I had been looking for relief from my chronic back pain that had me walking bent over nearly parallel to the ground, for over 20 years. Other doctors did the same procedures the others did, put me on the same medication and said that was all there was to be done short of fusing my back. Not wanting to do something so radical, I resigned myself to my walker, cane and wheelchair. Then I found Pain Zero. I am now walking perfectly straight, unassisted; something I never thought I'd ever do again! Please contact Pain Zero and start your own journey back to a normal life again!! I cannot say enough about this wonderful practice. Call them today!!

How common is back pain?
Back pain is the leading cause of disability for people younger than 45, affecting millions of Americans (almost 80%) at some time in their life. Typically, back pain is developed between the ages of 30 – 50 and is frequently the result of an injury, a sedentary lifestyle, and the effects of aging.

However, when back pain is severe and persists for weeks without improvement and interferes with work, daily activities, and sleep or is accompanied by fever, numbness, weakness, pain that shoots into the legs, unexplained weight loss, or trouble urinating, it is recommended that you see a physician.
What are some ways to prevent back pain?
There are several easy things you can do to reduce and/or avoid back pain, including using proper lifting techniques, strengthening the core with regular exercise, stretching and doing spinal release exercises, quitting smoking, avoiding a sedentary lifestyle, and maintaining a healthy weight.
