Discover and understand the top 10 causes of back pain and why intensity isn’t always a reliable indicator of severity. Learn from Dr. Boisvert, chiropractor, and help spread awareness about pain management.
Pain—it’s something nearly 100 million people across Europe and Canada live with daily. But here’s an eye-opener: the intensity of pain doesn’t always reveal how serious the condition is. Let’s dive into this essential topic, guided by Dr. Boisvert, chiropractor. 🩺
The Myth of Pain Intensity: What Matters More? 🤔
A pain rated 10/10 on the intensity scale may be less critical than one at 7/10. How is that possible? 🤷♂️ It comes down to contextual clues and red flags:
• Severe headaches, nausea, or dizziness
• Sudden incontinence or nocturnal pain 🌙
• Loss of strength, sensation, or unexplained weight loss
These symptoms often hold the real key to diagnosing a condition’s severity.
