Low pain in the back is absolutely an epidemic type problem in the United States. Research shows that close to 85% of the adult U.S. populace has some type of back issue at some point in their lives and with the US population continues to age, that number is expected to increase, resulting in an inordinate amount of this country's resources to support it., Back pain is the 2nd highest reason that people go to their doctor or a hospital in the United States. Incredible numbers, and , once again, the numbers should continue to staggering levels
When we look at the numbers for disability for working-age persons, back pain is the leading cause for disability in this country for people under 45 years old. There is a total of 4.8 million people either constantly disabled or intermittently disabled at any time in this country. In fact, over 134 million people go to the hospital each year complaining of some type of back issue that drove them there.
Most Chronic Back Pain can be stopped by keeping your back muscles sturdy and seeing to it that you do simple things, like lifting a bag of groceries or a baby, by bending your knees and never bending at the waist. Also, not putting too much stress/strain on the back while excercising is key - if you are feeling an ache, time to take it down a level.
Indications and Signs Signs of low back pain may consist of: * Inflammation, discomfort, and stiffness in the lesser back. * Pain that spreads out into the buttocks or legs. * Having a tough time standing or standing in one position for a very long time. * Soreness while sitting. * Weaker, exhausted legs while strolling.
Low pain in the back is often caused by and injury-- pressure from lifting, turning, or flexing. Nevertheless, in unusual cases reduced back pain can be a sign of a much more significant health condition, such as an infection, a rheumatic or arthritic disorder, or a potential cancerous growth. That is why it is SO important that if you notice any of the signs listed above, consulting a medically trained spine specialist should be top priority.
Another very common reason for back pain is the ruptured, slipped or herniated spinal disc. Each dis is meant to protect the vertebrae and is the "pillows" between the vertebrae. When the discs are damaged, it leads to problems for the whole body, including low back pain, severe pain radiating down the leg - it can cause a person to become completely demobilized.
The risks associated with each of these conditions - old age, smoking cigarettes, being morbidly obese, being female (unfortunately), experiencing anxiety or depression, and either doing physical work or sedentary jobs (sitting at a desk ALL day long) - are numerous, especially when it comes to your back health. Nothing we can do about growing older or being female, but the rest can be managed and reduce our risk of a spinal disorder.
