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.
