Back Pain

Back pain is less common in the general population than back and neck pain. It often develops after poor ergonomic positions, such as prolonged bending. Back pain is more common in people who work sitting at a desk or have to carry a heavy load due to their occupation. Back pain can be caused by the bones of the spine, the disc between the vertebrae, the facet joint, the ligaments and muscles supporting the spine, the spinal cord or nerve roots.
