What is Back Pain?

Back pain is a common ailment that affects people of all ages and backgrounds. It refers to discomfort or pain anywhere along the spine, from the neck down to the lower back. Back pain can be acute, lasting for a short period, or chronic, persisting for months or even years.

Causes of Back Pain

Numerous factors can contribute to the development of back pain. These include:
1. Muscle Strain: Overexertion, lifting heavy objects, or sudden movements can strain the muscles and ligaments in the back, leading to pain.
2. Poor Posture: Improper body mechanics and prolonged sitting or standing in incorrect positions can strain the muscles and ligaments supporting the spine.
3. Spinal Abnormalities: Conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, and osteoarthritis can put pressure on the nerves in the back, causing pain.
4. Injuries: Traumatic events such as falls, car accidents, or sports injuries can damage the structures in the back and result in pain.
5. Age and Degeneration: As we age, the spine undergoes natural wear and tear, leading to degenerative changes that can cause back pain.

Common Symptoms

The symptoms of back pain can vary depending on the underlying cause, but commonly include:
1. Dull or Aching Pain: Back pain is often described as a persistent, dull ache that may worsen with movement.
2. Sharp or Stabbing Pain: In some cases, back pain may be intense and sharp, radiating down the leg or arm, indicating nerve involvement.
3. Decreased Range of Motion: Back pain can limit flexibility and make it difficult to perform simple movements or tasks.
4. Muscle Stiffness: Tightness in the surrounding muscles may accompany back pain, making it challenging to find relief.
5. Numbness or Tingling: If a nerve is compressed or irritated, it can cause sensations of numbness, tingling, or weakness in the back or the limbs.
