What is back pain?
What causes back pain?
While the cause of back pain will be different for everyone, there are some things that make you more susceptible to it. Age, lack of exercise, excess weight, certain diseases, smoking, lack of stretching, injury, poor posture, and some psychological conditions can all contribute to back pain symptoms.
How can I relieve back pain at home?
At home remedies for back pain depend on the underlying cause of the pain. At home treatments may include: stretching, relaxation techniques, hot and cold packs, and pain relieves. Talk to a doctor to learn which options might be best for you.
Can you get back pain treatment online?
It depends! Sometimes, a doctor can diagnose and treat your back pain online and prescribe necessary medications. Other times, they may recommend an in person evaluation before prescribing a treatment plan.

Does K Health offer discounts on medication?
Discounts are available with the RxSaver Card, which can save you up to 80% on many medications.
Here's how to use it:
Show your RxSaver card (located in the app under "Profile" > "RxSaver Card") to your pharmacist when you pick up your prescription. Ask them to check the RxSaver discount price, and to compare it to your insurance or Medicare plan price (if you have insurance or Medicare). You and your pharmacist can determine the lowest price available.
To get an idea of price before picking up your medication, visit rxsaver.com and search for your medication.
How do I connect with a doctor online?
Simply download the K Health mobile app and start sharing your symptoms with our intelligent system. After a few questions, your doctor will join the conversation to prescribe a personalized treatment plan.
