Back Pain Denver

By Jerome J Hoffman Jr.


If you are wondering what the next major healthcare issue will be for the United States, consider Spinal Disorders that result in back pain for millions in the U.S.A.. Already, studies show that back pain is the primary reason for disability for working people up to 45 years of age, with an estimated 5 million either permanently disabled or intermittingly disabled (it is about 50/50). In addition, back pain will effect well over 65% of this country's population at some point in each person's life.

Pain in the back is the leading cause of disability in Americans under 45 years of ages. Annually 13 million people go to the doctor for chronic pain in the back. The disorder leaves 2.4 million Americans chronically disabled and yet another 2.4 million briefly handicapped.

Most Severe Back Pain can be stopped by keeping your back muscles strong and doing your part to ensure proper exercise and good mechanics (like raising hefty items in such a way that will not stress your back).

When people go to the hospital, here are some of the most common ailments that physicians/healthcare providers hear: "I have Inflammation, discomfort, and stiffness in my lower back", "I can feel the pain into my backside and legs", or "I am having a tough time standing or staying in one position for a very long time, usually needing to sit down for an extended period of time to recuperate", and lastly " I have a serious back soreness while sitting and weakness and worn out legs while walking, the only time I feel relief is in bad, laying prostrate".

Low pain in the back is often caused by and injury-- pressure from lifting, turning, or flexing. Nevertheless, in unusual cases reduced back pain can be a sign of a much more significant health condition, such as an infection, a rheumatic or arthritic disorder, or a potential cancerous growth. That is why it is SO important that if you notice any of the signs listed above, consulting a medically trained spine specialist should be top priority.

Another very common reason for back pain is the ruptured, slipped or herniated spinal disc. Each dis is meant to protect the vertebrae and is the "pillows" between the vertebrae. When the discs are damaged, it leads to problems for the whole body, including low back pain, severe pain radiating down the leg - it can cause a person to become completely demobilized.

Spine pain, if not treated and given the consideration and attention it is due, could end up being the most common ailment of our time as we get older and continue to eat, eat, eat, putting further stress/strain on our joints. Obese people are one of the highest risk demo's, with people who smoke close behind. We can certainly do something to minimize the risk from that if we are aware of what is at stake.
