Beating Back Pain
A person's quality of life can be severely impacted by chronic back pain. Unfortunately, there is no way to just ignore that part of your body and get on with the rest of your day. You might feel like your life now revolves around your lingering back pain. Good luck getting what you set out to do with nagging back pain following behind you every step of the way. And dealing with the specter of constant pain can be tremendously draining to a person. Unresolved back pain, over time, might even lead to unenviable mental problems; perpetually dealing with chronic pain could bring on helplessness, fatigue, loneliness, and even depression.
Back pain is a occurrence for many, many people. As many as 31 million Americans have reported dealing with lower back pain at some point, and of all working Americans, half claimed to having some kind of recent back pain symptoms. Back pain is a frequent excuse given for needing to miss work. In America, people see a doctor for back pain more than any other disease or ailment, besides upper respiratory infections. Back pain can originate from any number of causes, but most non-organic, or mechanical. So the majority of most people's back pain problems don't come from serious inherent medical conditions like arthritis, cancer, or an infection or fracture.
Back pain can occur from various injuries; an injury suffered while playing sports, doing manual labor, or even just bending over. Most likely though, a person's back pain just comes from the constant physical burden put on our bodies on a daily basis. This makes sense, considering an estimated 80% of the US population is expected to endure a back issue at least once. Americans spend a combined $50 billion dollars annually on treating back pain; and the figures only include the costs most easily identified.
People's lifestyles are just a much of a factor as anything in them developing back pain; that means knowledge and prevention could make a difference. Just utilizing proper posture can make a big difference in preventing back pain. Using proper posture throughout our daily lives can prevent the need for costly treatments or comprehensive rehabilitation and exercise later in life.
It's no secret that many people live a sedentary lifestyle, spending the majority of their days seated at a desk or a computer. This lifestyle can bring on a whole host of problems; prolonged time spend just seated at a computer can bring on muscle soreness due to inactivity, or even worse, a permanent bend in someone's spine. This all can lead to back problems later in life. Be sure to make a habit out of regular stretching and using back supports.
