Lower back pain MYTHS and FACTS:

Myth 1
Rest is the Best Treatment for Lower Back Pain

Fact:
While short-term rest may be necessary for acute back pain, prolonged bed rest is generally not recommended. Staying active with gentle movement and exercises can promote healing, prevent muscle atrophy, and improve back pain.

Myth 2:
Lower Back Pain is Always Due to a Serious Problem

Fact:
Not all lower back pain is a sign of a severe or underlying condition. In fact, most lower back pain is due to muscle strains or sprains, poor posture, or overuse. It’s important to get a proper diagnosis to rule out serious issues, but most cases of lower back pain are not emergencies.

Myth 3:
You Need a Special Mattress for Lower Back Pain

Fact:
While a supportive mattress can help, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution for mattresses and lower back pain. The best mattress for you depends on your individual preferences and body type. It’s essential to choose a mattress that provides adequate support while being comfortable for you.

Myth 4:
You Should Avoid Exercise with Lower Back Pain

Fact:
Gentle, appropriate exercise is often beneficial for lower back pain. Physical therapy and specific exercises can help strengthen the muscles that support the lower back and improve flexibility, reducing the risk of future pain episodes.

Myth 5:
Surgery is the Only Solution for Severe Lower Back Pain

Fact:
Surgery is typically considered when conservative treatments have failed to provide relief or when there is a specific structural issue that requires surgical correction. Most cases of lower back pain can be effectively managed with non-surgical approaches, such as physical therapy, medications, and lifestyle modifications.
