🧠 10 Myths About Back Pain in Older Adults

(Based on Dr. Carlo Ammendolia, 2025 – Chiropractic & Manual Therapies)

Low back pain is one of the most common causes of disability in older adults — but much of the suffering comes from misinformation, not aging itself.

Here are 10 common myths — and the truth behind them 👇

❌ Myth 1: Back pain is just part of getting older.
✅ Fact: It’s common, but not inevitable. Staying active and fit helps prevent and manage it.

❌ Myth 2: Older adults should avoid bending, twisting, or lifting.
✅ Fact: Movement heals! Gentle, progressive motion actually strengthens the back.

❌ Myth 3: Bed rest is the best treatment.
✅ Fact: Prolonged rest delays recovery — light movement works better.

❌ Myth 4: Scans (MRI/X-rays) always show the cause.
✅ Fact: Most “abnormalities” like disc wear or arthritis are normal signs of aging and don’t always cause pain.

❌ Myth 5: Medication or surgery should come first.
✅ Fact: Conservative care like chiropractic, exercise, and education should be the first line of treatment.

❌ Myth 6: Pain means I’m damaging my back.
✅ Fact: Pain is often due to sensitivity, not injury. Gradual movement helps retrain the nervous system.

❌ Myth 7: I should stop being active to avoid flare-ups.
✅ Fact: Staying active prevents stiffness and reduces future pain.

❌ Myth 8: There’s nothing I can do — it’s my genetics or arthritis.
✅ Fact: Lifestyle, posture, and strength have a far greater impact than genetics.

❌ Myth 9: If it hurts now, it will only get worse.
✅ Fact: Most people improve with the right movement, mindset, and care — even at older age.

❌ Myth 10: Only medication can help with chronic back pain.
✅ Fact: Education, movement, and hands-on care (like chiropractic) are much more effective long term.

💬 Take-home message:
Back pain in older adults isn’t caused by age — it’s influenced by movement, mindset, and management.
Evidence shows that staying active, confident, and informed leads to faster recovery and better quality of life.

🧍‍♀️💪 Move well. Think positive. Get the right help.
