The back

The back is a complex structure comprised of muscle, bone, nerves and other soft tissues. Your back is essential to nearly every movement your body makes and because of this it is subject to a lot of "ware and tear" making it susceptible to debilitating injury.

Back pain is one of the most common healthcare complaints in the UK today and is responsible for a significant portion of absenteeism and healthcare visits. It is estimated that four out of five adults experience a degree of back pain at some point during their lives.

Causes

The most common causes of back pain include:

• Strained muscles and ligaments caused by repetitive improper lifting of heavy objects.
• Sudden awkward movements.
• Muscle spasms.
• In most cases there is an accumulation of stress over time which culminates in back pain.
• There are also a plethora of specific conditions that can result in back pain.

Treatment

Some instances of back pain can be treated at home with some careful attention; e.g. a regular schedule of hot and cold therapy and pain relievers. Short periods of bed rest are recommended but any more than a few consecutive days can be detrimental; therefore, it is important to maximise the effectiveness of your bed rest; a Tempur mattress can help.

It is important to note that if pain persists contacting your doctor or healthcare professional is advisable.

Prevention

There are some simple practical measures you can take to help prevent back problems occurring in the first place.

• Exercise; low impact, aerobic exercises that does not put undue strain on the back.
• Quit smoking.
• Maintain a healthy weight.
• Maintain good posture; standing, sitting, lifting and sleeping.
