Chronic lower back pain - pain that has been with you for a long time - puts a crimp in the lifestyle of young and old alike. The average age for back surgery in men is 37.9 years of age and in women 45 years. That's young! Leg pain due to a back condition is a more prevalent factor for the surgery. (1) But surgery is not the only answer for chronic lower back pain. It may be just a bump in the road of chronic back pain if a plan isn't designed to control it. But back pain plagues Baton Rouge residents who haven't had back surgery, too. Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers is here for any lower back pain sufferer - chronic, post-surgical or acute - seeking relief.

Now, the first step in dealing with chronic lower back pain is to avoid it. A healthy lifestyle that includes exercise, activity, nutrition, diet, weight control, rest, and even chiropractic can help. However, if you are one who has an injury or is prone to back problems, you'll want to consider ways to cope and control it.
