Understanding The Difference Between Back Pain And Sciatica Being educated about your back pain can help you make the right choices to overcome it as quickly as possible. One of the biggest problems with back pain is that it persists. One day it is here; the next day, it is gone. Not understanding why it comes or how to make it go away will lead many people to deal with back pain for years on end without seeking help. Back pain is pain that is felt in the lower back and buttocks. Typically, back pain develops as a result of strain or sprain, prolonged postures, or sometimes for no apparent reason.
As many as 80 percent of adults in the United States struggle with back pain at some point in their lives. Back pain can start for a variety of reasons. Being in a car accident, bending to pick something off the ground after a long car ride, and for some, just waking up in the morning seems to be the cause. Unfortunately, up to 90% of low back pain diagnoses are non- specific. This means that not only do people suffer from back pain, but the exact cause may be difficult to identify. Confusion about the source of pain is complicated enough, but some of the confusion is in the diagnosis terminology. To clarify what you need to do to alleviate your pain, your physical therapist can categorize your pain, so you understand what is happening and, more importantly, what to do about it!
