Back & Neck Pain Overview
What is Back Pain?
Are you experiencing mild, moderate, or severe back pain? Don’t panic, because you are not alone, and there are answers for your questions. Back pain is experienced by millions of people annually, and it is caused by a wide range of different reasons. Many people think it is simply caused by old age or a weakening body, but, in reality, those are only a fraction of the amount of issues that cause back pain. Yes, your body does degenerate with age. But the back pain you are feeling isn’t your entire back decomposing or breaking down like some have you to believe. There are so many different parts, mobile and immobile, that keep the body working in comfort, absent pain or weakness. From nerves to discs to vertebrae, each section of your back could be caused by a wide variety of underlying issues.
With some people, back problem are hereditary or they are born with it. With others, these pains come from activities and strenuous actions that a person chooses to make, ultimately risking their body and having to deal with such issues. Professional athletes are among the highest risk considering their profession. Professional football players get paid to hit, fall, dive, and beat their bodies up. They do it for their love of the game, which is completely understandable. At the same time, you have to be aware of what you are doing to your body and what effects it will have long term. These strenuous activities pressure certain parts of the body, and with the back being one of the largest, most prominent sections on the human body, it can typically undergo stress, pressure, and injury more often than other areas.
What’s Causing It?
There are multiple different issues that can cause back pain:
