Back Pain

Your back is a complex structure consisting of bones, nerves and joints. Often we cannot pinpoint the exact cause of our back pain. Most back pains are not caused by serious damage or disease but may be caused by minor strains, sprains, minor injuries or pinched nerves. Back pain can even be triggered by everyday activities at work, home or even overuse of muscles during sports activities. Sometimes our back pain develops for no apparent reason at all. Certain risk factors can also add to back pain symptoms (eg) being overweight, stress or tension or even long term use of certain medications which can weaken bones. Inflammation of the joints in the lower back spine may also cause back pair. Some back pain symptoms can improve quickly only to return after some time
