Many patients expect an MRI, X-ray, or CT scan to reveal the exact cause of back pain. However, medical imaging often does not tell the full story. Studies show that structural changes in the spine, such as disc degeneration or bulging, are common even in people without any pain. This can be confusing for patients and may lead to unnecessary worry or treatment.

Understanding why imaging may not explain back pain is key to managing symptoms effectively and focusing on movement-based recovery rather than just images.

Many people with back pain notice a confusing pattern. Movement seems to ease discomfort, while resting or sitting for long periods makes stiffness and pain worse. This experience is extremely common and often misunderstood. Back pain is not always a sign of damage. In many cases, it reflects how the spine, muscles, joints, and nervous system respond to inactivity versus motion.

Understanding why movement helps can empower you to manage symptoms more effectively and prevent recurring back issues.

Every January, motivation is high. Gyms fill up, routines change, and many people commit to ambitious health resolutions. Yet research consistently shows that most New Year resolutions are abandoned within the first few months.

Failure is not a lack of willpower. It is usually the result of unrealistic expectations, poor planning, and goals that do not match how the body adapts to change. Understanding why resolutions fail helps create a better strategy that actually works.

A really common thing we hear from patients is they have been told they have bone on bone and they need surgery for that pain. Research shows majority of individuals from 65-80 years old have been bone on bone for a long time with no pain. If everything is aligned properly in your knee you will have joint fluid in the knee that helps with the lubrication. If you stop moving a lot of that lubricant dry up and lead to surgery and limited motion.

Regular physical activity improves physical function, reduces pain, and supports mental well being. The World Health Organization reports that consistent movement lowers the risk of heart disease, diabetes, certain cancers, anxiety, and depression while improving strength, balance, and overall quality of life.
