BACK PAIN CURES: MYTH OR REALITY?
Applying WD40, drinking your own urine and hanging off a doorframe are just some of the strange ‘cures’ back
pain sufferers have
tried, according to members of the British Chiropractic Association (BCA).
The anecdotes, which also include patients rolling over sofa arms and believing their pain is worse when there’s a full moon, was revealed as part of a campaign by the BCA to de- bunk myths about the causes and cures for back pain. Did you know that simply keeping well hydrated
can help prevent back pain?
Common myths • Always rest a bad back: Actually, moderate exercise is essential to build and maintain strength and flexibility in the spine, in turn improving posture. • Back or neck pain is simply part of the ageing process: While ageing can have an impact on your back health, back or neck pain can occur at any age. • Back or neck pain is not common: Back and neck pain is very common, and statistics have shown that 80% of people will experience back pain at some point in their lives. • The spine can be injured easily: The spine is actually one of the strongest parts of your body and is designed to be strong.
• Pain killers can cure back pain: Even though painkillers can be helpful, some sort of mechanical, hands on treatment involving movement/ exercise is more likely to help manage the problem and reduce recurrence.
