Low back pain is a syndrome that can be seen in 60-85% of today's society at any time in life and has a wide variety of causes. In addition to the high treatment costs, especially in mechanical low back pain, the negative effects of chronic pain on the patient are very important.
Contrary to popular belief, low back pain is not the result of inevitable aging. Like all organs, wear and tear of the spine is a physiological event. The hardening of the spine by losing its flexibility over time is a balancing element that provides additional resistance against increasingly weak muscles.
Low back pain can be seen at all ages. We even have a 15-year-old patient who developed back and leg pain due to a herniated disc and underwent surgery. In terms of chronic disease treatment, it ranks second after heart diseases. The importance of low back pain emerges especially in the industrial sector and working society. Loss of working days and workforce due to pain accounts for a large sum.
70-80% of patients with low back pain can recover without the need for any treatment after the first acute attack. In 20-30% of cases, there may be a 2nd or 3rd recurrence. The important thing here is to prevent these recurrences. Because with repetitions, the pain becomes chronic and the patient becomes unable to do any work due to back pain. This can be prevented by waist training. It is necessary for a person to know his/her waist, to know how much strain will be placed on the waist with which movements, to learn the risk factors that cause low back pain, and how exercises can prevent pain. posture) and physical movements that strain the waist are responsible. For this, it is necessary to define what unnatural physical behaviors are in daily life and professional work, learn the correct ones and prevent excessive strain on the spine. Waist protection principles are necessary not only during the acute painful period, but throughout life. Moreover, these are natural behaviors that are not difficult at all.
