The challenge for someone suffering back pain is that they reasonably think the only way to treat the problem is through medication, but what we, as chiropractors and remedial massage therapists know is that - there are a number of other treatment options can be provided for back pain.
The Institute of Health & Welfare estimates around 4 million Australians (16% of the population) have back problems. It is also estimated that 70–90% of people will suffer from low back pain in some form at some point in their lives1 and pain is the main symptom in most back problems.
According to a survey conducted by Pureprofile , 6,368 musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) were reported. The dominant three MSDs impacting the lives of Australian’s were low back pain (80.6%), neck pain (67.9%) and mid back pain (66.3%).
93.2% of all workers who ‘sit AND stand’ reported a musculoskeletal condition followed by 92.7% of workers who have a job which combines sitting, standing and physical work.
Workers undertaking repetitive movements and standing for prolonged periods of time reported the highest incidences of back pain and 94.6% of casual workers reported experiencing back pain.
Back pain can stem from various factors, and understanding the underlying causes is crucial to finding effective solutions. Here are some common reasons why you might be experiencing back pain.
