Why So Many People Have Back Pain

December 2, 2008 by soreback 

Have you ever been in the situation where you had to tell someone that you just couldn’t do something – help them move their furniture, do the landscaping work in the yard – because you’re back was in so much pain? How many times have you heard other people say the same thing about their own back?

Maybe you don’t see it as much of a loss if you can’t help someone move or can’t address certain mundane chores because of back pain, but of course for many who have chronic and consistent soreness and stiffness in their back, they often miss out on picking up their own children, being able to walk or drive long distances, and may find that it even interferes with just sitting still and enjoying a movie or some television.

And of course over and above all the things you cannot do because of a problematic back, the pain itself can often be unbearable!

Many people have problems with their back and this may be a reason why some who have never experienced this chronic pain may dismiss it as being just an excuse or being overrated. Since the back can hurt without there actually having been an injury or disease, they may assume that people are just making up their pain or that it’s not as bad as they say.

For those who do have problems with their back they of course beg to disagree. When your back is in pain, especially when the pain is severe, your entire body can hurt right along with it. Movement and mobility are limited, and even sitting still can become a problem! The pain may be constant and may seem to never go away no matter what your position or activity.

Why does the back react this way? Why are there so many problems with the back and what causes them? Why is this pain connected to everything else you do and every movement you make?

Let’s take a closer look at what we mean by “the back” and learn a bit about the muscles and other specifics of this area, and we can then better understand how back problems affect so many.
