Daijiworld Media Network- Sydney

Sydney, Jul 20: A groundbreaking study by Macquarie University’s Spinal Pain Research Group has revealed that regular walking can significantly reduce the recurrence of lower back pain.
Published in the medical journal The Lancet, the study highlights walking as an effective, accessible, and cost-free method to manage one of the world’s leading causes of disability.

Lower back pain affects nearly 800 million people globally and remains a persistent health challenge. Most sufferers rely on medication or ointments for temporary relief, only to experience recurring pain within a year. While exercise and education are widely recommended, many find structured workouts unaffordable or inaccessible.

The Australian researchers found that individuals with a history of lower back pain who incorporated regular walking into their routine were able to go almost twice as long without the pain returning. The study underscores walking as a practical alternative to expensive treatment methods.

Researchers suggest that daily walking helps strengthen the body and supports spine health. The simplicity and effectiveness of this approach may offer long-term relief to countless individuals battling chronic back pain.
