Back pain is one of the most common health problems in the United States. It is estimated that 50-80 percent of all adults have already suffered from the adverse symptoms associated with back pain at some time. Back pain can occur at any age in both men and women.
In any given year, it is estimated that 10 percent of Americans will experience back pain or other symptoms, such as limited mobility or stiffness.
Each year, Americans spend an estimated $24 billion on treatments for back pain. This does not include missed time from work nor the emotional costs of enduring pain and not being able to participate in daily activities. Imagine what it would be like to have problems working, golfing or enjoying playtime with children.
Back pain can be mildly uncomfortable, excruciating, or anywhere in between. Back pain can start slowly, sometimes a result of poor posture, or come on suddenly because of injury.
Back pain can last for a few short days or can linger for weeks, months and even years.
Arthritis is a common form of back pain. The earlier arthritis is diagnosed, the more preventative type steps can be taken to reduce disability in the future.
Other factors that aggravate back pain include suffering from stress, not getting enough sleep, being overweight, having poor posture or not being physically fit.
Back pain should not be considered a normal part of aging. Back Pain is a chronic condition that calls for similar lifestyle changes such as diseases like arthritis and diabetes do.
