By Christine Lewis


It is a well-known fact of life that the older we get, the more aches and pains we are going to collect. These are normal but can be quite discomforting. One of the more common types of pain people are going to experience the older they get is back Pain Loveland CO. This is a medical condition that will likely happen at certain points through the course of a normal human life.

This kind of discomfort is usually felt around the lower back, but can also extend all the way up the spine and buttocks. The specific form of pain differs from person to person; some describe it as dull ache, others will describe it as a persistent or throbbing feeling, while others suffer piercing pains whenever specific areas of their bodies are stressed. Sufferers can also feel unpleasant physical sensation in their arms and legs or internally.

This condition occurs due to a person's natural physiology, regular physical exertions, diet, and any particularly strenuous activity. The combination of these will usually decide when or if a person will experience this form of unpleasant physical sensation. Strain put on the lower back muscles as a result of any of these is quite often the cause of this problem. A person can suffer this form of unpleasant physical sensation when their body is subjected to unusually stressful activities, motionlessness for long periods, or awkward movements. Any of these can affect the lower back muscles badly and cause pain.

There are also medical conditions which can lead to a person experiencing unpleasant physical sensation at the lower back. These include herniated discs, spinal arthritis, spinal tumors, spinal stenosis, and vertebral fractures, and can be quite serious and require professional medical attention.

During these periods the body is able to recover from the strain that caused it damage previously. It must however be noted that only some portion of this rest should be bedrest.
