New research has revealed that most treatments being offered to teenagers with persistent back pain are ‘outdated’. The study shows that new approaches to tackling back pain are not being tested among teenagers. Instead, most treatments being offered to teenagers with back pain tend to ignore the ‘big picture’ issues such as sleep, mood, stress, and relationships. “Traditional approaches such as exercise can play a useful role in helping teenagers with back pain,” explained researcher Sara D.

Claudius Meade Capps was born April 9, 1863 two miles below Walkers Ford on the Clinch River in Union County, Tennessee. He moved with the family in 1869 to the Maynardville Valley (Nave Hill area) seven miles east of Maynardville, the County seat of Union County. Here he spent his boyhood and young manhood. At that time, there were no educational opportunities in this county, and he educated himself as best he could by studying at home–often at night by a dipwick light or a blazing pine knot by the kitchen fire.
