Hi, this is Mike from The Mayfair Clinic, and today I want to talk to you about some of the big mistakes that patients are making when they come in see us at the clinic and this is with reference to back pain. Now before I get into the video, make sure you hit the subscribe button below, and the notification bell to stay up to date with all the latest videos.
So what mistakes are patients making, they're normally making the same ones these mistakes, crop up time and time again it's one of the big reasons why patients aren't getting better. Now, first and foremost, when you've got back pain, there are certain movements that you'll be doing that are really generally not very good for you and this involves forward bending. A lot of back pain problems are caused by this compression, it's gone through the spine resulting in an injury of some description. And one of the first things is forward bending motion. Now that can be getting out of bed and appropriately getting up and down out of chairs, patients that just leaning forwards to get out rather than keeping their spine as upright as possible. And using those leg muscles to actually drive the movement whether it's getting up out of a chair or sitting back down into one instead of tipping themselves out of the chair like so. And it's just putting more pressure on those discs. So that's number one. When you're getting up and down our chairs, don't bend forwards too much.
Next one is things like knee hugs exercises are helpful, but you need to know why you're doing a specific exercise. Now the reason things like knee hugs where you bring your knees aggressively towards your chest and sort of hold it there, sometimes more or less aggression is advised to patients. And we really don't like these exercises, mainly because as you're pulling your knees towards your chest, yes, you're opening out those little spaces in the lower back down here where the nerves come out of, yes, you're opening that space out, but you're actually putting more pressure to those discs, which in the long run is not really helping the problem it's putting more pressure on those tissues that are trying to actually bring themselves back together. And when you put that knee hug it's ripping those tissues back apart again, although temporarily it does relieve pain because it decreases the actual pressure in that region on those nerves - it's long term not a good idea. So that's really the second one.
The third one, which is a big common one is patients get their low back pain misdiagnosed as a muscle spasm. And this is just the bane of our life here in the clinic. When you have a back injury or any injury for that matter, there is always going to be a degree of protective muscle spasm occurring. But the muscle spasm itself is not the main problem. It can make things worse but it's that they're reacting to some sort of injury that's taken place. And people then go 'Oh, I've got muscle spasm down here, my low back muscles are actually tightening up around those joints, further compressing them, so I put some heat on the back'. Now we treat back problems very similar to a sprained ankle. If you sprained your ankle, injured the ligaments or soft tissues around there, what would you put on it? You put on ice - you would not put on heat. It's the same thing down here. The only difference is in the ankle, you've got the the tendons and the ligaments that you've injured which are down by the ankle and the muscles are up here out of the way.
