  • Lower Back Pain
  • Does That Sound Like You?
  • Has This Type Of Thing Happened To You?

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 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 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 osteopathic clinic in Houston.

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 Six Months (Maybe More)?

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 six 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 osteopathic clinic is when people go to the Doctors, and the Doctor tells them to rest and try these painkillers? and see how it goes?.

But this is rarely ever the best advice and often six weeks later, they end up going back to the Doctor again because it hasn’t got any better. Worse, they’re often given yet another prescription of even stronger pills, and advised MORE rest. This is putting a band aid on the root problem and explains why so many people aged 40+ are suffering with lower back pain.

Why else does back pain last longer than it should do? 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 most commonly 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 position 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.

If You’re Currently Living With Back Pain, Here are 7 More Reasons Why It Could Be Lasting Longer Than It Should:

  • You thought it would go away on it’s own – but it didn’t
  • 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
  • A family member, or friend, told you that everybody gets Back pain as they get older, so you just accepted it
  • You tried other Healthcare Professionals, or a physical therapist in the past, but nothing they said or did 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 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? 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 our osteopath here in Montrose to find out what can be done to help you.

What Can I Do To Reduce MY Back Pain Quickly?…”

Well, here’s what you can do:

  • 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 six months down the line they’re still putting up with it, and nothings changed Or it gets worse
  • Next, take your wallet OUT of your back pocket – one of the best things to help you ease your Back pain is to keep your wallet out of your back pocket. Sitting down with a wallet in your back pocket makes your pelvis unlevel, which then puts unnecessary torque on your spine and can lead to back pain.
  • 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? Thats 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.
  • Get real, hands-on? Osteopathic Treatment- Osteopathy is proven to help people with low-back pain. In fact, at Osteopathic Healing Hands it’s one of the most common injuries we see.

What is the difference between licensing and board certification for a physician, and do you have any of these?

Physicians are required to be licensed to practice medicine in the U.S. by the licensing board in each state they wish to practice.

A board certified physician has completed an additional training program in a specialty and has passed a rigorous exam to assess his or her knowledge, skills and experience to provide quality patient care in that specialty.

In my case, I am licensed to practice medicine in Texas, and I have two board certifications. The first one is Family Medicine and the second one is Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine/Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine.
