That’s why back pain or injuries can be some of the most devastating—and that’s all the more reason to regularly check your back health. When your back isn’t functioning at full capacity, your life can be put on hold. Walking and everyday activities become tiresome. The weekend hobbies you enjoy or your nightly after-dinner walks could become impossible. Furthermore, your painmay be a symptomof something life-threatening. We often associate heart attacks or diseases with chest or armpain, but according to the American Heart Association, back pain can also be a symptomof serious heart issues, such as aneurysms, angina, or irregular heartbeats. When you let your back health go untreated or unmonitored, you ignore a major part of your health.
