What is Back Pain

Back pain ranks second only to headaches as the most frequent pain location.
Four out of five adults will experience at least one bout of back pain at some time in their life.
Back pain can occur for no apparent reason and at any point on your spine.

The most common site for pain is your lower back because it bears the most weight and stress.
Although back pain is common, it's also quite possible for you to prevent most back problems with simple steps such as exercise and adopting new ways to sit and stand.

Even if you've injured your back before, you can learn techniques to help avoid recurrent injuries.
Limited rest combined with appropriate exercise and education is often the best course.
Acute back pain often goes away by itself in a few days or weeks.
An ice bag or hot water bottle applied to the back may also help to alleviate pain. Prolonged bed rest is not beneficial because it weakens muscles.

Exercising with Back Pain
Recommendations for preventing initial and recurring episodes of back pain include:

  • regular exercise stretching before participation in sporting activities
  • losing weight maintaining correct posture
  • using comfortable, supportive seats while driving
  • sleeping on the side with knees drawn up or on the back with a pillow under bent knees
  • Want to lead a more active life? Melittin, a powerful active ingredient in bee venom supplements may help ease you into renewed mobility without the unpleasantness of being stung by bees. Here's what a regular customer says:
