🚫 Back Pain? Don’t Do These 3 Things 🚫

If you’ve got low back pain or sciatica, these common mistakes can actually make it worse 👇

1️⃣ Don’t Rest 🛑
Total rest leads to stiffness, weakness, and slower healing. Your spine needs safe, guided movement to recover properly.

2️⃣ Don’t Stretch Through Pain ⚠️
Painful stretching can irritate discs and nerves. Not all back pain needs stretching—sometimes it needs stability and rehab first.

3️⃣ Don’t Rush to Get an X-ray or MRI ❌🩻
Most back pain doesn’t show up on imaging and findings often don’t match symptoms. Imaging without a plan can create fear instead of answers.

✅ What should you do?
Get a proper exam, understand why your back hurts, and follow a movement-based rehab plan that actually fixes the problem.

🩻 Think you need an X-ray for low back pain?
Most of the time… you don’t. ❌

The majority of low back pain cases are caused by bulging or irritated discs, not fractures, tumors, or structural damage that an X-ray can clearly show. X-rays only capture bones — they do NOT show discs, nerves, or soft tissue that are usually the real source of pain.

📉 What X-rays don’t tell us:
• Disc bulges or herniations
• Nerve irritation
• Muscle or ligament injuries
• Movement dysfunction

✅ What actually matters for low back pain:
• Detailed history
• Functional movement assessment
• Neurological testing
• Targeted rehab + progressive loading

Back pain doesn’t automatically mean something is “out of place” or broken — and it rarely requires surgery. The right evaluation and treatment plan matters far more than unnecessary imaging.

❌ Adjustments alone aren’t enough.

If you want long-term relief from low back pain or sciatica, you have to do rehab exercises.

Why? Because pain usually comes from:
➡️ Weak or under-trained muscles
➡️ Poor movement patterns
➡️ Nerve irritation that needs gradual loading

✅ Rehab exercises help retrain movement
✅ Build strength and stability
✅ Reduce flare-ups and keep pain from coming back

This is why my approach combines chiropractic care + structured rehab, not quick fixes.

💥 Back pain does NOT automatically mean surgery.

Most low back pain and sciatica cases can be treated safely and effectively with the right diagnosis, movement-based rehab, and conservative care.

As a chiropractor and rehab specialist, my job is to:
✔️ Explain what’s actually causing your pain
✔️ Calm symptoms without unnecessary injections or surgery
✔️ Build strength so the pain doesn’t keep coming back

If you’ve been told “you’ll probably need surgery” but haven’t tried a structured, evidence-based treatment plan yet — you still have options.

📩 DM “APPT” to see if your back pain is easily treatable.

Low back pain or sciatica? You don’t automatically need meds or surgery. 🚫💊🔪

Most people are told their only options are painkillers, injections, or surgery — but that’s rarely true.

As a chiropractor who focuses on movement, nerve health, and rehab, my job is to:
✅ Find the root cause of your pain
✅ Reduce nerve irritation (sciatica)
✅ Restore strength, mobility, and confidence
✅ Help you avoid unnecessary procedures
If your back pain keeps coming back, it’s usually because the problem was never actually fixed.

🧱 Stiff back? This is where you start.

If your back feels tight, locked up, or hard to straighten:

✅ Standing extensions
✅ Cobra extensions
✅ Light cardio (walking, bike, incline treadmill)

Why this works:
• Extension restores spinal motion
• Repeated movement reduces stiffness
• Cardio increases blood flow and calms the nervous system

You do not need to stretch everything.
You do not need to rest for weeks.

You need the right movement.

📩 DM “APPT” if stiffness keeps turning into pain

🏋️ “Why does your rehab bay look like a gym?”

Because rehab isn’t passive.

Pain doesn’t go away just because something was adjusted.
It goes away when your body learns how to move, stabilize, and produce force again.

Machines don’t fix movement problems.
Movement fixes movement problems.

That’s why my rehab bay looks like a gym:
• Strength restores stability
• Control prevents flare-ups
• Real-world movement builds resilience
• Rehab prepares you for life—not just the table

If rehab looks easy, it probably isn’t rehab.

⚖️ What you WANT vs what you NEED

What you want:
👉 Quick relief
👉 One adjustment
👉 Pain gone today

What you need:
👉 Better movement
👉 Strength + stability
👉 Rehab that sticks
👉 A plan—not a quick fix

I get it. Pain makes you want fast relief.
But relief without rehab is why pain keeps coming back.

Adjustments help.
Rehab changes the outcome.

🗣️ I’m a chiropractor… and you need to do rehab.

If adjustments alone fixed back pain,
you wouldn’t be back every few weeks.

An adjustment restores motion.
Rehab teaches your body how to keep it.

That’s the missing piece:
• Strength
• Control
• Stability
• Better movement

No rehab = temporary relief.
Rehab = long-term change.

I don’t just want you to feel better today.
I want your pain to stay gone.

🚨 Signs you need more than “just an adjustment”

If pain keeps coming back, the problem isn’t that you need to be cracked harder 👀

You likely need movement + rehab, not a quick fix.

⚠️ Red flags:
• Pain returns within 24–72 hours
• Relief feels short-lived
• Stretching doesn’t help
• Pain changes with sitting, walking, or exercise
• You feel weak, unstable, or guarded
• Adjustments help… but don’t hold

An adjustment can restore motion.
Rehab teaches your body how to keep it.

That’s how real change happens.

🚫 Stretching your hamstrings won’t fix your back pain

If your “tight hamstrings” never loosen up, it’s probably not a muscle problem.
It’s your sciatic nerve getting irritated 🧠⚡

❌ Stretching pulls harder on an already sensitive nerve
✅ Nerve glides help restore movement without aggravating it

That’s why:
• Hamstring stretches feel intense
• Relief never lasts
• Your back pain keeps coming back

The fix isn’t stretching harder — it’s moving smarter.

📩 DM “APPT” if your back pain hasn’t responded to stretching
