The main causes of back pain are as follows:
The main causes of back pain
Poor posture: Working hunched over in a chair for hours and standing incorrectly puts excessive pressure on the muscles of the back.
Muscle and ligament injuries: Strain/Sprain can occur in the muscles or ligaments of the back due to sudden lifting of heavy objects and sudden movements.
Disc problems (Slip Disc/Herniated Disc): The discs between the vertebrae of the spine push or rupture, putting pressure on the nerves and causing severe pain (which can also spread to the legs).
Overweight: As you gain weight, the pressure on the spine increases, leading to back pain.
Lifestyle: Lack of exercise weakens the muscles of the back. Sedentary lifestyle is a major cause of this.
Age: Back pain is common as we age due to wear and tear on the spine (Spondylosis/Arthritis).
Other health problems: Kidney stones, menstrual problems,
