Overtreated: Time May Be Best Treatment for Back Pain
Here’s an interesting article that was published in USA Today. My favorite tip in this article is about resuming normal activity as soon as possible. I always preach to my patients that being sedentary is worst thing you can do even if you are in pain. I don’t expect you to run a marathon if you are hurting, but you still need to keep moving!
This is yet another reminder that conservative care for the first six weeks is better than jumping on the injection/surgical bandwagon. Please reference an earlier blog called “The Natural History of Uncomplicated Low Back pain”
I am here to help!
