A few interesting facts about back pain:

Low back pain is the fifth most common reason for all physician appointments in the United States.
Back pain is the most common reason for activity limitation in people younger than 45 years old.
The majority of cases of back pain are mechanical or non-organic—meaning they are not caused by serious conditions, such as inflammatory arthritis, infection, fracture or cancer.
Approximately one quarter of U.S. adults reported having low back pain for at least one whole day in the past three months, and 7.6 percent reported at least one period of severe acute low back pain within a one-year period.
Low back pain is also very expensive: approximately 5 percent of people with back pain disability account for 75 percent of the costs associated with low back pain.
One-half of all working Americans confess to having back pain symptoms every year.
around 2 percent of the U.S. work force is compensated for back injuries each year.
Americans spend at least $50 Billion per year on back pain—and that’s just for the more simple costs.

Recommendations to Help Prevent Back Pain, Backache, Lumbago, Back Trouble, Bad Back, Sciatica, Slipped Disk

Some back pain is caused by non-preventable factors (traumatic accidents, congenital defects, tumors), but most low back pain is preventable. Suggestions on how you can reduce back pain include:
• Maintain a healthy diet.
• Remain active.
• Avoid continued inactivity or bed rest.
• Warm up or stretch before exercising or other physical tasks.
• Maintain proper posture.
• Wear comfortable, low-heeled shoes.
• Sleep on a mattress of medium firmness to prevent any curve in your spine.
• Lift with your knees, keep the object close to your body, and do not twist when lifting.
• Quit smoking. Smoking impairs blood flow, resulting in oxygen and nutrient deprivation to spinal tissues.
• Have your posture professionally evaluated by your doctor of chiropractic and be sure to include a program of spinal correction and scheduled maintenance.
