The next thing we know, we may be headed for costly treatments, time off from work, and maybe even surgery. The back is a vulnerable area because it bears the brunt of many activities. If we lift without bending out knees, the back finds itself carrying all that weight. If we twist into an unusual position, the back is at stake. If we sit for too long, often our posture slumps and our back suffers.
Back pain is common, it is annoying and it afflicts people of all ages.
But perhaps the pain would go away with a type of treatment growing in popularity. This is more likely to be the case if the pain involves a pulled ligament. Pulled ligaments are painful because the injured area gets moved every time that part of the body changes position. And ligaments take a long time to heal. It is called prolotherapy, and it is a type of injection used for treating pulled ligaments and related conditions.
