Back pain doesn’t have to take over your day. Long hours at a desk, physical work, exercise strain, or everyday activities can all lead to stiff muscles or that tight back feeling. When aches build up, even simple movements like bending, stretching, or standing up can start to feel like hard work.
Ralgex offers trusted, targeted support to help ease pain, reduce stiffness and keep you moving with confidence.
Understanding Chronic Back and Recurring Pain
Pain is considered chronic when it lasts for 12 weeks or more, even after initial injury or strain has healed. Back pain is often linked to muscle strain or conditions such as a slipped disc or sciatica. In rare cases, it can be caused by something more serious, like an infection or underlying illness – but most back pain isn’t due to anything severe. Sometimes, no clear cause is ever found.
If your back pain lasts for less than 12 weeks, this is usually considered acute. Lower back pain tends to get better in 6 to 8 weeks but according to the NHS, 1 in 3 people have another episode within 12 months. This is known as recurring back pain.
Recurring back pain may come and go, flaring up after activity or long periods of sitting, making daily life unpredictable and frustrating.
