Main causes of back pain
Incorrect sitting and posture: Working hunched over in a chair for a long time (especially for those who use a computer) and sleeping in the wrong way put excessive pressure on the spine.
Muscle weakness and strain: Strain occurs in the muscles of the back when you bend over to pick up heavy objects suddenly or when you twist your body in the wrong way.
Disc problems (Herniated Disc): Severe back pain occurs when the discs between the vertebrae in the spine push out and press on the nerves.
Lifestyle: Lack of physical exertion and lack of exercise weaken the muscles of the back and increase the pain.
Obesity: Obesity puts more weight on the spine and muscles, which gradually leads to back pain.
Spondylosis/Arthritis: As we age, the distance between the vertebrae decreases and wear and tear occurs, which can cause back pain.
Other causes: Stress, osteoporosis, and kidney disease can also sometimes cause back pain.
