5 Ways to Beat Lower Back Pain

Back pain in the UK is rising, the British Chiropractic Association has brought out new statistics that tell is back pain is more prevalent in the UK than ever before and certain areas around the UK are at risk of suffering. These statistics along with the Lancet report (2018) that states ÔÇÿat least everyone will experience back pain at some point in their lifeÔÇÖ as well as ÔÇÿdisability from back pain has increased 50% since 1990ÔÇÖ. All if this information has led me to write this blog to give you a couple of tips to help if you are suffering.

The NHS in 2016 spent £200 million on spinal surgery and £9 million on injections; this is a huge amount of money that could be used elsewhere on potentially life changing initiatives and research that could help a vast amount of people.

As chiropractors we see a lot of people who suffer from back pain due to inactivity, this is known to be a leading cause of many diseases such as obesity, diabetes and heart or cardiovascular disease. We take these problems seriously however we still put our back pain behind any aspect of our life due to the fact that it takes effort and time or money to solve.  Taking 10-15 minutes 3-4 times a day will dramatically reduce your likelihood of not just back pain but all of these diseases that make up metabolic disease.
