Back Pain
It’s a common misconception to dismiss back pain, assuming it will naturally fade away. Some attribute it to sleeping awkwardly or dismiss it as a mere spasm that everyone experiences at some point.
There’s often no clear reason why it occurred, but it’s not showing signs of improvement!
If you’re experiencing this, rest assured, you’re not alone, and we hear this type of thing all the time. In fact, lower back pain and sciatica are THE most common problems that we see in our clinic!
And when it comes to living with back pain, everybody we see wants to know…
Why Am I Still Suffering With Back Pain After Putting Up With It For 3-6 Months? (Sometimes More!)
The reality is that when we get back pain, the majority of us think it’ll just go away on its own.
We believe there’s this magical moment where you wake up one morning, and your problem seems to have disappeared. But six months later, you find yourself living with even worse chronic back problems – often much greater than what you started with.
Does That Sound Like You?
One of the most frustrating things we see in our clinic is when people come to us with chronic lower back pain and tell us their previous doctor told them to “rest” and take painkillers. The problem? It doesn’t work! Had they not decided to visit our clinic, they would have ended up returning to their doctor, frustrated and still in pain.
Has This Type Of Thing Happened To You?
Understanding what’s best for your back pain can be challenging, given the various conflicting pieces of advice from different sources, most of which may not be helpful.
It’s not just about what you do when it hurts, but also how often. The more often an area becomes weaker or injury becomes worse due to poor movement and posture, the harder it will be to work that part of your body. You’ll begin seeing chronic pain if we don’t take steps towards restoring balance through strengthening exercises designed specifically for those areas.
Back pain is often a confusing issue that people just accept as “the way things are.” But why else does backache last so much longer than it should? It can be hard to know what you’re doing because there have been so many different instructions given by various sources, with little credibility behind them all together!
Do You Feel That Way Too?
If You're Currently Living With Back Pain, Here's 7 More Reasons Why It Could Be Lasting Longer Than It Should:
It didn’t go away on its own, but you thought it would
The doctors told you to rest and take painkillers, but they did nothing for your back – as soon as the pills wore off chronic ache returned
Everyone gets back pain as they age, so you just accepted it for what it is
You tried other healthcare professionals, or a physical therapist in the past but nothing they said or did seemed to help
You tried to do YouTube exercises but they either didn’t work or made your back pain ten times worse
Your back pain was so bad that you thought resting would be the answer, but all it did for your condition is make things worse
