What Is Back Pain?
Back pain is a common condition that affects the spine, muscles, nerves, or discs of the back. It can range from mild discomfort to severe pain that interferes with daily activities. Back pain may develop suddenly due to injury or gradually due to poor posture, ageing, or strain.
All About Back Pain
Back pain can be caused by muscle strain, slipped or bulging discs, poor posture, spinal degeneration, arthritis, nerve compression, or injury. Long sitting hours, heavy lifting, and lack of physical activity can also contribute.
Common symptoms include persistent backache, stiffness, pain that spreads to the legs, difficulty bending or standing, numbness or tingling, and pain that worsens with movement or prolonged sitting.
Treatment depends on the cause and severity of pain. Most cases improve with non-surgical care such as medication, physiotherapy, posture correction, and lifestyle changes. Surgery is considered only when necessary.
