Back Pain
Back pain affects people of all ages. There is a variety of reasons for it. Back pain can turn chronic if left untreated for a long time and the condition can even be debilitating. Usually, back pain can result from activity, injury, and some medical conditions. The back of the human body has a complex structure of muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, nerves and disks that work together to support the body and aid movements. The spine has several segments with disks, which are cartilage pads cushioning the bony structure. When any of the components suffer damage or stress, it causes back pain.
Types of back pain
The back extends from the shoulders to the hip and medical professionals categorize back pain by its location whether the pain is in the upper, middle, or lower portion. Low back pain is most prevalent while pain in the upper and middle portions is even quite common. Moreover, the pain might be on the right side, left side, or in the middle.
Differentiating the pain according to the severity – mild, moderate, or severe helps to describe its nature which might occur over an area in the form of a broad ache or may feel like a smaller sharp stab at some specific point or also radiating pain due to nerve involvement.
Distinguishing back pain by its duration such as chronic back pain that usually lasts for 3-6 months or more or it’s an acute and brief episode often helps to diagnose the problem better.
Common causes of back pain
Poor posture, some medical conditions, and injury are the probable causes of back pain but in some cases, the cause might remain unclear. Obesity and a sedentary lifestyle are as much to blame for back pain as poor posture. Aging increases the chances of back pain as the body undergoes wear and tear.
