Why is it so prevalent? And what can you do to alleviate it?\u00a0 Let\u2019s look at the current research.<\/p>\n<h2>Experts believe that most factors leading to chronic low-back pain are preventable and lifestyle-related.<\/h2>\n<p>Back pain\u00a0symptoms include dull, throbbing, achy, and\/or stiff pain anywhere in the spine, but usually in the lower back.\u00a0 If the underlying cause of your back pain \u2014 such as disc herniation, disc bulge, or spinal stenosis \u2014 involves compression of a nerve as it leaves the spinal column, then additional symptoms in the leg or arm can develop, too, including weakness, numbness, pain, and tingling.<\/p>\n<p>No matter your back diagnosis, here are the top risk factors for developing it.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Men between the ages 50 and 60 are especially at risk from an increasing age<\/li>\n<li>Genetics<\/li>\n<li>Fitness level (you guessed it \u2014 less physically fit people and \u201cweekend warriors\u201d Are more likely to experience back pain).<\/li>\n<li>Weight gain<\/li>\n<li>Factors such as heavy lifting, pulling, pulling, pushing, or sitting are all occupational factors.<\/li>\n<li>Depression, stress, anxiety and anxiety<\/li>\n<li>Smoking<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As for kids, heavy and improperly carried backpacks are the\u00a0leading culprit.<\/p>\n<p>Notice that all of these risk factors, except the first two, can be modified.\u00a0 It is possible to keep your spine healthy.<\/p>\n<h2>When It Comes to Low Back Pain, Conventional Medicine Often Falls Short \u2014 Here\u2019s What the Research Recommends Instead<\/h2>\n<p>It didn\u2019t surprise anyone when a new study in the\u00a0<em>British Journal of Sports Medicine<\/em>\u00a0The risk of developing severe COVID-19 was linked to physical inactivity.\u00a0 But what if your back hurts so badly that you are unable to stand for more than 5-10 minutes?<\/p>\n<p>Many people mistakenly believe that if they suffer from chronic low back pain, the only way to get better is to go under the knife or to the pharmacy every day.\u00a0 The problem is, these conventional approaches to chronic back pain aren\u2019t always as effective as one would hope.<\/p>\n<p>This is an example:<\/p>\n<p>Recent reviews, including one from 2016 in the\u00a0<em>Journal of Pain Research<\/em>\u00a0A 2018 Review<em>\u00a0The Asian Spine Journal\u00a0<\/em>conclude that spinal surgery \u2014 including discectomies, decompression, and fusions \u2014 sometimes \u201cfails to provide relief or provides only temporary relief of the patient\u2019s pain.\u201d\u00a0 In fact, this is so common that it\u2019s earned its own clinically recognized name: failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS).<\/p>\n<p>According to some data, nearly 1 in 3 spinal surgery patients have the same amount of pain \u2014 or even worse pain \u2014 12 months after lumbar surgery.\u00a0 About 50 percent of spinal surgery patients experience pain after lumbar surgery. \u201csuccess rate,\u201d Revision surgeries are even more problematic.\u00a0 A mere 30%, 15% and 5% respectively of patients who have undergone second, third or fourth surgeries have experienced success. \u201csuccessful\u201d outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>And while medications may be helpful in some cases \u2014 especially in acute back pain or back pain related to cancer \u2014 the risks of long-term use of medication often outweigh the potential benefits.\u00a0 According to the American Physical Therapy Association (APA), non-drug treatments are recommended as the first line for chronic pain conditions like backache by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.<\/p>\n<p>How can you create a drug-free, surgical-free solution to your back pain?\u00a0 These are the top recommendations based on research for treating and preventing this common condition.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Weight loss<\/li>\n<li>Exercise (including aerobic, resistance and aquatic activities).<\/li>\n<li>Physical therapy<\/li>\n<li>Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and pain education<\/li>\n<li>Alternative therapies, and especially acupuncture \u2014 which is proven to be at least \u201cmoderately\u201d Effective for chronic low back pain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When you have back pain that is chronic, the first thing you should do is to get help.\u00a0\u00a0<em>Keep active.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>Bedrest \u201cis not recommended,\u201d According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.<\/p>\n<p><em>Republished in\u00a0<a
