Back Pain—What is it and Why We Get it

Written by Alison Stanton on March 17, 2010 - 6:57am

I’m not sure that there’s a single person in the world who hasn’t had a sore back at one time or another. My father has chronic back pain and lives with discomfort every day of his life. My husband gets more of the “I just leaned over funny and now my back is killing me” variety. And for many of my friends as well as myself, we get back pain from overuse—too much lifting of our kiddos or trying to move the couch by ourselves or hoisting our big dogs into the tub. In other words, back pain is extremely common. But rather than focus on the more negative side of back pain, let’s look instead on how we can avoid it in the first place.

Sacroiliac Joint Pain and Injury

Written by Ann Butenas on March 11, 2010 - 10:35am

The small joint that rests where the spine and the pelvis meet is called the sacroiliac joint. Typically, when we hear the word “joint” in reference to the human anatomy, we think of elbows, knees, hips, and shoulders, as these are the areas that create motion. Even though the sacroiliac joint does not move significantly, it has tremendous impact on how the upper body load is transferred to the lower body.

Sciatica - Cause and Effect

Written by Samara Kelly on March 1, 2010 - 6:23am

The general population may know the term sciatica, and even be able to associate it with the words "back" and "pain". While this is all true, there is much more to this condition than meets the general population's eye, and you would only know this if you have dealt with the pain first hand.
