If youāre currently suffering from back pain, itās likely that youāve convinced yourself that the discomfort will disappear on its own, or alternately, that rest will heal the issue over time. Itās also possible that you believe itās just an age-related pain, thus havenāt taken steps to fix the problem.
ONE THING IS CERTAIN, THOUGH
If this is something youāre going through, rest assured that you arenāt alone. Countless patients visit us weekly due to the very same pain and frustrations youāre going through right now. Lower back pain and sciatica are actually some of the most common issues our patients face, and for these reasons treating back related problems is very close to our hearts.
Over the years weāve understood that, when it comes to back pain, patients generally want to know why itās happening and why it hasnāt gone away ā even after months of rest and/or waiting.
Weāve also seen how, in the search to find answers, many people visit doctors and start taking dangerous, expensive, and unhelpful pain medication. Painkillers not only damage your health further, but actually mask the pain, thereby exacerbating the issue and, as a consequence, the discomfort.
With more pain comes more medication: a vicious cycle begins, and the patient is often prescribed stronger, more harmful drugs as time goes by. Sadly, the result remains the same and the pain is still there.
THE TRUTH IS
IF YOUāRE FINDING SOME KERNEL OF TRUTH HERE, KEEP READING.
Maybe youāve been told that itās just an āageā thing; everyone gets back pain at some point in her/his middle age. But, that just isnāt true. Itās also likely that youāve been told a lot of conflicting information.
In a world where YouTube is our stay-at-home GP, and people have become so trusting of the Internet, itās difficult to find the right information for your problem. And worse still, a lot of the information out there is actually harmful!
Additionally, youāve probably tried resting your back for a prolonged period of time in the hope that things might get better. Yet, they havenāt. In fact, theyāve only gotten worse. And not only that, but your recovery time has increased, too!
Lastly, you probably believe your pain was caused by doing something like sleeping awkwardly, for example, or moving in an unexpected, sudden way. Yes, this seems like a fairly good guess, but in reality your back pain is the result of years and years of poor posture, the end-result of which has caused the muscles in your back and core to weaken.
We here at Active Health+ understand how you may have gotten to where you are today, but we also know there is a way to get rid of your pain
5 MORE REASONS WHY YOUR BACK PAIN IS LASTING LONGER THAN IT SHOULD:
2. You tried doing generic exercises off of YouTube or Google, yet the movements aggravated your pain and you gave up hoping that things might get better.
3. A visit to the doctor produced a prescription for painkillers ā soon after taking them, however, the pain returned, you started feeling depressed, and your health began to suffer.
4. Youāve begun to believe ā and to accept ā that your pain is age related.
5. Youāve tried massages, but nothing seemed to help.
