(Newswire.net — June 6, 2013) Denver, CO — Chiropractor Dr. Joel Cherdack of the Denver Pain Management Clinic says beyond the incredible discomfort and inconvenience of back pain, the dollar costs are immense. “This comes in the form of related health care costs, which according to researchers at the University of North Carolina, have doubled since the 1990s. The cause of the massive increase in costs associated with lower back pain is uncertain, but commonly suspected causes include obesity and general increases in body weight across the population. Cherdack goes on to say that pinpointing the cause of back pain can be difficult. “The common suspects are slips and falls, heavy lifting and twisting pressure on the back. Beyond acute cause, health problems such as poor muscle tone, excess weight, poor posture, degenerating bones and disks can also cause injury and lower back pain.”
Meanwhile, decades of research involving multiple studies supports Cherdack’s assertion that back pain is a huge problem in this country. Research shows that eight-out-of-ten Americans will suffer back pain at some point in their lives. Back Pain is the most common cause of job-related disability, the second most common neurological ailment, and a leading contributor of missed employment in America.
Dr. Joel Cherdack D.C. of the Denver Pain Management Clinic says his team of skilled physicians and health care professionals has the experience and education necessary to help their patients. “We take considerable care when working to identify the cause of your pain. Root causes can take time to properly diagnose and commonly include strains and sprains, disk-related pain, arthritis, fractured vertebrae and more. The most important thing is to get into our offices immediately to help prevent further aggravation of an existing injury. It’s pretty common for moderate damage to escalate to a severe state, and cause permanent pain if the condition is not treated promptly and properly.”
Neck pain is another problem, of which the majority of Americans will have to endure. Dr. Cherdack says neck pain is very common. “Most of us can expect that at one time or another, we too will experience it. If you experience neck pain, unfortunately there is a 50-to-80-percent chance you will experience it again. Occupational injuries and chronic stress are the most common causes of neck pain. Occupations that are athletic, writing based, or involve long periods of neck strain can cause problems or make an existing problem worse. Receiving a proper medical evaluation and multidisciplinary treatment plan is the best way to get on the road to recovery.”
