Pain Relief

Come to think of it? On your way home, you see a 12- or 14-year old child running around with a large belly sticking out of an almost fitted large shirt. You laugh for awhile, until a sudden pain occurred near your spine and you ache to lie in your nice slouching sofa. You imagined laying your back flat while watching your favorite football team and eating Hawaiian delight pizza. You cut your thoughts and realize you are suffering the same trauma. Back pain and obesity are two worst conditions that anyone can experience.

Obesity has become more and more prevalent because of changes in the holistic standard of living. Now that everything comes very handy and fast-paced, people tend to choose an easy and sedentary way of life. For instance, an employee with a pile of task to do may rather call for a fast-food delivery such as burger and soda, or pizza perhaps instead of going out of his office and take a minute of walk to search for a nice place to spend a short meal for lunch. Mothers that are trying to cut their budget may rather buy corn chips or chocolate cupcakes to fill her children’s lunchbox instead of a healthy vegetable sandwich.

A rise in body weight results in a geometric increase in the pressure on the spine. Obese people add greater risks of injury to their spine. An expert said that this is due to degenerative changes in the vertebral column. The pressure increases the risk of developing herniated disk, degenerative disk disease and the most common – back strain.

On the other hand, back injuries can also lead to obesity. For instance, pain slows someone’s movement, as well as emotional responses to produce symbolism messages, which can alter dramatically. A person can feel helpless and may continue life laying his back, pitying his condition and failing to see how he can relieve his pain. Inactive muscles lead to obesity.
