If you have low back pain, stiffness or aches, it's easy to think that it's ”no big deal” and that it will go away on its own. You might just think that you “slept funny” and that it is a normal pain that comes with age.

A lot of times the pain isn’t caused by anything obvious, but now it doesn’t seem to be going away!

If this is happening to you, you're not alone - we hear this type of thing all the time. In fact low back pain and sciatica are the most common problems we see here at Empower Physical Therapy and Wellness.

So when it comes to suffering from low back pain, everybody we see wants to know:

Most people think that back pain will just go away on its own. That they'll wake up one day and the pain will magically go away as if it never happened. But six weeks later, they're still having back pain and not only that, it has become worse.

Another scenario that we see here at our Physical Therapy Clinic is that people go to their doctors, and the doctors tell them to rest, take medications and “see how it goes”.

Unfortunately this is rarely the best advice. A lot of times, they end up going back to the doctor again because the pain hasn’t changed. Worst of all, they're given more medications, stronger pills and advised to get more rest. Or they're told by their doctor to see a specialist whose advice is a shot or have surgery. This explains why so many people are living with chronic low back pain.

Why does low back pain last longer than it should? It's easy to get confused because you've been told so many different things by different people. There are lots of people out there who are happy to give you advice, but not all of the things you hear are reliable.

Your low back pain might have been caused by something like lifting or sleeping awkwardly, but it could have been caused by other things that were never properly taken care of (e.g. poor posture, stiffness, weakness and muscle imbalance etc.) These things along with that time you lifted something awkwardly, finally caused that pain you are experiencing.

If you don't know what you're doing, or you have received poor advice, back pain can be very confusing. Because of that many people end up accepting that back pain is just part of their life.
