Sleepcentre / Backcare / Easing Back Pain

Background

Your back is arguably one of the most important parts of your body. It contains the spine, which supports the whole body and is in use 24 hours a day - even when you are asleep. The spine is made up of 33 small bones, called vertebrae, which are stacked on top of one another. Vertebrae scale down the neck, the chest, and the lower back. Beneath the lower back lie the sacrum (consisting of five vertebrae) and the tail bone (the coccyx). The lower region of the back is the most vulnerable area to back pain: it carries the entire weight of the trunk plus the weight of anything you carry or lift. It also twists and bends more than the upper part of the back. The lower back suffers more wear and tear than any other portion of the spine.

The Bad News

Over 95% of people experience back pain at some point in their lives. A typical complaint, back pain is one of the most common reasons for visiting a doctor.

The Good News

Most back pain will eventually subside by itself, and, of course, your doctor can help speed recovery.

A Quality Bed

Absolutely. In fact, the Back Supporter was designed with a healthy back in mind, especially the lower back. Featuring an innerspring unit with 5 support zones, the Back Supporter includes an extra concentration of coils in the middle third of the sleep set where your lower back is located. Plus, zoned steel modules reinforce the centre third of the foundation for extra support. But, it's also worth adding, you don't have to suffer from back pain to appreciate a good quality, comfortable bed.
