Beware of simple solutions for complex problems.

Low back pain (LBP) is not caused by poor posture, a weak core or weak glutes. These things can sometimes be contributing factors, but on their own cannot explain why we experience pain.

Pain is created by our central nervous system (CNS) to protect the body from perceived threats. In other words, pain is created by the brain to modify our behaviour.

Because humans are stubborn, pain needs to be severe to force us to rest. Acute LBP is often severe but rarely caused by a serious injury. This is why acute pain is so often short lived. Acute LBP outlives it’s usefulness quite quickly. LBP becomes chronic when the CNS gets stuck in that protective pain phase for far too long.

Chronic LBP is “biopsychosocial,” meaning influenced by biological, psychological and social context. There are no easy solutions. “Multimodal” (meaning multidisciplinary) care is the best way to manage chronic pain. Chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage, acupuncture, counselling, yoga and meditation should all be considered depending on patient preferences.

Chiropractors are sometimes accused of believing that posture correcting exercises will solve all your problems. We don’t believe that at all, but movement is medicine and we have to start somewhere. When a patient has acute or chronic pain, gentle posture reversing movements can be a good way to start calming the CNS.

🧠 More research is needed, but creatine could help reduce cognitive symptoms (commonly known as “brain fog”) associated with concussion, sleep deprivation, perimenopause, and possibly dementia related to Alzheimer’s disease.

Research on creatine supplementation has moved from the gym to the brain lab, leading neurologist Heidi Moawad to review the data on creatine’s potential for improving cognitive health.
