From sun-up to sun-down, do you live your daily life with chronic back pain?  Whether it is from an accident or injury, or it is in hereditary form, back pain is just that, a PAIN.  If you cannot stand or sit in one place for too long without having to switch positions, or if you feel sharp stabs of pain when walking, it can be a totally “nerve wracking” experience.  If you have consulted your physician about these problems, he or she most likely has determined the actual back condition that you have and has decided on the best course of action to take first to try and eliminate your pain.  Your physician will probably recommend physical therapy or localized injections at the site of your back pain.  If these solutions have not worked and your back pain has persisted, he or she will want to further discuss the option for spinal chord surgery.
