People who are #physicallyactive in their free time are less likely to suffer from #chronicpain compared to those who have a #sedentary #lifestyle : this is what emerges from a study which recruited around 7,000 #adults through the #Tromsøsurvey .

IfI've had #backpain for years, must something have triggered it, like an #injury ?
No! While trauma might trigger #acutepain , in the case of #chronicpain multiple contributing factors might be considered, as well as aggravating factors to be targeted through #physiotherapy .

#Asymmetricallengths of the #lowerlimbs is frequently observed in subjects with #scoliosis . Although correcting this #discrepancy might appear to be the solution, this #study showed it should only be done under certain conditions.

Can #scoliosis get worse in spite of #bracingtreatment ?
Yes, unfortunately, it can. The most likely reasons for any worsening are that the #brace is not being worn for enough hours each day and the presence of a highly aggressive form of scoliosis.

Can #hernias give #backpain ?

In most cases, no. Structural changes, such as #protrusions or #discdegeneration , are very unlikely to give #chronicpain . They are like white hair: a physiological part of the #ageing process, and as a rule they are not particularly #painful .

What is one of the main #complications after #scoliosis #surgery ?
Sometimes (not often) the #rod breaks: as it is located in #scartissue or #bonetissue , it is unlikely to cause problems, therefore further surgery has to be discussed with the #surgeon .

#Backs bend forward more as the years go by, regardless of whether or not they have #hyperkyphosis , as most people spend much of their time in a #hunched position. This can be improved through #physiotherapy and, in particular, through #specificexercises .
