Back Pain Q & A
How common is back pain?
Back pain is one of the most common reasons for missing work and seeking medical treatment. It can occur in the muscles, ligaments, nerves or any of the spine’s 24 vertebrae, or the flat, round rubbery discs in between. The spine is divided into three sections: the cervical spine (neck), the upper back (thoracic spine) and the lower back (lumbar), which is the most frequent location of back pain.
What are the most common reasons for back pain?
There are extensive and eclectic causes for back pain, ranging from an abrupt injury to overuse. Several factors can increase a person’s risk for developing back pain. These include age (being over 40 years old), being overweight, being inactive, as well as, certain illness, such as arthritis.
What is the difference between acute and chronic pain?
Acute pain starts quickly and lasts less than six weeks. It is the most common type of back pain. Acute pain is generally caused by a specific incident, like falling or lifting something heavy. Chronic pain lasts for more than three months and is significantly less common than acute pain. Chronic pain may be "on" and "off" or continuous. It can also become debilitating, preventing suffers from working, socializing or physical activity.
