Back Pain Myths You’ve Been Told By Doctors, Friends, And Social Media – That Keep You In Pain, And Taking Pills

MYTH #1 - Rest Helps Your Back Pain And Sciatica

This is the number one biggest myth that I hear from the people of Denver! I know that if you're reading this you have definitely fallen foul of this because this is a myth that everyone echoes.

Not only does rest not relieve your back pain in the long-term, but it can also do more damage!

When you rest for a prolonged period of time, you are stopping the blood flow to the area, which will cause more swelling, pain and slow down the overall recovery.

But as the leading back pain expert in Denver, I am here to tell you that you need to get moving!

Rest is not the way to treat back pain and sciatica.

Instead, you should keep moving to encourage blood flow to the affected area, which in turn also encourages the healing process of your body.

MYTH #3 - Stretching and exercises fix your back pain

This one may sound a bit counter-intuitive because stretching and exercises can help relieve back pain and sciatica BUT only when they are designed and personalized to you, and your unique back pain.

As the leading back pain expert in Denver, I treat countless people every week that come into my clinic and every single one of them tells me that they have tried stretches and exercises at home, but if those had worked then they wouldn't be sat in my office, right?

The problem is that your back pain is specific to YOU!

And when you are applying a general approach to a specific, and individual problem, you aren't going to get results.

That's why my expert team and I give you undivided, 1-1 time, and treat you with a personalized plan that gives you exactly what you need - all without having to resort to pills, injections, braces, or surgery.
