Back pain is normally categorised in two ways, either acute back pain or chronic back pain. Acute back pain is defined as persistent pain lasting up to six weeks. Chronic back pain is less common than acute back pain and last’s for periods of longer than six weeks.
There are many causes of back pain but sometimes it can be difficult to identify the root of the pain. Some considerations when you are trying to discover the cause of your pain are
- How long has the pain been apparent?
- Is the pain localised?
- Does the pain cause a limit to your range of movement?
- Have you over exerted yourself in any way recently?
- What pain relief have you tried so far?
All of the above are good starting points to help you get an idea of what could be causing you pain, and once you have discovered what you suspect the pain is you can then find the most appropriate and effective way for long term pain relief.
