Are you experiencing lower back pain but don’t know what’s causing it? Sometimes, rest can do the trick or pain medicine can temporarily provide relief, but unfortunately, the pain keeps coming back and is worsening.
You may be experiencing stiffness in your back and neck and think it’s from how you slept the night before, so you neglect it. However, it becomes frequent and gets more painful. Yes, the pain you feel along the spine area is a result of everyday wear and tear.
Low back pain is one of the most common health conditions which will be experienced by the majority of adults at some point in their life. Usually, back pain will have an acute onset and can be treated conservatively at home. However, persistent back pain for over 6 weeks is considered chronic low back pain and may not be as easily treated at home.
Back pain is something that many do not take seriously, thinking that it is just normal because they are tired and stressed. Getting an ample amount of rest, doing basic stretching, getting a relaxing massage or even taking a pain reliever can provide a quick solution to back pain but none of them really resolve the root cause of the problem.
When the pain is recurring and is affecting your daily life, then it’s time to have it checked by a medical specialist.
