Back Pain: Cause and Treatment

Back pain is a common problem that affects most people at some point or time in their life. Your back is a complex structure made up of bones, muscles, nerves and joints. This can often make it difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the pain.Most cases of back pain aren't caused by serious damage or disease but by minor sprains, strains or injuries, or a pinched or irritated nerve.

These types of back pain can be triggered by everyday activities at home or at work, or they can develop gradually, over time.
