Back Pain
Back pain is a widespread condition that can affect anyone, regardless of age or lifestyle. It can range from mild discomfort to severe, debilitating pain that impacts daily activities. Back pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including injury, poor posture, or underlying medical conditions.
Causes:
- Muscle Strain: Overuse or sudden movements can cause muscles or ligaments in the back to stretch or tear.
- Herniated Discs: The soft discs between vertebrae can slip or rupture, pressing on nerves and causing intense pain.
- Degenerative Conditions: Age-related conditions like osteoarthritis or degenerative disc disease can contribute to chronic back pain.
- Poor Posture: Long hours of sitting or improper body mechanics can lead to back pain over time.
- Injury: Accidents, falls, or sports injuries can result in back pain from fractures, sprains, or other trauma.
