MYTH-BUSTING TUESDAY: Myths about
back pain
It’s Myth
Busting Tuesday! Yay! You know what that means right? Ok the Doctors in the
studio today on Doctors orders will be helping you with the myths that you just
can’t figure out if it’s true, real fake or not.
Hi guys my
name is Vien and this is City Health Tips.
Still on
myth busting Tuesday, today its about back pain.
Reality: According to Dr. Jeremy Smith, spine surgeon with Orthopaedic Specialty Institute Medical Group of Orange County in California, he says Lying down until the pain goes away can work against you and may even slow healing. Dr. Smith further says “Bed rest is not recommended, although you should reduce normal physical activities but continue to be as active as possible. Those who stay active recover more quickly.
A study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine involving 134 workers with back pain found that those who exercised during their recovery time took 58 days to return to work, versus 87 days for those who did not.
Now fella’s n females if you do have any other myth, the doctors are in the studio for doctor’s orders coming right up after city health tips.
As regards the bonus tip from yesterday as promised to share on the myth bursting Tuesday edition of city health tips, here is the BONUS TIP OF THE 5 Daily Habits To Stop Back Pain
Sleep With a Pillow Under Your Knees
Elevating
your legs slightly relieves pressure on your back as you sleep. Sleeping on
your back puts an estimated 55 pounds of pressure on your spine. By placing a
pillow under your knees, you can cut that pressure in half.
That's all folks, fellas and females do listen in to CITY105.1FM LAGOS to City Health Tips With Vien007, 8:45 Am, Monday to Friday only on Breakfast In The City Show.
