I Want To Take Control Of My Back Pain
Taking control of your back pain recovery is the most beneficial thing that you can do. The problem is that all too often chronic back pain is the result of bad practice and delays.
The standard procedure for most, non emergency back pain seems to be to just leave it and assume it will get better on its own. Of course if you have a minor ache in a few days this will frequently clear itself up. But in these cases Dr YouTube is very infrequently consulted, and a real Dr isn’t either.
However, once you pass a 5-7 days of back pain not recovering people will typically seek help. And a proactive approach time and time again yields results.
Notice we said results and not magic.
Back pain that does last longer than this couple of days, frequently has many factors that lead to the back pain and that contribute to the lack of recovery. The majority of these things can be solved only by you. Now that’s not to say that guidance and help is not going to be helpful and in many cases necessary.
What we mean here is that no-one is going to give you a magic pill, and the pain go away. The resolution of this sort of back pain – including sciatica – involves your input. It involved you doing work to rehabilitate properly.
Rehabilitation is essentially taking part in practices that are addressing weaknesses in your strength, movement patterns and even the approaches you take to daily activities. The latter being so frequently overlooked.
If there is one mistake that is a real frustration for us, it is the “waiting” to do anything at all until an appointment is had, often sometimes weeks or months away into the future.
The reason for this is that it is simply not a smart move in the majority of cases. Doing nothing for this time isn’t really doing nothing, as frequently “nothing” means just battling on with or without the aid of pain killers. In most cases continuing to do the things that contributed to the problem in the first case.
Like many health conditions, early intervention is of high importance when it comes to improving prognosis. If there is one thing to take away from this video, it is to realise that inaction is a form of action.
One which is unlikely to positively impact your long term back health.
Take control of your back pain rehab, you have a huge amount of control and ability to rectify the problem with a little guidance!
