Let's #TalkTurkeyAboutLowBackPain! As Thanksgiving approaches, we want to spark meaningful discussions about #LowBackPain. We've created a campaign for you to share about #LowBackPainRealities. Repost our content or find more info + downloadable assets at bit.ly/lbprealitiesdp.

Let's #TalkTurkeyAboutLowBackPain! A common belief is that #LowBackPain is caused by arthritis, bad posture, or weak core muscles. In fact, it’s usually more complicated than that. Stress, feeling lonely, worry, or not moving enough can also play a big role. #LowBackPainRealities

Let's #TalkTurkeyAboutLowBackPain! Rx Meds are not always the best treatment for #LowBackPain. Experts agree that non-drug strategies should be tried first. Heat, acupuncture, exercise, PT, spinal manipulation, massage, or a combo of modalities may help. #LowBackPainRealities

Let's #TalkTurkeyAboutLowBackPain! Many people w/#LowBackPain believe they need an MRI or x-ray. But unless you’ve had an accident, are experiencing worsening leg weakness, or your pain isn’t improving after 4-6 weeks, imaging is usually not necessary. #LowBackPainRealities

Let's #TalkTurkeyAboutLowBackPain! Rest may help for a day or two but sometimes it can lead to stiffer joints & weaker muscles. Gentle movement can help manage #LowBackPain. Stay active through daily activities, walking, or light exercise. #LowBackPainRealities #ChronicPain

Let's #TalkTurkeyAboutLowBackPain! Steroid injections don’t address underlying causes of #LowBackPain. However, they may be able to temporarily reduce your pain, making it easier to engage in active treatments that support long-term recovery. #LowBackPainRealities

Let's #TalkTurkeyAboutLowBackPain! A common belief is that surgery is the best fix for back pain. In reality, most #LowBackPain improves with non-surgical approaches. Please keep mind that some symptoms do require that you talk to your doctor. #LowBackPainRealities

Let's #TalkTurkeyAboutLowBackPain! You may think that once #LowBackPain starts, it will never improve. Try something new like acupuncture, spinal manipulation, or physical therapy to see if it will decrease pain. Often new pain improves after a few weeks. #LowBackPainRealities

Let's #TalkTurkeyAboutLowBackPain! One common belief is that there is one “right” way to fix #LowBackPain. In reality, effective treatment often requires combining various strategies. Finding the right multimodal approach for you can make a real difference. #LowBackPainRealities

Let's #TalkTurkeyAboutLowBackPain! MDs aren't the only ones who treat #LowBackPain. Nurses, PTs, chiropractors, OTs, acupuncturists, health coaches, massage & yoga therapists can help with effective relief. #LowBackPainRealities

Let's #TalkTurkeyAboutLowBackPain! Some people think that life won’t be enjoyable w/chronic #LowBackPain. Focus on #WholeHealth - mind, body & spirit. Identify personal goals - getting back to work or walking through a store. All progress is good progress! #LowBackPainRealities
