Back Pain
Back pain is so common that some experts now say that it is the norm. In other words, it is not the person with back problems who is remarkable, but the person who is entirely free of them. Indeed, 80 to 90 percent of us will suffer from back pain at least once in our lifetime: it’s the second most frequent complaint after the common cold.
Because there is no easy and absolute cure for back pain, general physicians are often at a loss to know how to deal with it. Today back pain is the most common reason for people to consult complementary practitioners.
Complementary (sometimes still wrongly called "alternative") medicine has become enormously popular over the last twenty years. About a third of Americans and a quarter of Britons have tried at least one complementary therapy during the last year.
This website will take you step by step through the jungle of back treatment options. It is a practical guide, aimed at reassuring you and helping you to cope.
We will discuss the most promising complementary therapies for back pain relief, and briefly look at relevant therapies offered by mainstream medicine. The best way of dealing with back pain is to prevent it happening in the first place. This site will provide you with useful tips about what to do and what to avoid.
Simple changes in lifestyle may go a long way to treating and helping to prevent an annoying condition that causes stress, discomfort, pain, and disability for those who are affected.
