Back Pain: What's Normal and What's Not?

By Genevieve Cunningham

Back pain is probably one of the most common ailments from which people suffer. Though it’s relatively rare in young people, the odds of experiencing some kind of discomfort in the back seem to increase with every year that passes. But just because something is common doesn’t mean that it’s normal. And it certainly doesn’t mean that we have to expect suffering to be a regular occurrence. But how do we know the difference? When is back pain something to ignore, and when is it something to take seriously? To better understand your back pain, take a look at what’s normal, what’s not, and what to do for relief.

When You Can Relax

Have you had an exceptionally long or hard day at work? This kind of exhaustion and overuse will often lead to back pain. It’s not necessarily something to worry about, though it might be a good idea to take more breaks or readjust your working environment in order to help. This kind of pain generally comes on after being on your feet or being active for hours on end, and it may feel better as you simply rest. Though this can eventually lead to more troublesome problems, an occasional day of discomfort after excessive work is not necessarily a huge problem.

When to Worry

There are three basic situations in which it’s time to worry about back pain. Is your pain chronic? Is your pain severe? Have you been injured? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then it’s probably a good idea to get care. Anytime that pain is severe enough or ongoing enough to get in the way of life, you probably need a little help. And an injury should always be checked out. Taking care of your back is important, so don’t be afraid to seek out care any time that you feel the need.

What to Do for Better Back Health

So how do we get care for the back? It’s actually incredibly simple. One of the best ways to treat and care for the back long-term is by getting chiropractic care on a regular basis. Chiropractors may be able to remove joint restrictions from the body, which then eases pain, reduces tension, and keeps you feeling healthier overall. Adding this to your routine may reduce pain, improve movement, boost sleep and energy, and bring a wealth of good into your life. If you’re looking to keep the back healthy and strong for a lifetime, getting chiropractic care is the perfect solution.
