Low pain in the back is known as one of the largest problems individuals have. Around 60 - 80 % of the adult UNITED STATES populace has lower pain in the back, and it is the second most common reason people go to the doctor. Low back issues affect the spine's flexibility, stability, and durability, which can trigger pain, pain, and stiffness.
If you added up all of the resources needed to support the over 12 million people that visits a doctor or hospital each year because of back pain, you'd see a staggering amount of dollars that is being committed. The issue is, frankly, that there is much we can do to avoid this pitfall.
Most Severe Back Pain can be stopped by keeping your back muscles strong and doing your part to ensure proper exercise and good mechanics (like raising hefty items in such a way that will not stress your back).
The signs/symptoms of low back pain are extensive. Once again, common sense rules the day but here are some things that you should keep in mind: 1) tenderness, discomfort, and rigidity in the lower back area is a sign of low back pain, 2) discomfort that spreads out into the butts or legs could be the result of a spinal condition that is pressing on the sciatic nerve, causing that discomfort, 3) having a difficult time standing or staying in one position for a long period of time, 4) and pain while sitting; weak and worn out legs while strolling - if you find that you are unusually worn out or have a chronic ache in your back, seeing a physician to discover if there is a larger problem would be wise.
Most health care professional will tell you that low back pain is normally induced by an injury-- there was a pressure from lifting, turning, or bending unnaturally. What most people do not recognize is that this back pain can be an indicator of a more significant and severe spine condition - like spinal stenosis or piriformis syndrome.
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.
