Most people in India ignore back pain
when it is acute and seek medical help only when it is accompanied by some
other form of chronic pain, says a study.
Popping a pain killer to cope
with back pain may not be the best answer, as, like diabetes, back pain affects
other parts of your body and becomes more and more severe with time, the
researchers warned ahead of World Spine Day Oct 16.
“It is important to understand
that back pain is a symptom of a medical condition,”said Nithij Arenja from
QiSpine Clinic in Mumbai well known for specialist of spine in India.
“Back pain can be a sign of a serious
medical problem, although it may not be the underlying cause,” Arenja added.
Using various segregation
techniques, the researchers at the clinic analyzed data from 7,968 patients
from January 2012 to September 2014.
The researchers found that 56
percent patients had waited for almost one and a half months before taking
action about their back pain.
While the worldwide trend is that
20 percent of back pain patients become chronic, in India, 56 percent patients
are chronic even before they seek serious help, the findings showed.
It is important to treat back
pain otherwise it can become serious problem in future. QiSpine clinic is
known for safe guaranteed back pain treatment in Mumbai.
