Do you have acute or chronic back pain?

Acute Back Pain
Acute back pain is short-term and most often caused by a sudden injury to the muscles and ligaments supporting the back. Sports injuries, over-training and car accidents are the most common causes of acute back pain. This sharp pain is aggravated by specific movements, and also includes visible inflammation and tenderness with strong massage.

Chronic Back Pain
Chronic injury and re-occurring trauma are the culprits for chronic back pain. Patients with sedentary lifestyles or those working in occupations that require repetitive movements or awkward positions most commonly suffer from this type of back pain. Chronic low back pain is usually the result of poor posture and ergonomics. This dull and constant pain often responds well to massage and heat therapy.Many people also seek
herniated disc treatment.
