Back Pain Heredity

Follow me on:

If I had a dollar for every back pain sufferer who said to me "There's nothing I can do about my back pain. My mother had it. My brother had it. It just runs in the family," I'd be one wealthy lady. While I personally disagree that there's nothing they could do about their backaches, research does suggest a relationship between genetics and back pain.

I am not too sure if it is genetic, but my dad and I share the same problem. I have tried medication – it helps but the pain keeps coming back. Then the doctor advised me to opt for
a back massager
. The comfort and convenience of getting a massage at home is amazing, totally worth the money.
