Not all back pain is caused by a hernia
Although the majority of low back pain is thought to be caused by a hernia, 80-85% of the pain in the waist is caused by soft tissue injuries. The point to be considered here is to determine the source of the back pain that causes the person to complain. A significant portion of the pain caused by soft tissue strain or weakness can be relieved by strengthening the waist with exercise and ensuring proper use of the waist.
One should sleep on an orthopedic bed, not on a hard floor
One of the biggest mistakes made in lower back pain is to use the waist properly. is to lie on the ground. There is no scientific data that lying on a hard floor is good for back pain. A floor that is too hard and will put pressure on bone protrusions is not suitable for resting. Bed rest for back pain should be done on beds that are neither too hard nor too soft. The best approach is to rest in an orthopedic bed that does not disrupt the person's spinal biomechanics.
Corset may cause more harm than good
Using a corset even for the slightest pain in the waist is among the mistakes made in this regard. The use of a corset is recommended in a very limited area and for a limited time. Corset use should be kept for less than 3 weeks. Long-term use of corsets can be harmful as it weakens the muscles, the exact opposite of waist muscle strengthening programs. Even wrapping the waist with a belt can have the same negative effect as a corset.
Do not act carelessly by saying that my physical therapy sessions are over
There are many treatment options such as physical therapy, medication and surgery, especially after waist and neck pain. Acting recklessly and carelessly after treatments may cause the pain to recur. After both surgical interventions and physical therapy, patients have certain duties. Waist, abdominal and neck muscles need to be strengthened with correct exercise programs. However, it is very important for patients to change their harmful living habits. Physical activity should be included in every aspect of life.
Cold should be applied to joint pain instead of hot
Previously undiagnosed and sudden developing joint pain should be applied. The first method of choice for pain in the neck should be cold application. The source of pain in joints such as ankle sprain, elbow, wrist, shoulder and knee may be edema, tendon rupture or muscles. Applying heat to the area where the pain occurs may cause existing edema to increase. While the only side effect of cold application in joint pain is muscle spasm, hot application can cause much more serious conditions.
Do not try to get rid of the pain with a spouse or friend massage
As the first option for sudden pain in the joints. Applying massage is the wrong approach. Massage that is not performed by professional hands can further increase the damage that already exists in the tissues. What should be done during this period is to apply cold and rest the painful area with a bandage. Bandaging the painful joint will immobilize the joint and rest it, as well as controlling the expansion of existing edema.
Going to the spa may trigger your rheumatism
Patients with inflammatory joint rheumatism prefer spas to get rid of their pain. It is not correct to see spas, which can be recommended as a supportive treatment in special cases, as a one-to-one treatment method. Especially those with inflammatory joint rheumatism should not go to spas without a doctor's opinion. Due to the general effects of hot application, it can increase edema and inflammation in the joints and cause rheumatic pain to aggravate. Patients who will benefit from hot application, in-water exercises, and minerals in hot springs should be directed to these areas. Although going to spas for patients with arthritis may yield positive results, it may have negative consequences during the acute stages of arthritis. It would be right for patients to see a doctor and get expert support before going to the spa.
The belief that calcium increases calcification is wrong
There is a wrong belief in the society that using calcium increases calcification. Patients do not particularly want to use calcium vitamins because radiological images show an appearance similar to the accumulation of calcium crystals in the joints. In arthritis (arthrosis), which is a wear disease, There is no calcium accumulation in the water. Knee, ankle and spine calcification are diseases that increase with age. Patients with osteoporosis, another disease that occurs in later ages, should especially take calcium and vitamin supplements. Patients who need to take calcium and vitamin D supplements may use arthritis as an excuse, which may lead to negative outcomes.
