June 16, 2006, Newsletter Issue #20: Back and Neck Pain

Tip of the Week

Back ache or some form of neck pain affects the vast majority of Americans sometime during the course of their lives (over 80%). The most common manifestation is in the lower back, and acute back pain typically starts slowly and builds up over time as tissue, tendons and bones degenerate. Individuals suffering from acute back pain should also consult a physician for appropriate long term solutions, but in some cases a memory foam topper has proven helpful. Memory foam is a material engineered by NASA that reduces pressure points during sleep. Memory foam toppers can be found in 3lb and 5lb weights (weight denotes quality for memory foam, 3lb and up is considered high-quality and under 3lb is considered low quality).
