Back Pain

“How To End Back Pain And Stiffness Without Painkillers, Risking Surgery Or Having To Wait To See The Doctor

Does your back always feel stiff, sore, and uncomfortable?

Outside the brain, the back and spine contain some of the most complex and delicate structures inside the human body, from spinal disks, vertebrae, and network of nerves to ligaments, tendons, and the web of muscles and connective tissue that covers the entire back.

With so much going on inside the back, you combine that with our sedentary lifestyles, lack of exercise, and being permanently slouched over laptops and hunched over smartphones. It is not hard to see why so many things can go wrong and why so many people suffer from back pain.

So, we know that lots of people get back pain, but unfortunately, no two cases of back pain are the same. Lower back pain is the most type of back pain, but mid and upper back pain in the muscular upper quadrant underneath the neck and shoulder is common too. That's why it requires an experienced physical therapist to pinpoint the exact cause of your case of back pain.

It might be painful for you to move in a specific way, like twisting to one side. For others, the pain might always be there – even when they're lying down and trying to get to sleep. There's no getting away from it – back pain is miserable in all its forms. For many patients, back pain comes with other scary symptoms, like muscle spasms or a feeling like your back is going to "give way."

That’s the bad news, but the good news is that we successfully treat patients with back pain and stiffness daily at Apex Orthopedic Rehabilitation. It's one of the most common pain issues we treat.

“BUT WHY IS IT HAPPENING TO ME?”

or

“WHY DO I STILL HAVE BACK PAIN AFTER 6 MONTHS+?””

Hopefully, you haven’t been in pain every day for 6+ months. But many of the patients we see have waited that long, sometimes even longer. Mistakenly believing that everyone gets back pain – especially above a certain age. But this is a misconception. Your back and spine should move freely without pain or stiffness, regardless of age, and something is wrong if it doesn't. You need a physical therapist ASAP before things get even worse.

Have you had back pain for over 7 days?

If your back pain has been hanging around for more than a week. You've probably seen a doctor who told you to take anti-inflammatory medication, "take it easy," and come back and see them if the pain doesn't improve. Sadly, for most people, the pain doesn't improve. They waste hours returning back and forward to the doctor’s office only to be given more lousy advice.
