BACK PAIN

Back pain is a very common issue, with 80% of adults reporting back pain in some point of their life. Unfortunately it can easily become chronic. Lower back pain (felt on spine, from neck down to hips) is very common. Back problems are noticeable in very different ways: from dull pain to cramps in the lower back to sharp pain. As with other pain, it is also possible to avoid back problems with an improved lifestyle.23,24

WHAT CAUSES BACK PAIN?

  • Bending too quickly or picking up something heavy
  • Sprain in the ligament or muscle strain
  • Ruptured disc or slipped disc
  • Joint swelling and even psychological stress
  • Bad posture and lack of exercise
  • Smoking and obesity

HOW TO PREVENT BACK PAIN?
Some easy ways to prevent back pain are:24

  • Always maintain a good posture and keep regularly used objects close to you
  • Avoid twisting while lifting heavy objects
  • Wear comfortable shoes and don’t sleep on one side or on uneven surfaces
  • Exercise regularly and control your weight

TREATMENTS THAT ARE NOT RECOMMENDED24

  • Traction - the use of weights, ropes and pulleys to apply force to the tissues around the spine.
  • Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) - where a machine is used to deliver small electrical pulses to your back through electrodes attached to your skin.
  • Interferential therapy (IFT) - where a device is used to pass an electrical current through your back to try to accelerate healing.
  • Percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation - electrical pulses are passed along needles inserted near the nerve.

WHEN SHOULD YOU SEE AN EXPERT?
If the symptoms do not improve or last longer than three days, consult your physician.
