Back - icare Physical Therapy And Wellness

Is pain in your back making it hard to workout, sit or stand for prolonged periods, walk, drive, get out of a low chair or car, squat, or perform your normal work or home duties?

It’s very common to think that back pain is nothing, that it will go away on its own. It’s also common to blame it on “sleeping awkwardly” or that it’s just a “spasm” or something “everyone” at some point suffers from…

There’s no obvious reason why it happened – but it doesn’t seem to be changing!

If that’s happening to you, you’re definitely 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 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 1-6 Months? (Sometimes More!)

Most people think that when they get Back Pain it will just go away on its own.

They think 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 first started.

If You’re Currently Living With Back Pain, Here Are 7 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 chronic 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 our low back specialist 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!

I recently saw Tony for some extremely bad back pain. After one session with him my pain went from about an 8 (on a scale from 1-10) to about 3. After the second session, the pain was about a 1. He did several exercises in office, cupping and acupuncture and I’m so glad I went to see him. I would highly recommend him if you are having any kind of body pain.

This establishment has delivered exceptional service. I’ve tried several PTs in the past but this experience has been the only one to excel my progress in the most professional and efficient way. I was diagnosed with TOS and this PT was able to treat me without pain. He treated my nerve pain and helped me to calm down my nervous system. Now we working on improving posture, rebuilding and strengthening weak areas. He is also very friendly and good listener.

Important Things to Understand

  1. Tissues Heal. The body is designed to repair itself, but sometimes our system gets stuck in the inflammatory phase of tissue repair and needs a little help to move onto the recovery phase
  2. The true source of pain is often poorly correlated with x-ray and MRI imaging results. It is possible to have tissue damage on imaging that causes no pain or functional limitations. And it is possible to have pain with no visible findings on imaging – usually a result of nervous tissue over sensitivity.
  3. Soreness after exercise is not the goal, but it is also not always a sign of concern. True strength gains require an overload to the system which causes micro-damage. As that tissue recovers, it does so thicker and stronger than before. Soreness should be used as a way to monitor if the tissue is ready to take on more load, should stay at the current level, or should back down training intensity until the tissue is more prepared.
  4. Return to previous/desired activities is almost always possible through good education, proper mechanics, and progressive tissue loading.
