Back Pain
"How To Get Rid Of Back Pain And Stiffness Without Medications, Risking Surgery, Or Having To Wait To See Your Doctor!"
Don't give up your desired lifestyle because of problems that can be remedied. That is why we created this specifically for you.
A Message From Scott Dixon, Owner & Founder Of Integrative Physical Therapy
It’s common to believe that back discomfort is insignificant and will go away on its own. It’s also typical to blame it on “awkward sleeping,” a “spasm,” or something “everyone” suffers from at some point…
There is no evident cause for it, but it does not appear to be changing!
If this is happening to you, you are not alone; we hear stories like this all the time. The most common ailment we see in our clinic is lower back pain and sciatica!
And when it comes to living with back pain, everyone we visit is curious…
“Why Is This Happening to Me?” or, “Why Am I Still in Pain After Putting Up With It for 3-6 Months? (Sometimes Longer!)”
Most people believe that if they have back pain, it will go away on its own.
They believe that if they wake up one morning, their back pain will vanish as if by “magic”… But 6 months later, they’re still suffering from back pain, which is frequently worse than when it initially began.
Does It Describe You?
Another scenario that we encounter frequently in our clinic is when clients go to the doctor and are told to rest and “try these painkillers” and “see how it goes.”
However, this is rarely the greatest advice, and many people end up coming back to the doctor after 4 weeks since things haven’t improved. Worse, they’re frequently given another prescription for harsher drugs and told to rest even more. This is absurd, and it explains why so many individuals in the United States suffer from persistent lower back discomfort.
Has Something Similar Happened to You?
What else could explain why back discomfort lasts longer than it should? It’s easy to become perplexed because you’ve been told so many different things by so many different people. There are plenty of individuals willing to offer advice, but much of it is rarely reliable.
Perhaps you believe your back pain was caused by something you did, such as lifting or sleeping in an awkward position, but it was caused by years and years of poor posture and poor movement, which caused the muscles in your lower back to become weak, and the lifting or awkward sleeping position was just the EFFECT of that.
Back pain may be very perplexing if you don’t know what you’re doing, and as a result, many people just accept it as ‘part of life’ – as if it’s normal and ‘just the way it is’. What else could explain why back discomfort lasts longer than it should? It’s easy to become perplexed because you’ve been told so many different things by so many different people.

Do You Have the Same Thoughts?
If You Have Back Pain, Here Are 7 More Reasons Why It May Be Lasting Longer Than It Should:
- You expected it to go away on its own, but it didn't.
- You went to the doctor, who advised you to relax and take pain relievers, but the drugs did little to improve your back, and once they wore off, chronic back pain returned.
- You just accepted it because a family member or acquaintance informed you that everyone suffers back pain as they get older.
- You've already tried different Healthcare Professionals or Physical therapists, but nothing they said or did appear to help.
- You attempted YouTube workouts, but they either didn't work or made your back discomfort worse.
- You thought it would be a good idea to relax because your back pain was so awful, but it only made it feel stiffer and tighter.
- You chose to get a couple of "massages" in the hopes that they would relieve your discomfort, but all they did was make you feel good and relaxed and did nothing to help you in the long run.
If any of these things have happened to you, we’d love to help you by encouraging you to schedule a call with our low back specialist to find out what we can do to help you. The fact that you’ve tried any or all of these things is a GOOD THING since knowing what doesn’t work brings you closer to discovering what does!

"What Can I Do to Get Rid of My Back Pain Quickly?"...
So, here are four things you can do:
- First and foremost, you must decide whether or not to seek assistance: So many individuals wait for so long, believing that back discomfort would 'simply go away with time,' only to find that 6 months later, nothing has changed...or it has gotten worse.
- Do the RIGHT exercises: One of the best things you can do to help ease your back pain is to do the right series of progressed exercises - the right exercises given to you by a Physiotherapist will help reduce pain, and allow you to move freely again quickly - and ensure that the problems don't come back anytime soon (or aggravate your back even more, as some exercises do).
- Avoid sitting and lengthy periods of rest: Have you ever tried to get up from the sofa after a long period of resting, only to struggle because your back is so uncomfortable and tight? That's because resting or sitting for lengthy periods is one of the worst things you can do to aggravate back discomfort. Too much rest, as well as sitting in odd positions, causes your back to stiffen and tighten. It would be extremely beneficial if you were given proper strengthening exercises for better posture, in addition to hands-on treatment, to get you active and healthy as soon as feasible.
- Get actual, "hands-on" Physical Therapy: Physical therapy has been shown to aid patients suffering from low-back discomfort. It's one of the most prevalent injuries we see in Integrative Physical Therapy. If your back pain is interfering with your career, your ability to stay active, your independence, or your ability to spend meaningful time with family and friends, physical therapy can help you get back to living the life you deserve as soon as possible.
