What is Back Pain?
Back pain is a type of pain in the lower back that is commonly referred to as backache or back pain. This pain is typically caused by strained ligaments and muscles surrounding the spine, but can also be caused by structural issues with the spine's bones. Back Pain, also known as lumbago, is a common cause of missed work and can be caused by an injury or other medical conditions. This type of pain can affect individuals of any age and for a variety of reasons. Adolescents and adults are more likely to experience back pain during their working lives.
Types
- Back sprain – It is the inflammation or damage of ligaments that connect the bones.
- Back strain – It is the damage to the tendons or muscles of the back.
- Disc degeneration – It is when the rubbery discs that cushion the vertebrae of the spine begin to shrink and lose integrity
- Herniated disc – It is when the soft inner portion of the disc pushes out from the hard exterior shell.
- Scoliosis – It is an abnormal curvature of the spine. It often causes the spine to form into C or S shapes and is most common during periods of rapid growth, like during puberty.
- Spondylolisthesis – It is a crack in one of the vertebrae caused by injury, which weakens the bone until it shifts out of the place of the spine.
