A Message From Garrett C. Stroup, DPT, AIB-VRC, Owner and Founder of OrMobility Physical Therapy & Performance
Back pain is frequently disregarded as something that will resolve on its own. Often, it is attributed to “awkward sleeping,” a “spasm,” or a common ailment that everyone experiences at some point. Despite there being no apparent cause, the pain persists without improvement.
If you have experienced this, you are not alone; we frequently encounter similar accounts. The most prevalent issue we encounter in our Mobile Physical Therapy is lower back pain and sciatica.
When addressing back pain, everyone we encounter is curious…
“Why Is This Happening to Me?” or “Why Do I Still Experience Pain Despite Enduring It for 3-6 Months (Or Even Longer)?”
Many individuals hold the belief that their back pain will resolve on its own, that one day they will wake up and it will be as if the pain never existed. However, six months down the line, the pain persists, often worsening from its initial onset.
Do any of these sound familiar to you?
Another common scenario we encounter in our Mobile Physical Therapy is when patients visit a doctor who advises them to take painkillers, relax, and “wait and see.”
Nonetheless, this is not always the best advice, and often after four weeks, patients return to the doctor because their condition has not improved. To make matters worse, they are often prescribed stronger medications and advised to rest more. This nonsensical approach is a major reason why a large number of Americans continue to suffer from chronic lower back pain.
Have you experienced something similar?
What are the other factors that contribute to prolonging back pain? With so many people providing different advice, it can be easy to become overwhelmed and confused. Although many individuals may offer guidance, it is often unreliable.
You might think your back pain resulted from lifting or sleeping in an uncomfortable position, but in reality, it may have been caused by years of poor posture and activities that weakened your lower back muscles. Lifting or sleeping awkwardly was merely a symptom of the underlying issue.
Back pain can be confusing, and without proper knowledge, many individuals simply accept it as a natural part of life. However, several factors can prolong back pain. With numerous people offering different opinions and advice, it can be challenging to distinguish between reliable and unreliable information.
Is that how you feel, too?
If You Are Currently Suffering From Back Pain, Here Are Seven Other Reasons Why It May Be Persisting Longer Than It Should:
- You believed that your back pain would resolve on its own, but it persisted.
- You visited a doctor who prescribed painkillers and advised rest, but the medication provided little relief and the pain returned when it wore off.
- A family member or friend convinced you that back pain is a natural part of aging, so you accepted it.
- You sought help from various healthcare professionals or physical therapists, but their treatments did not provide any significant improvement.
- You tried following workout videos on YouTube, but they either had no effect or worsened your back pain.
- You decided to rest and take it easy, but it only made your back feel stiffer and tighter.
- You received massages hoping for relief, but they only provided temporary relief and did not solve the underlying problem.
