Thoracic PARQ

Many people suffer with back troubles, but I still feel people’s pain experiences can be almost as unique as DNA! There are so many varying injuries which can happen to a spine (as well as the supporting muscle group) and, with 33 vertebrae holding different sections of the human trunk together, and how each individual has treated theirs during their lifetime, it’s no wonder there are so many variables of pain.

My injury was a twisting motion in the thoracic area of the spine, through sheer G-force. A simple counter-spin with too much traction somehow managed to ‘squeeze out’ 2 nebulas and burst their annulus fibrotic walls at the left posteriolateral part of each disc. i.e. rear left back part of the discs, the gel squished out against the spinal cord. 

Apparently it is quite a 'challenge' to do this to the most stable part of the spine as it is strongest due to the rib cage. Only 1/1000 have managed to 'slip' a disc in this section of the spine, and I had to beat the odds further by doing 2!  I've since spent all of my time searching for an answer to resolve the constant chronic pain I suffer every day. 

Whichever section you have hurt your back, pain is something we all want to get rid of and so my journey will show you things I have tried and tested so that you can read my reviews without necessarily wasting your money or time by purchasing them yourself.

If you're like me, your lifestyle has been compromised and I'm sure you just want to enjoy your time on this planet, rather than compromising what seems like every day of your life.
