Back Pain: Myths And Facts

Sooner or later, most of us will be affected by back pain. Thus it is imperative that you know the truth about back pain. Unfortunately, the myths surrounding the problem make it difficult to get the record straight. Now the time has come to point out the myths and see the unembellished facts as they stand.

Myths and Facts

1. Myth: Always sit up straight.

    Fact: Sitting up too straight for long periods can put strain on your back. Take breaks a few times a day. Lean back in your chair with your feet on the floor and let your back curve slightly.

2. Myth: Don’t lift heavy things.

    Fact: It's not how much you lift, it is how you do it. Get directly in front of the object and squat close to it. Keep your back straight and head up. Use your legs to push up the load and your arms to hold it close to your middle. Try not to twist or bend your body or you may hurt your back.

3. Myth: Bed rest is the best cure.

    Fact: Resting can help you recover from a recent injury that causes back pain. But a day or two in bed can actually make it worse. Too much of bed rest can aggravate back pain.

4. Myth: Pain is caused only by injury.

    Fact: Diseases, infection and disc degeneration can also make your back hurt.

5. Myth: Fat people get back pain.

    Fact: Extra pounds will put stress on your back. So staying fit helps prevent back pain. However, back pain is common among people who exercise too strenuously, thus putting their back under great stress.

6. Myth: Skinny people don’t get back pain.

    Fact: Anyone can suffer from back pain. People who are too thin usually have weak bones. Such people are prone to get bone-related problems.

7. Myth: Exercise worsens Back pain

    Fact: Regular exercise can prevent back pain. It is common for doctors to recommend light exercise for people who have recently hurt their lower back.

8. Myth: Sleep on a firm mattress.

    Fact: While a firm mattress can prevent back pain in some people, it is not that helpful for others. You should choose a mattress based on what is causing the pain and your usual sleeping habits.
