When it comes to back health, you become the mechanic who knows your body the best. Armed with knowledge and the proper tools, you can ensure your back and spine stay healthy for many years to come. June is back health awareness month in Sunrise Health Region with the message that back health and the prevention of back injuries is important to overall health and quality of life. More than 70% of back problems occur during routine daily activities and many experience some type of back pain at some point in time. The pain may occur suddenly and be gone within a couple of days or weeks, or it may occur repeatedly, never completely going away, and can have a major impact on your regular activities.
