Features: Back pain, although not as common as neck pain or lower back pain, is also a common ailment. Approximately 30% to 40% of people suffer from back pain at some point, and 80% to 90% have experienced it at some time. People of all genders and ages can be affected, but back pain is most common among middle-aged individuals. Back pain is a symptom that can be seen in various diseases. Some conditions are serious and require serious attention, such as traumatic fractures of the thoracic vertebrae, tuberculosis, or tumors; while others involve milder back pain symptoms, often caused by cold exposure or poor posture, which do not necessarily require excessive anxiety. In addition to back pain caused by serious diseases, back pain generally resulting from cold exposure, overexertion, poor posture, or degenerative spinal changes can often be effectively treated with simple therapies for self-treatment. This book is specifically written for back pain patients, introducing diagnostic knowledge for common back pain and treatment methods that can be used at home. For back pain that does not require special treatment, readers can achieve good results by following the methods described in this book. Even for diseases that require professional medical treatment, using the treatment methods introduced in this book in conjunction can certainly improve the therapeutic effect.
