Copyright 2020 Medical News TodayBack pain affects most people at some point in their life, triggered by bad posture, bending awkwardly or lifting incorrectly. Most cases of back pain improve within a few weeks or months, but some people experience long-term repetitive pain. Sometimes back pain can be caused by an injury or disease, such as a slipped disc, sciatica, whiplash, frozen shoulder or ankylosing spondylitis. Treatment may include strong pain medication, muscle strengthening exercises, manual therapy or CBT.http://www.medicalnewstoday.comadmin@medicalnewstoday.com (MNT Admin)editors@medicalnewstoday.com (MNT Editors)en-us Thu, 02 Jan 2020 00:00:00 PSThttps://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/327351.phphttps://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/327351.phpA new study sees fewer post-treatment complications among returning military service personnel with chronic pain who received nondrug therapy.Pain / Anesthetics Thu, 19 Dec 2019 23:00:00 PSThttps://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/327363.phphttps://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/327363.phpA cerebrospinal fluid leak involves the fluid escaping from the spine or a tear in the brain’s protective covering.
