Back pain is a health problem that is common in most people of all ages these days. It can be caused by anything from a wrong lifestyle to physical defects. The main causes are:
Poor Posture: Sitting in a hunched position that puts strain on the spine is the main cause of back pain. Sitting in the same position, especially in front of the computer or on the mobile phone, for a long time puts a lot of pressure on the muscles of the spine.
Muscle Strain: Suddenly bending over to lift heavy objects or unexpectedly cutting the body can cause minor injuries to the muscles and ligaments of the back. This leads to severe pain.
Slipped Disc: The discs between the vertebrae in the spine protrude (Disc Prolapse) and wear and tear, which puts pressure on the nerves. This can cause pain that radiates from the waist to the legs (sciatica).
Obesity and lack of exercise: When you gain weight, the spine experiences more pressure than it can bear. The belly bulge affects the natural curve of the spine and causes pain. Lack of exercises that strengthen the muscles aggravates the problem.
Vitamin deficiency and other diseases: Lack of calcium and vitamin D in the body causes bone weakness. In addition, people with arthritis, kidney stones, and uterine problems can also experience referred pain (Referred Pain).
