BACK PAIN AND ITS CHRONICITY
In low back pain, research has shown that the amount of disc and nerve damage rarely relates to the amount of pain experienced. Many changes in tissues are just a normal part of being alive and don’t have to hurt. What’s more, these changes don’t necessarily have to stop anyone leading a very functional and active life. Therefore, if there is no pain it means that these changes in tissues are not perceived by your brain to be a threat.
What does back pain mean for the world population?
Low back pain is known to be a serious problem in public health worldwide. Getting to discover and diagnose the actual injury trigger is a challenge for healthcare professionals with the aim of offering the best treatment to patients suffering from specific or non-specific low back pain.
