Low Back Pain

About 80 percent of all adults will experience low back pain at some point in their lifetimes. It is the most common cause of job-related disability the second leading cause of missed work days right behind the cold. In a survey of US workers, more than a quarter of respondents reported experiencing low back pain during the past 3 months.

Men and women are equally affected by low back pain, which can range in intensity from a dull ache to a sudden, sharp shooting sensation that leaves the person virtually incapacitated. The pain can begin abruptly as a result of an accident or by lifting something, or it can develop over time due to age-related degenerative changes of the spine. A sedentary lifestyle also increase the incidence of low back pain, especially when the daily routine of sitting and getting too little exercise is interrupted by a weekend warrior workout.

Most low back pain is acute, or short term, and lasts a few weeks. The US Govt ACPR guidelines state that if your low back pain last longer than 3 days then it is recommend you see a Chiropractor. The majority of acute low back pain is mechanical in nature, meaning that there is a disruption in the way the components of the back (the spine, muscle, intervertebral discs, and nerves) fit together and move. A Chiropractor is most suited to treat this kind of problem.
