Overview

Back and neck pain are among the most common health problems in adults. 85% of all Americans will suffer back pain at some point in their life. Most episodes of back and neck pain are temporary, resulting from stress on muscles or ligaments that support the spine. Many people find relief with the help of ice, heat, and anti-inflammation medications. Others are not so lucky.
