Back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints. It is
a significant cause of disability in the world. Oddly enough, for such a
big problem less than 20% of back pain has a specific purpose (Ehrlich
et al. 1999). Fortunately, back pain is typically a self-limiting
condition that can resolve itself with conservative management within
2-4 weeks.
That being said, can back pain turn your life upside down? ABSOLUTELY. What concerns me is how people respond to back pain. The natural response is to be less active and stay off of your feet. As a result, days become weeks. Suddenly people become socially isolated, dependent on shortcuts for symptom relief, and deconditioned. Back pain is an expected experience in life so learning how to approach it is critical.

The term “weight loss” is really about “weight management.” Read more
