The Two Leading Causes Of Back Pain & What To Do With Them

One of the most common chronic complaints which many people suffer from today is pain of the joints or the back. A lot of this can be caused by work or not getting enough of certain kinds of exercise. The fact is that people simply don’t necessarily have time to treat their own pain. They’ll just keep plodding along until the pain seems normal. This can lead to more severe and even permanent damage to the back. For this reason we at Yourwellness have put together some information on the two most common complaints and the solution to these issues:

–       Neck and Back Pain

Generally caused by long periods of inaction, sitting down or a general lack of exercise. People who spend most of their time working at a desk commonly suffer from this condition and as such it’s become much more common in general within the last decade or two.
If this sort of pain persists for a long period of time then you should go and seek medical advice from your GP. There’s a whole host of different things which they can prescribe to help you deal with your pain and cure the condition on the whole. These may include physiotherapy, medications, exercise or even surgery in extreme cases. The earlier you get this seen to the less damage it will do you in the long run.

–       Scoliosis

An abnormal curvature of the spine, scoliosis comes in many different varieties and is caused by many different things. Women are the most susceptible to this condition, especially if it runs in the family. This is generally treated through steady monitoring by a physician and then the use of a back brace to help to straighten your spine out again. In extreme cases surgery may be required to ease the strain on your back.
