Almost
everyone gets back pain at some time. A survey carried out in 2004 found that
at any one time in the UK, 33% of the population are suffering with back pain
and up to 80% of the adult population will suffer significant back pain at some
time in their life.
Staying
active, with the help of chiropractic, may well be the best solution.
Repeating daily activities such as bending, lifting and twisting may cause your
back problems. Chiropractors can advise you on ways to tackle these
everyday movements, as well as being able to help you if you have an injury due
to a car accident, fall, sporting injury or lifting heavy weights.
Poor
posture may also lead to back pain. A chiropractor may advise you to make
postural changes if you, for example, spend long periods of time sitting at a
desk or computer, watching TV or driving.
