If you’ve got lower back pain, stiffness, or an ache – it’s very tempting to think that it’s nothing, that it will go away on it’s own. Or, you pass it off as having just “slept awkwardly”, or that it’s just a “spasm” or a bit of stiffness that “everyone” your age suffers from…
There’s no obvious reason why it happened, but it doesn’t seem to be going away!
If that’s happening to you, you’re not alone. We hear this type of thing all the time! In fact, lower back pain and sciatica is the most common problem that we see at our Massage Therapy clinic in Cartersville, Georgia. And when it comes to living with back pain, everyone we see wants to know:
Most people think that when they get Back Pain, it’s just going to go away on it’s own.
That they’ll wake up one morning and like “magic”, it’ll be as if back pain never happened…But then 6 months later you’re still living with back pain…often even worse than it was when it came on.
Another scenario we see all the time in our sports therapy clinic is when people go to the doctors, and the doctor tells them to rest and “try these painkillers” and “get an MRI”.
But this is rarely ever the best advice and often 6 weeks later, they end up going back to the doctor again because it hasn’t gotten any better. Worse, they’re often given yet another prescription of even stronger pills, and advised MORE rest. This is madness and explains why so many people are suffering from chronic lower back pain.
Why else does back pain last so long? Well, it’s easy to get confused because you’ve been told different things, by different people. There’s lots of people out there who are happy to dispense advice – but not all of it is credible. Maybe you think your back pain was caused by doing something – like lifting or sleeping awkwardly – but really it was caused by years and years of poor posture that caused the muscles in your lower back to become weak and the lifting of the awkward sleeping was just the EFFECT of that.
If you don’t know what you’re doing – back pain can be very confusing and because of this, many people just end up accepting it as “part of life” – as if it’s normal, and “just the way it is.”
You thought the pain would go away on it’s own, but it didn’t
You went to your doctor who told you to take pain pills or try an injection – but the pills did nothing and the pain came right back when the injection wore off
A family member or friend told you that everybody gets Back Pain when they get older, so you just accepted it
You tried other healthcare professionals, another physiotherapist, or a chiropractor, but nothing seemed to help
You tried Youtube exercises but they either didn’t do a thing, or made your Back Pain ten times worse
You thought it would be a good idea to just rest because your Back Pain was so bad, but all that did was make it feel even more stiff and tight
You decided to get a few massages, thinking that would soothe and fix the pain. But all that did was make it feel nice and relaxed but did nothing to fix it long term
One of the best things to help you ease your back pain is to do the right series of progressed exercises – the right exercises carefully selected and given to you by a specialist sports therapist. The right exercises will help you reduce pain and allow you to move more freely again quickly – while making sure that the problems don’t come back anytime soon (or aggravate your back even more like some exercises do).
Ever tried to get up from the couch after resting for a while, but you struggle because your back feels so painful and tight? That’s because one of the worst things you can do that adds to back pain is rest, or sit for too long. Too much rest, and sitting in awkward positions makes your back stiff and tight. It would really help if you were given appropriate strengthening exercises for better posture, alongside hands-on treatment, to get you active and healthy as quickly as possible.
