The Prevalence of Back Pain

Back pain is a widespread issue affecting people of all ages, often due to lifestyle factors, work-related activities, or age-related changes. Understanding its causes is the first step towards effective treatment.

Common Causes of Back Pain

1. Poor Posture: Prolonged sitting and incorrect posture can lead to muscle imbalances and spinal stress.

2. Muscle Strain or Overuse: Lifting heavy objects improperly or overexertion can cause muscle strains.

3. Age-Related Changes: Degenerative changes in the spine, such as osteoarthritis, can lead to chronic back pain.

4. Underlying Medical Conditions: Conditions like herniated discs or sciatica can manifest as back pain.
