Unfortunately, most people will experience back pain at some point in their lives. Most of the time, people will experience back pain that is short lived and will resolve itself in the matter of a few days by simply resting, applying heat and cold, and taking over the counter medications. While most people will recover just fine, there is a small number of people who will continue to experience pain after these few days. Those who do not see an end to the pain are known to suffer from chronic back pain, and they will need to find alternative therapies as well as coping mechanisms that will allow them to live with the pain.
