People who work in jobs where they sit down all day will be particularly familiar with back problems. Older people also frequently suffer from osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, rheumatism or rheumatoid arthritis as well as joint and back pain.
Persistent pain places an extraordinary strain on the entire organism and can result in further serious disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Just switching off the symptoms of pain is not the solution and drugs which alleviate the pain can also have negative effects on the body. A thorough diagnostic investigation is therefore the best starting point for successful treatment.
