Over 70% of people will experience low back pain at some point in their life. It presents as anything from mild pain and tightness to completely thrown out and its causes can be simple or serious. The low back is an exceptionally complicated region of the body and despite containing the 5 largest vertebrae of the spine, the low back is still quite susceptible to injury. Similar to injuries in other areas, back pain can develop rapidly after a fall, quick twist or strenuous lift or develop slowly after many years.
The most important component of self-care is recognizing that self-care may not be adequate. If you are uncertain or concerned about your low back consult with your family doctor or visit Denain Milwid, your local Campbell River Chiropractor. If your back pain does not improve with self-care this should be a strong indication to visit your primary care provider.
