Ever seen a grown man cry? Back pain can take down even the biggest and strongest among us. Crying is not a sign of weakness - but an aching back pain may be a sign of core weakness or instability. Low back pain is the most predominant musculoskeletal injury and the #1 cause of lost productivity at work. Back pain has also led to an epidemic of opiod painkiller usage and addiction.

Back Pain Got You Sidelined?

There are many causes of back pain:

1. Inactivity
2. Sitting too much
3. Poor posture
4. Improper lifting technique
5. Footwear
6. Aging
7. Inadequate sleeping support

And that's to name just a few. Sometimes, you know exactly why you're having the symptoms you're having. And sometimes, it's not clear why you're having back pain, or what caused it. But it becomes clear - the impact on your life is significant.

Back pain has a way of robbing you blind. Suddenly, the simplest of activities in your daily life become challenging: getting dressed, picking up your bag or purse from the floor, or even simply rolling over in bed. And those things that you really enjoy - like running, biking, playing tennis, lifting in the gym, lifting your kids? They become unimaginable. But it'll just go away, right?

Sound Familiar?

Back pain can sometimes be easy to ignore, until it's impossible to ignore. We often hear "My back goes out 2-3 times a year, for the past 10 years". So, some questions come to mind:

"How long has your pain been going on?"

And...

"What have you done for your pain before now?"

The answers may sound familiar. Many people have been dealing with their back pain for months and years. And what have they done for it? Most often: Nothing. But it stands to reason: If you do Nothing you'll get Nothing. Maybe the pain "wasn't that bad", or it went away on it's own before - but it's just not going away.

What Is This Costing You?

For some, it's the fear of not knowing what it will cost to have your back pain addressed. However, the greater question is - "What is it costing you to not fix it?". What is it costing you in lost sleep, extra days off from work? Is it costing you time away from your family, lost time playing with the kids? Or are you still paying for your gym membership, unable to workout or go to class?

We understand you may be afraid of surgery, or living a life dependent on taking pills. But what if it only took you 5 minutes each day to try one of the tips in The Back Pain Fix? What if one exercise made you feel 10% better? What if you could meet with a Doctor of Physical Therapy and get some questions answered? Aside from our guide, we also offer a free 30-minute "No-Sweat" Discovery Visit to do just that.
