How To Eliminate Back Pain and Stiffness Without Medications, Surgery, Or Skipping Your Workouts!
It’s very common to think that back pain is nothing, that it will go away on its own. It’s also common to blame it on “sleeping awkwardly” or that it’s just a “spasm” or something “everyone” at some point suffers from.
There’s no obvious reason why it happened – but it doesn’t seem to be changing!
If that’s happening to you, you’re definitely not alone, and we hear this type of thing all the time. In fact, low 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 is This Happening to Me?”
or
“Why Am I Still Suffering With Back Pain After Putting Up With It For 3-6 Months (Sometimes More?)"
Most people think that when they get back pain that it’s just going to go away on its own.
While many cases of low back pain can resolve on their own, there are also many cases that continue for weeks, months, and sometimes even years. In these cases, the best course of action is to get professional help from a healthcare provider who understands back pain and your lifestyle, so that they can help you come up with an individualized plan to get rid of your back pain.
Does That Sound Like You?
Another scenario we see all the time in our clinic is when people go to the doctor’s, and the doctor tells them to rest and “try these painkillers” and “see how it goes”.
However, this is rarely ever the best advice and often 4 weeks later they end up going back to the doctor again because it hasn’t got any better. What’s even worse, they’re often given yet another prescription of even stronger pills, and advised MORE rest and to avoid things like squats and deadlifts. This is ridiculous and explains why so many people in the U.S. are suffering with chronic lower back pain.
Has This Type Of Thing Happened To You?
Why else does back pain last longer than it should do? It’s easy to get confused because you’ve been told so many different things, by a variety of different people. There’s lots of people out there who are happy to provide advice – but a lot of it is rarely credible.
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’.
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:
- 1. You thought it would go away on it’s own - but it didn’t
- 2. You went to the doctor who told you to rest and take painkillers - but the pills did nothing to help your back, and as soon as they wore off, chronic back pain struck again
- 3. A family member, or friend, told you that everybody gets back pain as they get older, so you just accepted it
- 4. You tried other Healthcare Professionals, or a physical therapist in the past, but nothing they said or did seemed to help
- 5. You tried YouTube exercises but they either didn’t do a thing, or made your back pain ten times worse
- 6. You thought it would be a good idea to rest because your back pain was so bad, but all that did was make it feel even more stiff and tight
- 7. You decided to get a few “massages” hoping that would fix the pain, but all they did was feel nice and relaxing, and didn’t do anything to fix it long term
