Most Canadians will experience back pain at some point in their lives. Left untreated, back pain can seriously impact daily living, yet almost 15 percent of Canadians report they do nothing to treat their back pain, while almost 50 percent treat the symptoms, not the causes. Take the quiz below to shed more light on the issue of avoiding back pain.
If you answered YES to four or more of the questions or YES to questions 9 or 10, you are probably avoiding dealing with back pain that is limiting your comfort and activities.
If you experience back pain that restricts your activities and lasts for more than three or four days, stop holding back and visit a professional. Current thinking suggests that an integrated approach is the best way to tackle uncomplicated back pain. A combination of specific exercise and manual therapy, together with eliminating the triggers of your pain are often successful in getting people pointed in the right direction towards a healthy back. A significant trigger, for example, is postural difficulties related to work and daily activities of living.
