Back Pain

Back pain is one of the most common types of chronic pain that Americans are afflicted with. In fact, back pain is only second to the common cold in reasons why adult Americans visit the doctor. Back pain can be chronic, meaning long-term, or acute, meaning short-term. Acute back pain can usually be mitigated through conservative measures, such as hot or cold compresses, rest, massage therapy, or over-the-counter pain relievers.
