Who all are at risk?

All age groups, male or female, all are at risk. Those leading sedentary lifestyle, overweight, smokers, heavy weight lifters, housewives due to frequent forward bending, etc. are the most prone to backache.

Can it be prevented?

Yes! It can be prevented, by not doing all the wrong things we have been doing since ages and slightly modifying our daily habits. Walk around for 5 minutes after every 45 minutes of continuous sitting. Be seated on a chair with good back support and sit with a straight back. To pick things, squat, do not bend. 15 minutes of daily exercise, regular walking, exercise in the gym with a proper trainer, balanced natural diet, adequate exposure to the Sun can be of great help.

What if one is not able to prevent it?

Proper adequate rest and hot fomentation to overburdened back muscles and then modifying one’s not so cool habits will relieve mild backache but if no relief is in sight then immediately seek advice from expert doctors (which are not your neighbouring aunts and uncles) for proper diagnosis and treatment.

What options do I have, if I suffer from a prolapsed disc?

If diagnosed with mild disc prolapse, proper rest, exercises and medications will do. But, if significant prolapse is detected, the prolapsed portion of the disc needs to be removed. The surgeries, nowadays, are quite safe, with almost no complications and great results. Backache is Preventable & its Curable.
