Back pain (also known "dorsalgia") is pain felt in the back that may originate from the muscles, nerves, bones, joints or other structures in the spine.
The pain may have a sudden onset or it can be a chronic pain, it can be felt constantly or intermittently, stay in one place or refer or radiate to other areas. It may be a dull ache, or a sharp or piercing or burning sensation. The pain may be felt in the neck (and might radiate into the arm and hand), in the upper back, or in the low back, (and might radiate into the leg or foot), and may include symptoms other than pain, such as weakness, numbness or tingling.
Back pain is one of humanity's most frequent complaints. In the U.S., acute low back pain (also called lumbago) is the fifth most common reason for all physician visits. About nine out of ten adults experience back pain at some point in their life, and five out of ten working adults have back pain every year.

Chiropractic and the Pursuit of Wellness

Chiropractic is based on the concept of management of your spine in alignment, so that your body can achieve a higher state of health as wellness. Modern chiropractic but recognizes the crucial role of keeping the body in a stress-free state in order to prevent misalignment errors before they occur. There are three forms of stress to be: physical, mental and emotional. In this series of articles will give tips and advice to combat the deleterious effects of alll three kinds of stress and helps the body achieve wellness.

What is wellness, anyway? Wellness is a relatively new concept in our society, and now that the concept is here, everyone seems to want to have it. Let us first define what is wellness. Wellness is a state of peak health, in addition, symptom-free, which allows for an improvement in the quality of life. Wellness can also be a "constant, conscious pursuit of life to its fullest potential."

For many years, I have a chiropractor, and it is the most beautiful thing to see someone from a symptom based patient pain to someone who is not only pain free, but the operation at a higher level of life known as wellness . It is often stated by me in subtle ways at first, an increase in the time the person is smiling, a bounce or energy in their step. However inevitable, since all the pain melt, and people start or continue to healthy choices of movement and proper nutrition, there is an outer and inner glow that patients who remain in care achieve, and that is the magic of a doctor about Symptoms and wellness.

Stay tuned as we tips and advice on how to reach a peak level of wellness in the coming weeks.
