Sub-Conditions
Eight out of ten people suffer from back pain. In fact, it's the most common reason for doctors' visits in the US. Acute back pain is temporary, lasting a few days to a few weeks, while chronic back pain persists much longer. Back conditions often are simply treated with ice, heat, rest, and pain medications, but sometimes additional therapies or surgery are required to provide long lasting relief.
