Another
specific area for injury prevention is back pain. According to the American
Chiropractic Association (ACA), 4 out of 5 Americans will experience
back pain at some time in their lives. Back pain is said to be second only to
upper respiratory infections as the most common reason for doctor visits,
costing Americans at least $50 billion each year. With statistics like that,
the chances are good that all of us will experience back pain at some point, if
we haven't already.
Although
there are many causes of back pain, including sprains, strains, ruptured disks
and inflammation, muscle weakness is a big contributor to most back pain. Therefore,
many cases of back pain can be prevented or greatly minimized if time is taken
to stretch and strengthen weak back muscles.
If
you would like more information on how to accomplish this, come and talk to
Arik or I or visit a Core I class!
