Lead A Normal Life Without Back Pain!

Lead A Normal Life Without Back Pain!

One of the most important parts of the body, the spine, performs major functions like helping us walk upright, stand up, move freely, pick up things and bend. Without the spine we would not be able to move the rest of the body or control any movements. It is paramount that we keep our spine in the healthiest condition possible to prevent pain or discomfort as we go about daily activities in life.

The spine, known as the human vertebral column in medical terms, is made up of 33 vertebrae that provide the spinal canal or a hollow space where the spinal cord exists. It is the spinal cord that allows the transfer of sensory information from the brain to the body and vice versa, and controls and coordinates our reflex actions.

The vertebral column consists of bones stacked one on top of the other with cushions in between to absorb shock, stress or weight. At least 80% of people are at some point in their lives affected by back pain. Millions in America suffer from either cervical stenosis (neck pain) or lumbar stenosis (lower back pain).

Chief of Neurosurgery and Spine surgery, Dr. Anders Cohen, at the Brooklyn Hospital Center in New York states that back pain is the number one cause of lost work days in the U.S. He also says that being fit and in shape helps reduce your chances of back pain. This is because a working person may not be able to keep up the same fitness levels of the young persons, and once age catches up, the situation doesn’t seem to be favorable for your back or neck. Most people wish back pain away by taking pain killers or applying gels or creams which do work temporarily, but in the long run will cause problems or damage to the spine that will be more expensive to address.

Treating your back or spinal problems should be a number one priority for you because it is hard to lead when you suffer from back pain and problems. Simple activities like sitting in the car seat for long drive, or while riding a bicycle, walking, climbing stairs, picking up things, etc., could seem painful and stressful.
