Back pain is one of the most common afflictions of all. From something as simple as too much lifting, or a case of the flu, to much deeper causes, most people experience back pain - especially lower back pain - during their lives.
As with neck pain, back pain may be the result of poor posture, physical stress, computer work, driving long distances, sitting down for too long, improper sleeping habits, even muscle tension associated with emotional stress. But other possible reasons include diseases of the organs in the chest, muscle strain, traumatic injury of the back, rheumatism, arthritis, hyperplastic spondylosis, disk herniation, spinal compression.... Medical advice is important. For instance, if caused by diseases of internal organs, back pain is merely a symptom and not the condition needing treatment. If due to stress, strain, bad posture, correcting those will help. Look at some of our products to enhance relaxation, de-stressing and general health.

WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF BACK PAIN? Most people experience some form of back pain caused by anything from muscle strains (too much lifting or improper lifting techniques) and colds, to poor posture, physical stress, computer work, driving long distances, too much sedentary work, improper sleeping habits and emotional stress. Or causes can be more intractable: traumatic injury of the back, rheumatism, arthritis, spondylosis (spinal osteoarthritis), disk herniation, spinal compression.
VARIOUS CONDITIONS AFFECTING THE BACK:
•
Minor injury to the soft tissues of the back, especially the lower back, such as muscle strain, sprains of ligaments (which attach bone to bone), joint problems.
•
A slipped disk (also called a herniated disk) where a disk between the bones of the spine bulges and presses on nerves - can be caused by lifting and twisting at the same time
•
Disc degeneration, where the disc (which acts as a shock absorber between the bones in the spine) breaks down and the space between the vertebrae narrows, causing further stress to the spine (includes osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis).
•
Conditions associated with increasing age, such as spinal stenosis.
•
Chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, or ankylosing spondylitis.

Herniated Disks -
One Cause of Pain
-
also called slipped disks, bulging disks, ruptured disks
-
Wear and tear weakens or flattens the fluid-filled pads, "discs", so they push against nerves, causing distress
-
Traction works to relieve compression of the disk, at the same time promoting more normal curvature of the spine. Symptoms are eased. The long-term aim is to provide enough relief to restore normal disk functioning.
