This title was the exact statement a recent patient told me during a consultation regarding her sufferings of low back and hip pain from work/military/life traumas. She had seen many specialists, holistic, pain management, workmen comps and acupuncturist, however, her low back and hip pain persisted. She was under constant pain and tension through her legs that left her full of anxiety and constantly having to adapt the activities she still wanted to do.
When I asked her how long she had been suffering, she said 5 YEARS! (Since 2014). When did having pain become a social standard, like a badge of honor?
Who is to blame? Who manages it? Who consults the patient? And furthermore, what type of evidence is there to treat it?
This is where the rubber meets the road, the TREATMENT for low back pain.
With a simple search on good old Google, you can have over 2 million hits for
‘TREATMENTS for Low back pain’.
Imagine…. Going to the Walmart, Target, or Costco, looking for bread, and having over 2 million options to choose from… what on earth would you do?
Like most people, people, in general, have a hard time making decisions. It’s not that they don’t want to decide, but it’s the fear of making the wrong decision that really ‘freezes’ people from choosing. Then, to add insult to injury, if they do DECIDE, and for some reason, it does not work, or it costs them time and money, they give up hope and assume nothing else is out there (even though they saw 2 million options of treatment available)
Over the last decade of treating patients with acute, sub-acute, and chronic low back pain I hear this all the time:
“I have degenerative disc disease,"
“I have stenosis in my spine,"
“I’ve been on pain management for 5+ years,"
“I have done Physical Therapy before with no help,"
“I visit my Chiropractor every week,"
“My back pain is hereditary; all my family has had it,"
“I used to be very active, but I just can’t walk for 5 mins before my back pain starts,”
“When I’m busy, I don’t feel my back, but when I sit for a long time or go to lay down my back pain lights me up and it’s difficult to move or transfer,”
“etc….”
Do any of these excuses or statements sound familiar?
If they do, I invite you to be open to what growing evidence is showing to have far more success long term for low back pain resolution.
