Back Pain – Cause and Prevention
By Obediah Marsh
Back pain is one of the leading causes of pain in the world today. It is also one of the easiest injuries to incur. The slightest little twinge can be devastating at the wrong moment. Our backs are incredibly resilient, however, just as the rest of our body is. It will heal itself in time.
The causes of back pain are impossible to list. Common causes, however, are strains, pulls, and twists. Direct injury, bone malformation, nerve compression, and many others are also common causes of back pain. Some of these causes of pain can be prevented, while others like scoliosis is often present at birth.
The best way to prevent this type of pain is to be cautious. Do not throw your body around like a puppet even when playing sports. You must realize the limitations of your body, and stay within them.
Another key to preventing back pain is to stay properly hydrated. Many muscle strains and pulls are due to our muscles or tendons being starved. Well hydrated individuals are far less likely to have any hurting in there back.
