Living with Constant Back Pain
Back pains is the number one form of pain experienced by people in the United States. It explains 20% of all the illness and injuries in the place of work. The national institutes of health estimate that 4 out of 5 Americans will experience back pain during some point in their lives. Not a pretty image from any point of view.
The majority of back pain occurs in the lumbar area of the spine. This is where the majority of your body weight is placed on the low 5 of the 24 vertebrae (bone) which make the spine. Considering all other muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, discs, and principal nerves that are also connected to the spine, it is not any surprise that there are this many manners of wounding your back as you twist and fold them.
The pain is considered chronic if it reproduces, lasts more than three months, and can apparently be stimulated by any small movement. In the 21st century, we realize finally that drugs and surgery are not always the answer to treat chronic pain or other muscular-skeletal conditions and damage.
The future lies in an integrated approach to support the body’s own healing power by using noninvasive, safer treatments. Acupuncture, massage therapy, chiropractic and osteopathic care, and certain physical therapy exercises are some options to help with herniated disc pains.
