What are the consequences of spinal pain?
Back pain can be very debilitating, even when mild. They alone are responsible for 10 to 20% of work stoppages in Europe.
It is therefore crucial not to let such pain drag on, and to quickly take the necessary measures to find the cause and alleviate it.
What are the solutions for spinal pain?
Of course, it all depends on the cause. In the case of common, non-severe acute pain, it is important not to stay still for too long. Prolonged rest, especially in bed, has been proven to aggravate pain instead of relieving it.
In the event of an acute crisis (torticollis, lumbago), symptomatic treatment, intended to relieve pain (painkillers of various categories), allows the resumption of normal activity as quickly as possible.
The analgesic treatment must be of short duration and you should not hesitate to see your doctor again if the pain persists beyond 4 to 7 days of treatment.
For chronic pain, spinal manipulation and osteopathy can be effective. Strength exercises, supervised by a physiotherapist or physiotherapist, can also be beneficial. Activities such as yoga, swimming or aqua gym can also provide relief.
