How Can You Beat Back Pain and Stiffness
Without Taking Painkillers?Without Having to Wait to See the GP?
By visiting Chester’s Best Physiotherapy Clinic, Relive Physiotherapy.
We understand how Back Pain can take over your life. You’re probably in constant pain, your back is stiff and it may be stopping you from sleeping.
But don’t worry, WE CAN HELP!
You might be one of those people that hopes your Back Pain will go away by itself because you want it to (IT WON’T). Or feel that the persistent pain and stiffness means you just need to rest more (YOU DON’T). Or even not taking part in the activities that cause you pain will mean it gets better (WRONG!)
As much as you want it to, your back will not ‘magically’ cure itself. In fact, doing NOTHING means that days, weeks, months (and sometimes even years) after the pain started, nothing has changed. The pain and stiffness are still there and more than likely worse than they were before.
Back Pain affects your normal movement and destroys your self-confidence. You start to worry about doing things that used to be simple such as bending over, getting in or out of the car, getting off the sofa or even leaning over because you are worried about the pain that will come with doing this. You start to become OVER cautious and this leads to your back becoming stiffer and weaker and it continues like this until you get treatment.
When it comes to living with Back Pain, all of the people who come to see us want to know; “WHY IT IS HAPPENING TO ME"? And "WHY AM I STILL SUFFERING WITH PAIN AFTER PUTTING UP WITH IT FOR MONTHS (MAYBE MORE?)”
When you first injure your back, those around you are full of advice, which is usually along the lines of ‘make sure you rest’, ‘go and get some painkillers’, or even ‘just wait and see what happens’. You may follow this well-intentioned advice, but weeks and even months later, the back pain is still there and even worse than when it first started. Well-meant advice is often the worst, as rest means your spine gets weaker, more painful and stiffer, and, whilst painkillers can take away the pain, they don’t do anything to treat the root cause of your problem.
If you don’t take the RIGHT actions for your back, then the pain can persist for YEARS. Too many people tell us that it is just a fact of their life and there is nothing they can do now because of their ‘Age’. NOT TRUE! People have sacrificed their happiness and doing activities they love such as gardening, walking, playing with the children or grandchildren, playing golf or running, simply because they have allowed the pain to take over their life. We don’t accept this and we will help you take back CONTROL, to get back to doing the things you love.
Dealing with persistent Back Pain is confusing. There is so much information on the internet about Back Pain and what to do to treat it. Unfortunately, a lot of this information is not understandable to the people that read it, and they end up not knowing which bits to believe. Maybe they search for exercises on the internet. But there are many conditions that could come under ‘Back Pain’, so doing the wrong exercises will make your pain worse. Well-intentioned people give you advice that is not based on medical fact nor on a proper inspection of your issue. You may think that your back pain may have come on because you overreached, sat or slept awkwardly, but this is rarely the case. Poor posture and years of bad habits could have made your back muscles weaker and the pain from lifting or the awkward sleeping position was just the EFFECT of that.
If it is, then you are not alone. Sadly, we hear this all too often from the people that come to visit us at Relive Physiotherapy Clinic for their back pain. They tell us:
I thought the pain would go away by itself (but it didn’t).I was told by somebody close to me that everybody my ‘AGE’ has to put up with it (they don’t).I went to see my GP and he advised me to rest and take painkillers (but the pills did nothing and as soon as they wore off, the back pain was back).I tried doing some exercises from the internet, but they made no difference (because they were either the wrong ones, or they weren’t explained properly).I went for a few massages, as I hoped that it would fix the pain (it was nice and relaxing at first, but the pain stayed).I have tried other healthcare professionals in the past (but nothing they did or said helped as I still have the same problem).It’s great that you have tried all of these things as it means we are CLOSER to finding what will work for YOU.

Have you struggled to get up off the sofa after resting for a bit because your back is stiff, painful and tight? Imagine doing that now after a prolonged period of rest! When you have back pain, rest is not always the best option. It makes your joints stiffen up and the muscles weaker and tighter. The best way to get you better is a combination of hands-on Physiotherapy treatment and targeted exercises. By doing this, we can get you active and pain-free quicker.
Doing the right exercises is an excellent way of getting your back pain under control. Unfortunately, you won’t find them on the internet, as they are most probably not the right ones that suit YOUR back pain. There are so many different types of back pain and so many types of exercises. Doing the wrong ones can actually make your back pain WORSE.
Doing all of the above is a great start, but nothing beats the authentic ‘hands-on’ Physiotherapy that you get as standard for your Back Pain at Relive Physiotherapy Clinic in Chester. Back Pain is the most common injury that we see, so you can be reassured that you are in good hands!
