Back pain is quite a common condition faced by most Americans. There could be many reasons for your sore back. It could be the result of the wrong posture you have while you sit, working for long hours at your workplace, an accident that you‘ve had, obesity, lack of physical activity or even too much strenuous physical activity. Usually, back pain is the result of some kind of strain in the ligaments or muscles.
Serious and Not So Serious Back Pain
Back pain that affects most people can be relieved with pain relievers available over-the-counter such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Such kind of acute pain can be relieved in around two weeks. However, more serious back pain may be caused by the nerves, spine, bones or discs suffering some kind of injury or damage. In such cases, medical attention is required.
