CONDITION
What is Back Pain?
Back pain is a common condition that can affect any part of the spine, from the neck down to the lower back. It can range from a dull ache to a sharp, stabbing sensation, and can significantly impact daily activities and quality of life. If not managed well, the condition can worsen into Sciatica and numbness in the leg.
Back pain can result from muscle strain, poor posture, spinal issues (such as Herniated Discs or Spinal Stenosis), or conditions like Arthritis. Factors like lack of physical activity, obesity, and stress can exacerbate back pain, as can certain jobs or activities that involve heavy lifting or prolonged sitting.
