Back Pain

AVOIDING BACK PAIN

According to the American Chiropractic Association, back pain affects 50% of working Americans every year, and may affect up to 80% of the American population at some point in their lives! This is a staggering amount of people. Chronic back pain is the number one cause of missed work in the United States. Not only are back pain sufferers often not able to work, but their pain also negatively impacts their lives outside of work as well. Here, at Seattle Wellness Group, we have seen our patients make great strides in lessening their back pain. Our goal is to free your life of chronic back pain, and go on to lead a happy, healthy life! Imagine: living a life free of pain!

To help avoid back injuries and back pain, try these helpful tips:

  • Consume a healthy, well-balanced diet

  • Maintain a healthy weight

  • Engage in aerobic exercise and strength training activities
