Back and neck pain: how to know when to seek medical help
/
Most of us will experience back or neck pain in our lifetime. Inactivity during lockdown, poor posture while working from home and an addiction to our mobile phones has seen many of us reaching for a heat pack and sympathy in recent months.
The good news is that research shows you don’t necessarily need to know the cause of your back pain to treat it successfully. Bed rest isn’t recommended and could actually make your pain worse. Instead, try to move again gently as soon as you can. For most of us, back pain resolves in a few days to a few weeks with appropriate care.
