Will there ever be a cure for back pain?

One can never know if there will be a cure for anything, however, back pain is one of the trickier health issues to predict. Chronic back pain is one of the most common complaints in western society. The lifestyles often contribute to back damage and back pain.

The spine is not easily fixed and there are many things that can go wrong with it, from traumatic injuries to osteoporosis, or so-called wear-and-tear arthritis. As the population ages and the issue of back pain grows, a lot of resources are being placed into prevention of back injury, as well as in back treatments.
