What Is Back Pain?

Back pain is a common condition that can affect people of all ages and activity levels.Sometimes the cause of back pain is obvious, such as an injury or lifting something awkwardly. In other cases, symptoms may develop gradually over time and be linked to a combination of factors including posture, work, lifestyle or changes in physical activity.For many people, back pain can make everyday activities more difficult and may impact sleep, exercise and overall wellbeing.The good news is that most episodes of back pain improve with time and appropriate support.

Common Causes of Back Pain

Back pain can develop for many different reasons, including:

• Poor posture or prolonged sitting
• Repetitive movements
• Sports injuries
• Heavy lifting or awkward movements
• Muscle strain
• Physical demands at work
• Stress and tension
• Reduced physical activity
• Age-related changes to the joints and spine

Sometimes there may not be one single cause, which is why a thorough assessment can be helpful in understanding your symptoms.

Symptoms vary from person to person but may include:

• A dull ache or sharp pain in the back
