MYTH #1 - Low back pain is caused by arthritis.
Fact 👉 Arthritis is most commonly associated with
aging but not always pain.
MYTH #2 - You should rest or stop activity if you're
experiencing low back pain. 🛑
Fact 👉 Rest may be detrimental to recovery from back
pain and potentially can lead to increased pain and muscle atrophy.
MYTH #3 - The spine is delicate and easily injured.
Fact 👉 The spine and its surrounding muscles, tendons
and ligaments comprise a well-designed structure that's incredibly strong, flexible
and supportive.
MYTH #4 - An MRI scan is needed to diagnose my back pain. 🩺
Fact 👉 Chiropractors can develop a successful
treatment approach based off a thorough medical history and physical exam. Only
specific symptom patterns in a minority of cases indicate the need for MRI or
other diagnostic imaging.
MYTH #5 - Back pain and back problems won't happen to me. 😲
Fact 👉 Approximately 8/10 people will experience low
back pain at some point in their lifetime. Back pain is the second most common
reason people visit their primary care doctor.
