Sciatica ConditioningSciatica conditioning is a major component of psychosomatic sciatica syndromes and structurally induced pain conditions alike. Conditioning, also called programming, is directly responsible for the vast majority of symptomatic circumstances reported by patients with a wide range of back and leg pain syndromes.
Condition refers to a physical or psychological response which is generated from a particular set of circumstances. For
sciatica patients,
conditioning is used to describe how and when the pain comes on. For example, a patient who experiences pain coincidentally when seated might feel that
sitting
is directly responsible for their symptoms. This can be applied to any activity, position or circumstance. Some of the most common programmed behaviors include pain upon standing too long, sitting,
driving
or exercising. However, programming can create a variety of less explainable and sometimes downright illogical patterns as well, such as pain at a particular time of day, pain when dressed in a certain color and pain from eating some foods.
Conditioning occurs every moment of every day in our lives. Programming is part of how we learn, but sometimes we take the process too much to heart and relate all our feelings (and symptoms) to circumstantial occurrence. Remember that psychosomatic sciatica is the most prevalent type of
radiculopathy
and conditioning plays a huge role in the development, progression and eventual resolution of symptoms. However, psychological factors also contribute to the symptomatic expression of even the most structurally induced pain syndromes, potentially escalating or alleviating symptoms based on purely psychosomatic conditioned responses. There is no way to separate the mind from the body and the influence of one will always hold sway over the other. Pain is a very emotional process and one which is sure to invoke psychological conditioned responses from even the most “physically focused” patient.
Sciatica Conditioning AdviceIt is important to realize that conditioning is partially or totally responsible for your pain, regardless of where the symptoms exist or how severe they are. Just by understanding the idea behind programmed responses, you can deny much of their power over you and limit how much havoc they can produce. Patients who are not in touch with how conditioning works are ravaged at will be these sinister psycho-emotional imperatives and rarely find lasting relief from their pain. This is why it is so crucial to learn about knowledge therapy and how this alternative approach to sciatica treatment will clue you in to the complete picture of your pain… mind and body. There are no risks and you will certainly benefit from the lessons across the entire diversity of your life experience. Best of all, there is a good chance that you will be able to apply the techniques to cure your pain forever…Sciatica Conditioning to Sciatica 9/9/09 Revised 7/30/11 |
