The best stones to ease back pain

Nearly 80% of French people suffer from back pain at least once in their life. Back pain is even called " the evil of the century ", as it is so difficult to escape it, and unfortunately sometimes to get rid of it. Whatever the location, this pain can have several origins: osteoarticular, muscular or nervous.

In our daily movements, the spinal joints are subjected to strong stresses . This is especially the case at the level of the lumbar vertebrae , located at the bottom of the spine and at the crossroads of many forces (pressure, weight, shear, etc.). It is particularly the posterior (rear) joints that are most likely to suffer from poor posture, carrying loads, etc. The cervical vertebrae are subject to lower forces, but they are extremely mobile. At this level of the spine, it is therefore repeated and inappropriate movements that can cause long-term damage to the joints .

This chronic wear and tear can lead to progressive destruction of the cartilage located between each joint and create osteoarthritis ( degenerative rheumatic disease), causing pain. Osteoarthritis is a common cause of back pain, especially after the age of 40 . The pain caused is rather dull and chronic, accentuated at night and during phases of prolonged immobility . They cause stiffness in the joints , particularly noticeable in the morning when you wake up.
