Physical therapist,retired, Dr. Grace Walker has provided physical therapy and related pain treatment to patients at the Walker Physical Therapy and Pain Center since 1982. Dr. Grace Walker had particular experience with treating back pain.
Back pain is very common in America, impacting at least 50 percent of the adult workforce on an annual basis. Eight out of 10 Americans experience complications with back pain at least once in their lives. Some causes of back pain are more common than others. For example, muscle and ligament strains result from lifting heavy objects or making sudden, awkward movements that involve the spine. These types of injuries can impact anyone, though individuals in poor physical condition are more likely to suffer from painful muscle spasms. Back pain can also result from a spinal disc that ruptures or moves out of place. Discs can rub against one another or press against surrounding nerves, though this does not always lead to immediate spinal pain. Not all back pain is caused by physical injury to the spine. Osteoarthritis, for instance, is a condition that can impact different parts of the body, including the lower back. Arthritis can become so severe in the back that the space around the spinal cord narrows through a process known as spinal stenosis. Other diseases that can create pain throughout the back include osteoporosis and axial spondylarthritis. Dr. Grace Walker has written a book:Bye-Bye Back Pain: 9 Holistic Solutions for Relief from Sciatica, Lumbago, Slipped Disc, and Backache and can be found on Amazon.
