Back pain is one of the most common non-life-threatening painful conditions, affecting four in five Americans at some point in their lives. Chances are you're one of them. Those who suffer from back pain have to be wary of return bouts. But the good news is that back pain need not govern how you live your life.
Because back pain affects the lives of so many people, the experts at Harvard Medical School have created Low Back Pain: Healing your aching back.Thanks to the pioneering work of back pain researchers, treatment for back pain has undergone a sea change since the 1990s. Doctors better appreciate the role of exercise in treating back problems. They also understand which conditions can be helped by surgery, and who are the best candidates for it. There are also more minimally invasive procedures that can have people back on their feet and getting on with their lives in record time.
