Lower Back Pain: Avoid Now…and Later

Posted on October 3rd, 2006

Your current regimen of chiropractic care may be working out kinks in your lower back that have been around a lot longer than you remember. A recent study of 10,000 Danish residents shows a link between adolescent and adult lower back pain (LBP).

Researchers studied twins born between 1972 and 1982 by sending out questionnaires in 1994 and again in 2002. The questionnaires assessed various general health issues, including lower back pain, asthma and headache. The outcomes showed that between 14 percent and 25 percent of the participants surveyed in 1994 still suffered from some form of lower back pain in 2002.

Fortunately, something can be done before lower back pain becomes a lifelong problem. Call 909-648-3551 and schedule a consultation with Dr. Mike Trudeau to discuss preventative treatment.
