In the UK, what is the biggest reason for sick leave? The answer is not the common cold, but the back pain. Back pain afflicts a third of British adults, the national annual cost of over five billion pounds, is known difficult to treat diseases. Back pain really is because you sit for too long, the main disc is a killer back pain? If you have back pain, really need to see a doctor? Let us together look at the "biggest reason to leave," the errors.

Back pain not work: its appearance is often a reason.
We are back from the 34 vertebrae, about 150 muscles, ligaments and spinal joints numerous, and the intensity as much as the independence of the brain nerve nervous system. It is this precise and stable instrument, has been quietly supporting us in, so that our body is maintained.

Back pain mainly by the "disc" cause?

In fact, the probability of back pain caused by disc only 5%, 95% of back pain caused by other reasons: for example, muscle weakness, ligament overwhelmed, poor links vertebrae - all the consequences of negligent exercise. The disc problem generally does not cause pain, so often when X-rays was only incidentally find out. Note that the disc problem is serious to a certain extent, the cause of nerve compression may be, causing paralysis symptoms and require immediate medical attention.

To ensure the disc status is normal, we must remain moist. In other words, we must pay attention to drink enough water every day. Only in the case of sufficient water, the disc in order to maintain flexibility, produce enough tissue fluid. We would also have plenty of exercise. Best sport in the following manner: the shoulders relaxed upright, arms straight down the bend, until your fingers touch the ground. Get up, stand on tiptoe, arms extended upward as far as possible.

Rest to relieve back pain it?

The answer is: no. On the back, the muscle and nerve is the same reason: no activities will shrink. Back if it is not exercise, deep muscle capacity will be weakened, disc not get enough support, the stability of the structure of the gradual disappearance of the back, spine loose connections, increased risk of joint degeneration. Therefore, we have activities in a natural way always back the right way to lift heavy objects. The stronger the back, the less chance something goes wrong, even in the wrong position when you occasionally.

If back pain should always see the doctor?
Medical treatment is not the first time, the necessary actions for back pain.

Remember: 80% of back pain are due to lack of exercise rather than the back due to excessive burden.

A healthy back will not hurt?
This sentence is not always right. Pain in the back of strong will. Compared with the deep muscle structures, the importance of the external muscles of the back is not so great. The former's role is to maintain balance and avoid back pain spine. Deep muscles and spine are closely attached to the body together. Fitness club equipment on them ineffective. And yoga, qigong, and tai chi classes to the east is a good treatment for deep muscle exercise. Side of stretching exercises described below can be effective in a strong deep muscles of your back: upright, feet shoulder width apart, left arm held straight up, right arm close to the body, slow slide from the thigh knee direction, repeat three times. Then change direction, right arm on the move, switching to the other side of the body.

Problem will take too long back?
This is another misunderstanding. Most people remain seated during the day time there are about 11.5 hours, and if it would be best to shorten this time. But the source of the problem is not "take" the state itself, but because we are too few in the process of sitting up activities. So, more activities, more exercise, more walking.
