If you've ever groaned, "Oh, my aching back!", you are not alone. Back pain is one of the most common medical problems, affecting 8 out of 10 people at some point during their lives.
Back pain can range from dull, constant ache to a sudden, sharp pain. Acute back pain comes on suddenly and usually lasts a few days to a few weeks. Back pain is called chronic if it lasts more than three months.
If your back pain is servere or doesn't improve after three days you should call your local community chiropractor. Inactivity and medication don't often solve the problem and can often makes things worse. Having the source of the problem discovered and created naturally can provide long lasting results.
