Back Pain
A Message From Dr. Khoa Nguyen PT, DPT, Owner and Founder of Max Performance Therapy
It’s a prevalent belief that back pain is a minor issue that will resolve on its own. It’s also typical to attribute it to sleeping in an awkward position or to categorize it as a spasm or a common ailment that everyone experiences at some point.
There doesn’t appear to be a clear cause for its occurrence, and it seems to be persisting without any improvement.
If you’re experiencing this, you’re not alone, and we hear about this issue frequently. Lower back pain and sciatica are the most prevalent problems that we encounter in our clinic!
Regarding living with back pain, everybody we encounter wants to know…
“Why Is This Happening to Me?” or “Why Am I Still Enduring Back Pain Even After Tolerating It for 3-6 Months or Longer?” These Are Common Questions We Hear From Many Individuals.
In actuality, most of us assume that when we experience back pain, it will simply disappear on its own.
We tend to hold the belief that there will be a miraculous moment when we wake up one morning, and our back problem will have vanished. However, after six months, we may find ourselves with more severe chronic back problems that are often more significant than our initial symptoms.
Does That Resonate With Your Experience?
It’s highly frustrating for us when individuals with chronic lower back pain come to our clinic and share that their previous physician advised them to “rest” and take pain medication. The issue with this approach is that it doesn’t yield results. If they hadn’t sought treatment from our clinic, they would have returned to their physician still experiencing pain and feeling frustrated.
Have You Experienced Something Similar?
Determining the most effective treatment for your back pain can be challenging. You may have received various recommendations from authoritative figures, yet regrettably, the majority of these suggestions are unhelpful.
The frequency with which you engage in certain activities is crucial, not just when you’re experiencing pain. Poor posture and movement can result in weakened areas or aggravated injuries, making it more challenging to strengthen those regions. Failing to take action to restore balance via targeted strengthening exercises can result in chronic pain.
Back pain can be perplexing, and many people tend to accept it as a normal part of life. This is why backache often persists much longer than it should. With so many different sources offering varying instructions, it can be challenging to know what to do, particularly since not all of the advice is trustworthy.
Do You Also Feel the Same?
If You’re Currently Experiencing Back Pain, Here Are Seven Additional Reasons Why It Might Be Persisting Longer Than It Should:
- Despite your belief that it would subside on its own, the pain persisted.
- Following your doctor’s advice to rest and consume painkillers proved ineffective, and the chronic discomfort reappeared after the medication’s effects had worn off.
- You accepted back pain as an inevitable part of the aging process experienced by everyone.
- Despite consulting other healthcare practitioners or undergoing physical therapy in the past, their recommendations and treatments yielded no positive results.
- Your attempts at following exercises from YouTube either proved futile or exacerbated the severity of your back pain.
- You assumed that resting would alleviate your intense back pain, but instead, it worsened your condition.
- You indulged in a few “massage” sessions in the hopes of relieving your pain, but they only provided temporary relaxation and failed to address the problem’s underlying cause.

What Are Some Ways to Quickly Alleviate My Back Pain?
Well, here are four things you can do:
- The first step is to decide to seek help: Assuming that your back pain will simply disappear on its own can be a big mistake. As many of us have experienced, it doesn’t work that way, and after six months, you’ll still be dealing with discomfort. What you need is a program that works, along with some simple changes in your daily life to prevent this cycle from recurring!
- Next, focus on doing the CORRECT exercises: Working with a qualified physiotherapist to determine the right series of exercises can help alleviate your back pain and improve your range of motion. These exercises can be an effective way to quickly get relief, so don’t delay!
- Minimize prolonged sitting and inactivity: Prolonged sitting, such as lounging on a sofa for extended periods, can worsen your back pain. It is crucial to incorporate more movement and exercise into your routine, and seek the assistance of physical therapists who understand the significance of this to achieve optimal health and speedy recovery.
- Seek hands-on Physical Therapy: Physical therapy can be highly effective in treating low-back pain. At Max Performance Therapy, we frequently work with individuals suffering from this condition and are committed to helping you find relief as quickly as possible through personalized, hands-on treatment.
