Back Pains

Back pain is a very common disease that affects about 30% of the population. It is estimated that 80% of the world’s population suffers during their lifetime from back pain. Given the current Western society that we live in we find ourselves in situations where we are still working in services in offices and industries. We therefore most often find ourselves sitting in front of a computer for a long duration of time. It is very unfortunate that back pain caused by an often short or long period of sitting has become a real epidemic. There are other trades that are more harmful given the nature of the job. These trades entail, hairdressing, teaching, factory working and more. The nature of sports is also very dangerous, and sports players need to be very careful when making their movements so as not to injure themselves severely.

The rheumatological diseases are most often the first cause of a medical visit. Itis always best to go sooner rather than later to avoid the issue spreading all through the body. Former football stars are very prone to such back pains. Football players such as Kevin Sheehan may have back pains due to constant seasonal football games that leave him in a broken state.

Identifying the Issues

It is usually very difficult to recognise the main cause of back pain in an individual, especially because due to the fact that the structure of the back bones is complex. There are so many different reasons as to why an individual would have back pains poor posture could be a great reason you experience back pains as you are straining your back and not giving it the comfort required. Hernia will also cause back pains as it could be a bacteria that is well integrated into the bones.  Being overweight is also a good reason why a person would have back problems as the bones are not able to completely sustain the body fat therefore the bone to body ratio is equivalent. The disc disease is often responsible for chronic back pain, particularly affecting the lumbar region (low the main symptoms of back pain are quite obvious, especially with pains, which can occur at the upper level of the back, most of the time. The lower back (lumbar region) is often the most painful place, because it is at this level that the back has to bear the most weight. The exact diagnosis of back pain is often difficult to tell due to the complex nature of the field. Kevin is definitely fortunate not to have endured such excruciating pain.
