If you have chronic back or neck pain, the following information can help you better understand your condition.

Injuries increase the likely hood

Why Chronic Pain Occurs
Under some circumstances, chronic back or neck pain stems from an initial injury. Car accidents, slip and fall incidents and sports injuries can all lead to chronic pain. Some individuals may experience ongoing pain for less apparent reasons. In some cases, pain results from repetitive motions that gradually compromise the spinal column’s health. For instance, a job that requires heavy lifting on a daily basis may cause chronic pain. Chronic pain can also develop from no apparent cause at all, as is the case for many who sit at a desk for hours at a time.
