Many Canadians will experience back pain at some point. A common concern of patients is if they’ll be like this for the rest of their life. Unfortunately, beliefs like this are associated with greater levels of pain, disability and medication use. Back pain can absolutely be scary and disabling. So here are some facts about back pain that you might find reassuring.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Ongoing back pain can be worrisome, but it’s rare to be life-threatening.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Age is not related to the onset or progression of back pain.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Chronic back pain is not often associated with serious tissue damage.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Diagnostic imaging is often not helpful in determining the cause of back pain.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Pain during movement does not mean you are causing further damage - it means you are using tissues that are sensitive.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Poor posture does not cause back pain.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Back pain is not caused by a weak core.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Everyday movements and activities can contribute to the strength and resiliency of your back.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Back pain flare ups are related to changes in activity, stress and mood; they do not mean more tissue damage.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Low-risk, non-invasive treatments are helpful.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I could write a post on each of the above and barely scratch the surface. Reach out if you have questions or want to learn more about any of the above. We are always here to help educate our community and reduce fear surrounding back pain.​​​​​​​​

There are times when we all want a quick fix. The truth is when it comes to your health, what works is time and repetition. That could look like giving our bodies a couple of days to deal with inflammation. It could be eating your veggies and drinking enough water every day. It could be getting in your steps day after day. It could also look like frequent treatment. Your biggest investment is your health. Make sure your time and efforts are well spent.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The snow is here! Here are a couple of quick tips in order to avoid needing our help this winter season.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pick the right shovel - shovels with a curved handle and that are plastic versus metal are better choices.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Push where possible - avoid repetitive lifting and push the snow. Pushing from the centre of body is helpful as well as it will reduce rotation about the spine.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lighten the load - move smaller amounts of snow more often.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Break frequently - divide the work into smaller amounts, especially when dealing with lots of snow.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are always here for you if you need us. But try these suggestions to see if makes shovelling more manageable for you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
