Top 6 Myths About Back Pain

Myth#4: Exercises are bad for back pains
Debunking the myth
Usually people refrain from any kind of physical activity when they are suffering from back pain. But they forget that being sedentary does not alleviate their pain, rather elevates it. Regular exercises not only maintain the agility of your body but also prevent any sudden injury (as your muscles are more flexible and their endurance increases with regular exercises) or recurrence of back pain. Most doctors advise to opt for cardio therapy over drug medications. These are usually a set of exercise with increasing intensity that aim at increasing the flexibility of your back and alleviate the pain.

Myth #5: Chiropractic remedy is a hoax and chiropractors just aim at extracting more and more money.
Debunking the myth
There is a whole lot of a difference between the chiropractors and the quacks. The formers are experts in massage therapy and the latter are self proclaimed gods in their own realms. Approaching the latter certainly results in disaster. However it has now been scientifically proven that massaging your muscles increases the blood circulation, also beneath your epidermal layer and brings radiant skin glow with health. It alleviates pain by dispelling the toxins that might have accumulated and increase the efficiency of impulse transmission.

Myth#6: Inversion therapy is the best for relieving back pain.
Debunking the myth
In the first place going by what experts have to say, it is not even safe for everyone. Hanging upside down while being suspended in the air can rather prove to be disastrous for those suffering from any heart disease, high blood pressure or glaucoma. It is supposed to provide temporary relief by relieving the gravitational pressure on the nerves and spinal discs that is spinal traction. It does not have any long lasting effect and more often than ever, any aberration may prove to be fatal as it critically increases the blood pressure in the brain nerves.
