Back pain: it's a common issue that many of us face, yet it often feels like we're navigating through it without a clear map. Whether you're clocking hours behind a computer, chasing after toddlers, or pushing yourself in sports, back pain seems to find a way into our lives. Let's cut through the noise and get down to what really matters: how our everyday habits contribute to back pain and what we can do about it.
The journey towards understanding and managing back pain is complex yet filled with hope. Recognizing that over 90% of back pain cases are mechanical in nature offers hope, as they can be treated and don’t necessarily require surgical solutions. This insight aligns perfectly with Healactively’s proposition which is to empower individuals with expert support to take control of their back wellness through personalized, non-invasive solutions, backed by science and AI.
Back pain stands as a prevalent issue worldwide, often leading to significant discomfort and disability, even significant loss in quality of life. Among its classifications, 'unspecified back pain' or non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) emerges as a particularly ambiguous term. And according to the European Pain Federation at least 90% of back pain is diagnosed as ‘low back pain, unspecified’. Here we draw on insights from research conducted by the University of Zurich and published in European Journal of Pain, to shed light on what 'unspecified back pain' truly means, why the term may be misleading, and how understanding it better can enhance patient care and outcomes.
Back pain is a common ailment that affects millions of people worldwide, which doesn’t discriminate across age, profession, or lifestyle. For those on the back pain journey there is a great deal of time spent seeking relief and understanding. At Healactively, we want to help back pain sufferers by sharing what to be aware of when suffering from back pain, and how early intervention can pave the way for a healthier, more comfortable life.
