The Truth About Back Pain

There are many different reasons that people have back pain but the most usual reason is poor posture.
If a person constantly sits or stands incorrectly, a sore back is often the outcome.
We were often told by our parents to "sit or stand up straight" as children and they were correct. For a person that has had poor posture their entire lives, eventually their joints damage and start wearing out.
Unfortunately, the back pain caused by this is as severe as a person that had an accident.
There are other causes of back pain and understanding them helps us to avoid or deal with back pain.

If your back pain is persistent then it is time to see a doctor.
The doctor will be able to run tests to find out why you are in pain and the different treatments available to bring you relief from this pain. Usually for less severe back problems, within two weeks of starting treatment, there will be relief from the pain.
