Back Pain is a serious problem for all of us, regardless of age, gender or physical fitness. Recent figures and surveys show that almost one fifth of the Australian community is affected by chronic pain. In older age groups the rates are even higher. Chronic pain has the potential to impact on your daily life, cause mental stress and increase your need for disability and health services. It is also the most common cause of absence in the work place. Fortunately, most episodes of back pain get better in time but some sufferers have to live with continuous pain and tenderness on a daily basis which can have a devastating affect upon their lives.
Back Pain - don't suffer in silence. Most bouts of back pain are caused either by minor injuries or strained muscles, which is often referred to as ‘simple back pain’. Stress factors are the most common way to trigger back pain, a sudden or sharp movement may cause the back muscles to induce back pain or it may be caused overtime by repetitive movements.
Back Pain (Lumbago), which is commonly known lower back, affects 7 out of 10 people at some time in their lives. Lumbago is a pain or ache, anywhere on your back, usually between the top of the legs and just beneath the rib cage.
Back pain can range from a mild twinge to shear agony. Fortunately, in most cases of simple back pain, the pain lasts from a few days and usually clears up within a few weeks. Back pain can strike at any age, however, you’re more likely to suffer from it between the ages of 35 – 55.
Your symptoms of back pain may include:
- Inflammation or swelling on the back
- Pain that travels to the chest or pain high up in your back
- Limitation in movement of the spine
- Tense spasm of the muscles

The good news for simple back pain is that there is plenty you can do to manage your condition, reduce the pain and lead a full and active life.
