Back Pain

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’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 its own. Or, you pass it off as having 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 getting better!

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 Rancho Cucamonga Physical Therapy 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 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.

Does That Sound Like You?

Another scenario we see all the time in our Clinic is when people go to the Doctor, and are told to rest and are prescribed an anti-inflammatory, a muscle relaxer, or pain killer (often all 3!) and “see how it goes”.

But this is rarely ever the best advice and our clients often end up going back to the Doctor again because it hasn’t got any better. In fact, 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 with chronic lower back pain.

Has This Type Of Thing Happened To You?

Why else can back pain last longer than it should? Well, it’s easy to get confused because there is so much information out there. 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 an accumulation of stress to the back over time that caused the muscles and structures in your l​ower back to become vulnerable to the lifting or the awkward sleeping position that resulted in pain.

It can be very confusing to know exactly what to do – and because of this, many people just end up accepting it as ‘part of life’ – as if it’s normal, and ‘nothing can really be done about it’.

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 the 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…

If any of these have happened to you – we would love to help you by inviting you to book a call to talk with one of our Physical Therapists at our Rancho Cucamonga Clinic to find out what can be done to help you. The fact that you’ve tried any or all of these things already is actually a GOOD THING because when you know what doesn’t work – you are closer to finding the thing that does!

“What Can I Do To Get Rid Of MY Back Pain Quickly?”…

Well, here’s 4 things you can do:

  1. First off, you need to make a decision about getting help. So many people procrastinate for so long, thinking that back pain will ‘just go away with time’, but then 6 months down the line they’re still putting up with it, and nothing’s changed… Or it gets worse
  2. Next, do the RIGHT exercises – one of the best things to help you ease your back pain is to do the right series of progressed exercises – the right exercises given to you by a physical therapist will help reduce pain, and allow you to move freely again quick – and make sure that the problems don’t come back anytime soon (or aggravate your back even more like some exercises do).
  3. Avoid sitting and long periods of rest – ever tried to get up from the sofa 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, and sit for long periods of time. 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.
  4. Get​ real, “hands-on” Physical Therapy – PT is proven to help people with low-back pain. In fact at Form and Function Physical Therapy it’s one of the most common injuries we see. If your back pain is affecting your job, your ability to keep active, if it threatens your independence or gets in the way of spending quality time with family and friends – PT can help get you back to living the life you deserve as quickly as possible.
