Low back pain is a prevalent health issue affecting up to 80% of the population at some point in their lives. It’s a leading cause of work absence and a significant health concern. The spine, a complex structure comprising vertebrae, cartilage rings, ligaments, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels, supports the body’s upright posture and allows for movement. Given its critical functions and constant exposure to mechanical stress, the spine is prone to degenerative changes leading to pain.
This condition disproportionately affects those engaged in physical labor or prolonged sitting, the elderly, individuals with osteoporosis, those with congenital spine anomalies, and patients recovering from spinal surgery or injuries. However, a natural remedy, comfrey root, has shown promising results in providing relief.
