Causes of the condition
Back pain is a common musculoskeletal complaint characterized by discomfort or discomfort in the upper, middle, or lower back. It can be caused by various factors, including muscle strain, poor posture, injury, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, arthritis, or underlying medical conditions. Back pain can range from mild to severe and may be acute (lasting less than 6 weeks) or chronic (lasting longer than 12 weeks), affecting daily activities and quality of life.
