What is Back and Joint Pain?

Back and joint pains are common issues for millions of people around the world. The causes can vary, from sciatica to muscle tiredness to arthritis, but the result is often the same: tired muscles, sometimes intense pain and a negative impact on everyday life.

For many people, back and joint pain is an accepted part of life. Certain jobs and lifestyles make back and joint pain more likely, but that doesn’t mean you have to put up with it.

What Causes Back and Joint Pain?

For many people, back and joint pain comes from standing, walking or sitting in a sedentary position for long periods of time.

When the human body is forced to do this, it will develop aches and strains. Over time, other parts of the body compensate for this discomfort, and the outcome is aching, painful joints and a tired, sore back.

In cases like sciatica and arthritis, the damage is to the physical nerves and structures of the body itself, and the effects are often crippling.

What Can Help?

The treatment of joint and back pain is never straightforward. These are complex parts of the body and what works for one person may have no discernible effect for another.

The most common treatments for joint and back pain are anti-inflammatory and painkilling medications. These themselves can have a big impact on overall health and wellbeing, so they are not always ideal. The only other options for most people are targeted exercises and, in the most extreme cases, surgery.
