The Most Common Myths About

Back Pain

You've Been Told By Doctors, Friends and Social Media That Have Led To More Pain

Speak To The #1 Back Pain Expert In Carrollton

Here are some of the most common back pain myths people who visit our Carrollton clinic have been told, which have actually hindered their progress and delayed their recovery from injury.

MYTH #1 - Herniated Disc, Bulging Disc, Or Stenosis Means Surgery Is The Only Option
A common myth I encounter in my clinic is that people believe if they are diagnosed with a herniated disc, bulging disc, or stenosis from an MRI, they have to either live with their back pain or go straight to surgery. This can be very discouraging, as many people think their condition is irreversible. The truth is these issues are manageable without surgery. Many individuals with herniated discs or bulging discs continue to lead active, pain-free lives by using non-invasive treatments like physical therapy, exercises, and manual therapies. Surgery should only be considered when other options fail, and many people successfully manage these conditions without ever needing it.
MYTH #2 - Back Pain Is A Result Of Aging
Another myth is that as you get older, back pain is simply a normal part of the aging process, and there’s nothing you can do about it except rely on medication. Many individuals believe that once they reach a certain age, chronic back pain is inevitable, and they need to rely on over-the-counter painkillers like Tylenol or Aleve to manage it. However, aging does not automatically mean you must experience back pain. While age can contribute to wear and tear on the spine, many people in the same age group do not experience significant pain. Back pain is often a result of poor posture, muscle imbalances, or lifestyle habits that can be addressed with the right treatments and exercise programs, allowing people to live pain-free without medication.
MYTH #3 - Giving Up Activities Is The Only Solution To Relieving Back Pain
Many people with back pain think that they have to give up activities they love – such as golfing, tennis, or playing with their children – because these activities might aggravate their back pain. This myth leads people to avoid physical activity altogether, which can actually make things worse in the long run. The truth is you don’t have to stop participating in your favorite sports or activities. With the right treatments and exercises, you can manage back pain while staying active. Professional athletes are a great example – when they experience injuries, they don’t give up on their sports. Instead, they rehab, get stronger, and return to the field. The same approach can be applied to anyone with back pain, and it’s possible to continue playing sports with the right guidance and rehabilitation.
MYTH #4 - Once You Have Back Pain, You’re Stuck With It
One of the most damaging myths is that once you experience back pain, it’s something you’ll have to live with forever. People often think that back pain is a permanent condition, and they have to accept it as part of their life. However, this is simply not true. Back pain can be alleviated, managed, and prevented with the right care. At our clinic, we educate patients on how to address the root cause of their pain and design personalized exercise programs to improve strength, mobility, and flexibility. Many people find relief and return to their normal activities once they understand their condition and follow the right plan for treatment. Back pain is not a life sentence – there are effective ways to overcome it and lead a pain-free life.
