Back pain is a problem that runs rampant in our society today.
According to the Mayo Clinic, 80% of Americans will suffer from back pain at least one point in their lives. With thousands of different activities we participate in and problems we encounter daily, many of these will risk damage to our back or spine.
The most common cause for back pain is a strain, which can be a muscle or ligament strain, and can result from lifting something improperly or too heavy, a muscle spasm, or an abrupt and awkward movement. Structural problems with the back or spine is also a common trigger, ranging from ruptured or bulging disks, sciatica, arthritis, osteoporosis, or abnormal curvature of the spine.
