The biggest and most accepted myth about back pain is that it goes away without any medical treatment.  It has been said that 90% of low back pain will resolve itself within one month. A May 1998 study in the British Medical Journal showed this is indeed a myth, and completely false.  Even a decade later this myth is still being promulgated by professionals.  Patients who suffer from low back pain went to their doctor for a consultation and after 12 months were followed up with. The results are as follows:

  • 25% had no pain and no disability.
  • 25% had either pain or disability.
  • 50% had pain AND disability

The author of that study concluded:  “This takes into account two consistent observations about low back pain: first, a previous episode of low-back pain is the strongest risk factor for a new episode, and, second, by age 30 years, almost half the population will have experienced a substantial episode of low-back pain.  These figures simply do not fit with the claim that 90% of episodes of low-back pain end in complete recovery.”

This author’s conclusion based on the results show that without the proper treatment, 75% of back pain sufferers will have either pain or disability OR, pain AND disability just one year after their initial consultation with a physician if they try to allow it to go away without any medical treatment.
