Back Pain

If You’ve Got Lower Back Pain, Stiffness Or A Dull Ache That Just Won’t Go Away – You Might Be Thinking That It’s Nothing And 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... 

You may not be able to think of a specific reason why it happened- but it doesn’t seem to be getting any better!

If this is 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 office in Crofton, Maryland.

And when it comes to living with back pain, everybody we see wants to know

or

Most people hope that when they have Back Pain, it will simply go away on its own.

That one morning they will wake up and “magically” it will disappear ... But then 6 months later you begin to realize that you are still living on a daily basis with back pain that is often even worse than it was when it began.

Does it seem like no one is really listening to you and dismisses you? Everyone tells you “it’s just a fact of life as you get older”. Did you go to the Doctors’, and the Doctor tells you to rest and “try these painkillers or muscle relaxers” and “see how it goes”? We hear about these encounters every day at our Physical Therapy office.

But this is rarely ever the best advice and often 6 weeks later, they end up going back to the Doctor again because it hasn’t gotten any better. Worse, they’re often given yet another prescription of even stronger pills and advised EVEN MORE rest. This is incredibly frustrating and explains why so many people aged 35+ are suffering with chronic lower back pain.

You may be asking yourself at this point 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 so many different people. There’s lots of people out there who are happy to give you their advice and opinion, and even more places to find “advice” on the internet - but not all of it is credible.

Maybe you think your back pain was caused by something you did - like lifting something or sleeping in a weird position - but really it was caused by years and years of poor posture that made the muscles in your lower back become weak and the lifting or the weird sleeping position was just the EFFECT of that and not the cause.

Even if you don't have pain every day, are you concerned about the pain popping up during the most inconvenient time? Are you worried about the pain striking on vacation or during a family event that ruins the trip for everyone? Are you feeling like you can’t keep up with your family and friends because you may be in back pain later?

For most people - back pain can be very confusing and frustrating especially if you don’t know what to do about it. This is the single biggest reason why most people just end up accepting it as ‘part of life’ - as if it’s normal, and ‘just the way it is’. In fact, this is probably the same thing that some of your friends and family told you…”it’s just what happens as we age”.
