The human back is made up of bones, ligaments, muscles, nerves and joints all of which have to work in harmony with each other to provide optimum support to the body. Back problems usually arise when one of the components (mentioned above) gets affected by movement, poor posture, obesity, conditions like arthritis or by mental stress. According to an American Physical Therapy Association survey, nearly two thirds of Americans experience low back pain and 37% of them do not seek professional help for it. That reveals a dangerous trend in people to ignore back issues as something minor and temporary, when the back is actually the part of their body that provides the most support.

It is important to keep yourself informed about the importance of a healthy back to fully understand how crucial it is to living your life to the fullest. A healthy back is composed of a properly aligned neck, chest and lower back that support your body weight and provide dynamic movement. There are elastic discs in your back that work with well-conditioned muscles to protect and support your back. All these components are affected by how conscious we are of our bodies. Incorrect posture is one of the leading causes of back pain and it affects thousands of Americans who spend most of their workday in front of a computer. In fact, 54% of Americans who experience lower back pain spend majority of their day workday sitting. Yes, just sitting can cause problems. Back pain can become chronic if it is related to something like sitting in the wrong posture everyday. Most people treat back pain with ice packs or with pain killers but that is only a temporary solution. Using temporary pain relief methods can actually worsen the problem by causing inflammation or slipped discs.

Lower back pain is the single leading cause of disability globally. Many people experience serious back issues that need invasive surgery, later in life, because they did not treat back pain properly earlier. Most lower back pain at a younger age is not serious and can be treated with appropriate physical therapy. A physical therapist can identify the source of your back problem and chart out a treatment plan. A treatment plan is customized to your lifestyle, specific back problem and fitness level of your body. This is far better than taking painkillers that can lead to side effects and sometimes, addiction that can worsen the condition. Back pain in old age is also possible to treat by physical therapy and can help reduce dependence on medication.
