In this fast moving world, a lot of people suffer from neck pain and back pain due to poor life style like sitting in the computer or tv for long periods and lack of physical exercises. This makes the neck and back muscles weak and flabby resulting in increased transmission of forces to the discs of vertebral bones. When the weak discs are subjected to a sudden force such as lifting a weight, it ruptures leading to disc prolapse. When the disc material comes into contact with the nerves coming to the limbs, the pain will radiate to the limb accordingly. Always prevention is better than cure. Our lifestyles should be changed in such a way that physical exercise must become a part of our day routine. Avoiding bad postures and losing some weight will definitely cure 85 percent of back pain. Sleeping with a pillow under the knee to keep the knees bent a little will relieve back pain.
