Understanding Back Pain

Back pain affects many people. It can come from different causes. Some may suffer from injuries, while others deal with strain from lifting heavy objects. Even sitting for long hours can lead to discomfort. Knowing what leads to back pain helps in finding the right treatment.

Common Causes of Back Pain

1. Muscle Strain: Overusing your muscles can lead to pain.
2. Injuries: Falls or accidents often hurt the back.
3. Poor Posture: Slouching can cause pressure on your back.
4. Herniated Discs: This happens when the discs in your spine get damaged.
5. Aging: As people grow older, their back may weaken.

Symptoms You Might Experience

• Pain in the lower back.
• Stiffness that makes it hard to move.
• A sharp feeling when twisting or lifting.
• Numbness in your legs or feet.

If you notice any of these signs, it may be time to seek help. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to more serious issues.
