Back pain is often brushed off as something that will resolve itself, with many attributing it to an awkward sleeping position, a muscle spasm, or a common ailment that everyone encounters at some point.
However, despite the absence of an obvious cause, the pain persists and shows no signs of improvement.
If you’re experiencing this, know that you’re not alone. Lower back pain and sciatica are among the most common complaints we receive at our clinic.
When dealing with back pain, everyone seeking our help wants answers to these questions:
"Why Me?" or "Why Am I Still Suffering from Back Pain After Enduring It for 3-6 Months? (Or Longer!)"
Can you relate to this scenario?
It’s a frequent occurrence in our clinic: patients visit the doctor and are told to rest and “try these painkillers” to see how it goes.
Unfortunately, this advice often falls short, and four weeks later, patients return because their condition hasn’t improved. To exacerbate matters, they’re often prescribed stronger medication and told to rest even more. This cycle is absurd and explains why many Americans suffer from chronic lower back pain.
Have you experienced something similar?
Why else would your back pain persist longer than it should? With so many people offering advice, it’s easy to become confused. While many mean well, much of the advice is unreliable.
Perhaps you believe your back pain stemmed from something specific, like lifting or sleeping in an awkward position. In reality, it could be the result of years of poor posture and movement, leading to weakness in your lower back muscles. Lifting or sleeping awkwardly may have simply exacerbated this underlying condition.
Dealing with back pain can be incredibly frustrating if you’re unsure of the cause, which is why many people accept it as a normal part of life. But why should back pain linger when it doesn’t have to?
Do you share this sentiment?
- You believed your back pain would resolve on its own, but it persisted.
- Visiting a doctor who advised rest and painkillers failed to alleviate your back pain. Once the medication wore off, the chronic pain returned.
- A relative or friend may have informed you that back pain is a natural part of aging, leading you to accept it as a fact of life.
- Consulting other healthcare practitioners or physical therapists in the past yielded ineffective recommendations and treatments.
- Attempting exercises from YouTube either had no effect or exacerbated your back pain.
- Assuming that resting would be beneficial, but instead, it made your back feel stiffer and tighter.
- Opting for massages in the hope of alleviating the pain, but they only provided temporary relief and failed to address the underlying issue in the long run.
If any of these situations resonate with you, we’re here to help. Our low back specialist, Clint Serafino, DPT, is available to speak with you and explore potential solutions. The fact that you’ve already tried various approaches is actually a positive because it narrows down what doesn’t work and brings you closer to discovering what does.

Clint has regularly performed dry needling on me for the last year and a half. He is by far the most skilled and knowledgeable physical therapist I have ever had! As a person who has struggled with chronic pain for 12 years now, I am not sure where I would be without him! I would highly recommend Clint to anyone in need of physical therapy no matter how difficult or complex their needs may be.
