Back pain is one of humanity’s most frequent complaints. About nine out of ten adults experience back pain at some point in their life, and five out of ten working adults have back pain every year. So, here are some causes of back pain that you can avoid.
Basically, spine is such a complex structure; it can often be difficult to pin down the exact cause of back pain. Perhaps the most common cause is when the back muscles begin to spasm. This can often occur after strenuous activity, or can be a reaction to repetitive strain. The muscle is damaged, or irritated, and goes into spasm to protect the area from further injury. This can be extremely painful, and can lead to muscle tears if undue stress is exerted.
Other causes of back pain include arthritis, fractures and infections. In many cases experts believe back pain is a manifestation of emotional upset, rather than a physical problem. More serious causes can include a prolapsed disc, or degenerative diseases of the spine – but these are relatively rare.
