If you're struggling with low back pain, it's time to rethink what you know. Many people believe their pain is tied to structural damage, but research shows that your beliefs and attitudes play a significant role in how you experience pain. Misconceptions can slow down recovery and lead to chronic pain that’s more about your mindset than your spine.
Key Misconceptions About Low Back Pain
1. Posture isn't the main cause
Bad posture isn't the root of your pain. In fact, flexibility and movement are much more important for relief (1). There's no clear link between how you sit and long-term back pain (2).
2. Your back is strong
It's not weaker in one position over another. Avoiding movement can actually make the pain worse. Your back is designed to move and bend (3).
3. Movement helps, not hurts
Contrary to the fear that movement will make things worse, it actually helps. Moving stimulates healing and reduces pain (4).
