How to prevent low back pain
According to the ACP in the Annals of Internal Medicine, the most common reason for visiting a doctor in 2016 was low back pain. It is believed that ¼ of adults in America suffered from low back pain at least once in the previous 3 months1. If you take into consideration the number of patients that visit our Orthopaedic Surgery Wellington center for this very reason every day, then this data seems accurate. Low back pain is a common condition that can be caused by many different factors, such as not getting enough exercise, or on the contrary, having too much high-intensity workouts that overburden the back.
