Psychosomatic Sciatica
* Sciatica Nocebo What is Psychosomatic Sciatica?The vast majority of patients believe psychosomatic describes pain which is NOT REAL. They understand the very words to describe pain which is “ALL IN YOUR HEAD”. These myths have been created and propagated by medical doctors to create a shroud of doubt and shame over what is actually a universal and normal expression of internal emotional repression.Psychosomatic actually means completely REAL and PHYSICAL bodily symptoms which are not caused by a structural injury or disease process, but instead are the direct result of mind/body interactions. Typically, the cause is a defense mechanism enacted by the subconscious mind to protect the consciousness from discovering highly sensitive and troublesome emotional thoughts, feelings and issues which have been repressed,suppressed or internalized. The physical pain is created as a very effective distraction or smokescreen to occupy the consciousness, thereby permanently concealing these repressed and unresolved psycho-emotional issues. We all know that there is nothing as efficient as physical agony to really get our attention and this is precisely why the subconscious mind chooses pain, enacted by simple regional ischemia, to create its disguise… The more sensitive and severe the emotional issues, the worse the pain will typically be. Psychosomatic Sciatica FactsThere is nothing mysterious or new age about mind/body medicine. It is obvious that the mind interacts with the body constantly and creates anatomical reactions based on emotional conditions. Fear will dilate the pupils, increase cardio-vascular response and redirect blood to the major muscle groups to support the fight or flight response. Nervousness will increase perspiration and often create havoc with the digestive tract (nervous stomach). Sexual thoughts will cause obvious bodily changes throughout the anatomy. The list of mind/body reactions goes on and on…Psychosomatic conditions are clinically identical to structural conditions. That is, there is no way to distinguish them through symptomology alone. The only difference is in the causation of the symptoms. This is particularly troubling, since the medical community is not trained to deal with mind/body concerns and typically misdiagnoses psychosomatic pain as coming from an anatomical cause… a sciatica scapegoat if you will… Psychosomatic pain is the main reason why most
sciatica treatments
fail. Medical therapies will not work to resolve a psychologically induced pain syndrome. They will only temporarily relieve the symptoms. This is why so many patients remain in treatment for years and never find lasting
relief for sciatica.
Psychosomatic Sciatica AdviceMost patients have trouble even considering that their pain might be the result of a psychogenic condition. Most will feel insulted by the idea and think that the diagnosis somehow makes their pain less real. These are all factors which help perpetuate the ongoing failings of the medical back pain industry, as it tries to suppress the vast research supporting psychosomatic pain as the main reason behind the epidemic of back pain which has taken over our healthcare system.Of course, back pain is not alone when it comes to psychosomatic causation. A tremendous amount of physical conditions share the exact same psychological source, ischemic enactment and autonomic regulation as psychosomatic sciatica. From headaches to stomach ulcers, fibromyalgia to TMJ/TMD, carpal tunnel syndrome to plantar fasciitis, the list grows by the day. There is not one person on this planet who has never experienced psychosomatic pain. Psycho-emotional pain syndromes are universal in humans, with the only differences being in location, severity and duration of the symptoms experienced. To cure this type of pain once and for all, there is only one option… Knowledge therapy. Sciatica Forum The Sciatica Pain Newsletter.
