This website has been setup by sufferers of back pain for fellow sufferers, we are a nation of back sufferers with 4 out of 5 people suffering from back pain at some stage in their life. At the time we think we are alone or we feel we are the only one that is suffering and don't often get much sympathy.
Backache is not an illness in itself but could be a symptom of something that's gone wrong somewhere, although it may not always be exactly clear what. Some causes of back pain could be:
Poor posture
Excessive stresses
Wear and tear problems
You should always seek a medical opinion.
This site aims to provide a resource and focal point where you can find a range of opinion and assistance on how best to cope with back pain as well as ensuring sufferers don't feel so isolated.
There are articles from those within the medical profession and others with first hand experience of dealing with back pain, a diary where you can record your own thoughts and an online shop offering a range of back care products and aids.
As a sufferer myself I found it helpful being able to seek the views of others and sharing my experiences of how I have coped with my pain.
I hope this site in some small way can offer help to you, or those who you know, in dealing with back pain.
Please feel free to contribute your own personal accounts on how you deal with back pain or disabilities. Email them to david@backchatz.co.uk
