Rob Jordan Physical Therapist talks about back pain.

Back pain in the lower back or low back pain is a common concern, affecting up to 90% of Americans at some point in their lifetime. Up to 50% will have more than one episode. Low back pain is not a specific disease. Rather, it is a symptom that may occur from a variety of different processes. In up to 85% of people with low back pain, despite a thorough medical examination, no specific cause of the pain can be identified. * Low back pain is second only to the common cold as a cause of lost days at work. It is also one of the most common reasons to visit a doctor's office or a hospital's emergency department. * For 90% of people, even those with nerve root irritation, their symptoms will improve within 2 months, no matter what treatment is used-even if no treatment is given. * Doctors usually refer to back pain as acute if it has been present for less than a month and chronic if it lasts for a longer period of time

Many things can cause low back injuries--muscle strain or spasm, sprains of ligaments (which attach bone to bone), joint problems or a "slipped disk." The most common cause is using your back muscles in activities you're not used to, like lifting heavy furniture or doing yard work.

A slipped disk (also called a herniated disk) happens when a disk between the bones of the spine bulges and presses on nerves. This is often caused by twisting while lifting. But many people won't know what caused their slipped disk. In most cases, slipped disks and other back pain can be relieved by following a few simple methods.

  • This guy needs to go back to the stone age or read some current info.

  • Good stuff! Except for the fact that spines CAN go out of alignment, press on disks and cause rupture/herniation. Also, it is possible to "relocate" a disk using spinal manipulation -- however, you cannot heal a hernia this way as the nucleus of the disk is leaking outside of the disc membrane in the case of a hernia. You can't push that stuff back in.
