Back Pain Relief

Lower Back Pain is an Extremely Common Problem

In the United States, lower back pain is one of the most common medical conditions and one of the leading causes of visits to the doctor. In fact, approximately 80% of adults will experience lower back pain at some point in their lives.

It is ironic that the severity of back pain is often unrelated to the level of physical damage to the back. For example, muscle spasms from a simple back strain can cause excruciating pain that can make it difficult to walk or even stand. By contrast, a large herniated disc or completely degnerated disc can be completely painless.

Lower Back Pain is Not Always Confined to Just the Lower Back

"Lower back pain" means a pain or ache in your back somewhere between the bottom of the ribs and the top of the legs. The pain often begins suddenly and may follow an obvious strain or injury, but may also seem to appear without warning. The pain may often be felt in other locations in the body, often going as low as the buttocks, down the leg, and even into your feet.

GelPro Mats Can Effectively Relieve Lower Back Pain Caused from Standing on Hard Flooring

It is important to note that many types of lower back pain have no known anatomical cause, but the pain is still real and needs to be treated. In most instances, however, lower back pain can be linked to a general cause, such as a muscle strain, or a specific condition, such as degenerative disc disease or a lumbar herniated disc. While GelPro mats are not a solution for serious medical conditions, they can help prevent the fatigue that causes muscles strains and spasms. These strains and spasms can lead to irritated nerves and pain, which is why so many manufacturers supply anti-fatigue mats to their workers who spend significant time standing. As a matter-of-fact, most governmental health agencies around the world recommend anti-fatigue mats for workers who are required to stand for long periods of time on hard flooring.
