Chronic back pain is difficult to live with. Our backs are key to every moment spent up-right and every task we perform, be it heavy lifting or merely sitting still. When suffering from back pain, everything we do becomes difficult at best or impossible at worst.

Did you know that back problems are one of the top 10 medical problems in the United States? It is estimated that over $50 billion a year is spent to diagnose and treat back related problems. Of course, some of these conditions are chronic stemming from degenerated diseases. However, the vast majority of these problems come from improper posture and lifting. These are preventable situations for low back pain.

If you suffer from back pain, you are not alone. As many as not 8 out 10 people suffer from some sort of back pain. You may suffer from a dull, constant ache to a sudden sharp pain. Although there is a wide spectrum of back pains, in general there are two groups: acute back pain and chronic back pain. Acute back pain is typically is a temporary condition and you may recover within a few days or even a few weeks. On the other hand, chronic back pain, lasts for longer periods of time. Unfortunately, with chronic back pain the expected healing time for the identified cause may persist even after the cause has been treated. In time you either become more accustomed to the pain or you can seek relief from the pain.

As children we have the great gift of a mobile, strong, well designed and painless spine and it is unusual for stiffness to be an issue as the lumbar spine has evolved to do the job of weight bearing and providing movement. Intervertebral discs separate the spinal vertebrae, allowing more movement in areas where they are thicker and also coping with variable loads. The posterior spinal facet joints limit and control segmental movement, preventing the spine from displacing inappropriately under the shear forces. Strong, balanced and coordinated muscle actions complete the picture.
