Nearly everyone suffers form backache or back pain at some point of time or another in their lifespan. Among the common causes of back pain are incorrect posture; poor muscle tone, especially in the abdomen; sitting in awkward position; and a sedentary lifestyle, such as spending most of your day at a desk or driving a car for hours. Straining to do manual labor or other work that involves lifting and carrying heavy loads can trigger back pain. Other mechanical causes include stress and compression fractures, torn muscles, and strained ligaments. Among the disease and disorders that can cause back pain are anemia, arthritis, tumor, kidney diseases, cystitis, gallstones, and emotional stress. Back pain often develops as the result of an accident in which intervertebral discus or vertebrae sustain damage. The term “slipped disc” is frequently used to describe a prolapse of intervertebral disc, which is a structural disorder that may involve one or more discs pressing on a nerve root or on the spinal cord. Pain at the back has many causes; the treatment differs as per the cause.
