Back pain affects just about everyone at some time during life. Approximately 80% of adults report one or more episodes of back pain, which is a common cause of job-related disability. One recent survey found that more than one-fourth of adults had low back pain during the three months before responding to the questionnaire.
Men and women are both affected by back pain, which can be mild and dull or severe and sharp. The National Institute of Health reports that low back pain is the most type of pain, affecting 27% of survey respondents, and neck pain affected around 15% of those surveyed.
Adults with back pain often have other physical and mental conditions. Adults reporting low back pain are three times more likely to report fair or poor health and more than four times as likely to suffer from a serious psychological disorder as people without low back pain.
• Age – Back pain usually begins between the ages of 30 and 50 years, and is more common among older adults.
• Fitness – Back pain occurs in people who are not physically fit, as weak muscle cannot properly support the spine.
• Weight – Excessive weight can put stress and strain on the structures of the back, resulting in pain.
• Heredity – Certain back conditions that cause pain are inherited, such as ankylosing spondylitis.
• Occupation – Jobs that require heavy lifting, pulling, pushing, and twisting can lead to back pain. In addition, any • job that vibrates the spine can injure the structures of the back.
Most patients with acute (short-term) back pain only suffer with discomfort for a few days or weeks. The pain usually resolves on its own or with minimal self-care measures. Acute back pain is defined as pain that lasts from 4-12 weeks. Chronic back pain is pain that persists for 12 weeks or more, even after the initial trauma, damage, or injury has been treated and resolved. Approximately 20% of people with acute back pain go on to develop the chronic form.
