What is Back Pain?
Acute
or short-term low back pain generally lasts from a few days to a few
weeks. Most acute back pain is the result of trauma to the lower back
or a disorder such as arthritis. Pain from trauma may be caused by a
sports injury, work around the house or in the garden, or a sudden jolt
such as a car accident or other stress on spinal bones and tissues.
Symptoms may range from muscle ache to shooting or stabbing pain,
limited flexibility and range of motion, or an inability to stand
straight. Chronic back pain is pain that persists for more than 3
months. It is often progressive and the cause can be difficult to
determine.
Currently, researchers are
examining the use of different drugs to effectively treat back pain, in
particular, chronic pain that has lasted at least 6 months. Other studies
are comparing different health care approaches to the management of acute
low back pain (standard care versus chiropractic, acupuncture, or massage
therapy). These studies are measuring symptom relief, restoration of function,
and patient satisfaction.

Is there any treatment?
Most
low back pain can be treated without surgery. Treatment involves using
over-the-counter pain relievers to reduce discomfort and anti-inflammatory
drugs to reduce inflammation. Medications are often used to treat
acute and chronic low back pain. Effective pain relief may involve a
combination of prescription drugs and over-the-counter remedies. Although
the use of cold and hot compresses has never been scientifically proven
to quickly resolve low back injury, compresses may help reduce pain and
inflammation and allow greater mobility for some individuals. Bed
rest is recommended for only 1–2 days at most. Individuals
should resume activities as soon as possible.
