Back Pain, VasCor Complex & Nutrition
Lift With Your Legs:
The Legacy of Back Pain
by Vic Shayne, PhD
Back pain is right up there with headaches and heart attacks when it comes to the most common types of health complaints. In fact, low back pain is the #2 reason that Americans see their doctor -- second only to colds and flus. (NIH)
The National Institutes of Health states, "Pain felt in your lower back may come from the spine, muscles, nerves, or other structures in that region. It may also radiate from other areas like your mid or upper back, a hernia in the groin, or a problem in the testicles or ovaries. You may feel a variety of symptoms if you've hurt your back. You may have a tingling or burning sensation, a dull aching, or sharp pain. You also may experience weakness in your legs or feet. It won't necessarily be one event that actually causes your pain. You may have been doing many things improperly -- like standing, sitting, or lifting -- for a long time. Then suddenly, one simple movement, like reaching for something in the shower or bending from your waist, leads to the feeling of pain."
The Ohio Stae Medical Center explains: Even with today's technology, the exact cause of low back pain can be found in very few cases. In most cases, back pain may be a symptom of many different causes, including any/several of the following:
What few people know is that by the time most of us are in our 30s the arteries feeding the lower back are already partially blocked. That's right, the same condition that causes heart attacks — clogged arteries — can keep your back from healing. What do you do about it? First, have a professional work on your back, whether it's acupuncture, acupressure, chiropractic or osteopathic care. And keep moving. Recent medical studies show that it's better to keep moving than to lay in bed and moan.
Supplements to feed your back...
Next, feed your back. Use ProMin Complex and FlavoC for musculoskeletal nutrients and bioflavonoids. Use VasCor Complex for your back in the same way as you would use it for the rest of your cardiovascular system — take 4 tablets a day.

- overuse, strenuous activity, or improper use (i.e., repetitive or heavy lifting, exposure to vibration for prolonged periods of time)
- trauma
- injury
- fracture
- degeneration of vertebrae (often caused by stresses on the muscles and ligaments that support the spine, or the effects of aging)
- infection
- abnormal growth (tumor)
- obesity (causes increased weight on the spine and pressure on the discs often causes back pain)
- poor muscle tone in the back
- muscle tension or spasm
- sprain or strain
- ligament or muscle tears
- joint problems
- smoking
- protruding or herniated (slipped) disk
- disease (i.e., osteoarthritis, spondylitis, compression fractures)
