world of experience. I brought up this diagnosis to many doctors who brushed it off, despite accepting that my symptoms matched the condition perfectly. Instead of accepting ischemia as the logical diagnosis, they chose to stick with the structural explanation which DID NOT even correspond top the symptoms I was having… FOR 18 YEARS!!! The scope of this article is truly mind over body. However, if you listen to the advice of many of my doctors, you will learn a completely different philosophy… MONEY over MIND. 7/9/08 Revised 12/12/09
