Back Pain
Discover how to Put an End to Back Pain and Stiffness - Without Taking Painkillers, Without Risking Surgery and Without Having to Wait to See the Doctor!
If you or someone you know has got lower back pain, stiffness or an ache - it’s very tempting to think that it’s nothing, that it will go away on its 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 shifting!
If that’s happening to you, you’re not alone - and we hear this type of thing all the time. In fact, Lower Back Pain and Sciatica is THE most common problem that we see in our physical therapy practice at Universus Physical Therapy.
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 6 Months (Maybe More)?”
Most people think that when they get back pain, it’s just going to go away on its 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 physical therapy practice is when people go to the Doctor, and the Doctor tells them to rest and “try these painkillers” and “see how it goes”.
Does That Sound Like You?
The irony really is that the "wait and see" approach to treating low back pain is highly ineffective. It often causes more frustration because the passive approach does not work for most people. And then they tell you to rest some more or order high-level imaging, like an MRI (which you have to wait even longer for). And we wonder why we have such a problem with managing low back pain here! It's madness... and even borderline insanity (that we keep doing things the same way and expecting a different result each time). This can even explain why so many people aged 40+ 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? Well, it’s easy to get confused because you’ve been told different things, by different people. There are 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 or the awkward sleeping position was just the EFFECT of that. (People with strong backs and good posture don’t have issues with lifting and sleeping)
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 NOT live victim to the diagnosis! You certainly may have one of these conditions (or another one not listed), but it doesn't mean that it is the source of your pain. It also does not mean that you need expensive imaging to confirm this condition. In fact, more people have similar issues, but have little to no pain and function actively without limitations.
