along the sciatic nerve, butt, and leg. Most back pain
can be diminish through the use of physical therapy or massage
therapy. Though the healing time can be upwards of 6 months,
or even years, but this depends upon the damage. In the case
of injury, to the spine such as sprains and fractures can cause
either short-lived or chronic pain. (Chronic pain is defined as pain
which persists for more than 3 months.) Sprains are tears in
the ligaments that support the spine, and they can occur from
