85% will Experience Back Pain
Seventy-five to 85% of American will experience back pain at some point in their lifetimes. Common causes of back pain include:
- Poor Posture
- Excessive Sitting
- Inactivity
- Internal Disease
- Obesity
- Psychological/ Emotional stress
- Osteoporosis
Back pain is now one of the primary reasons many Americans have become addicted to pain killers. Pharmaceutical drugs now rank second in accidental deaths in the United States; more than 700,000 people visit emergency rooms each year as a result of adverse drug reactions. Drugs that are properly prescribed and administered kill 106,000 people each year, making prescription drugs the fourth-leading cause of death in the US. The reason behind is many people believe it is easier to treat the pain with medication, instead of treating the cause of the pain. When taking medication this you run the risk of not only side effects, but also you are not treating the underlying condition. When the condition persists for years it leads to degeneration and decay of the bone of the spine and the discs.
One of the best options to treat low back pain is to go see a licensed chiropractor for an evaluation to discover the cause of your back pain. Once a chiropractor has located the cause of your pain they are able to decipher if they are able to help you, or refer you out to another provider that can.
Even if you are not experiencing back currently, you should go see your Tempe Chiropractor for a spinal check to prevent future back pain. If you are among the 85% who are experiencing back pain the decision should be easy. Contact us today.
