Your spine is the most important structure of the body because of its role in supporting the arms, head, legs, and pelvis. If you experience a problem with the spine you may experience the symptom in the form of pain in any of the supporting parts of the body. If you experience pain in any part of your body that has an unexplained origin, the cause may just be found in the spine.
There are numerous causes of back pain, the most common are arthritis, muscle or ligament strains, osteoporosis, sciatica, stress and lifestyle factors such as lack of exercise, being overweight, a sedentary life, poor posture, bad work habits, and stress.
Weak muscles and ligaments may be unprepared for sudden, heavy or unusual activity put upon them causing injury. Osteoporosis can cause vertebral fracture caused by the thinning of bone. Stress can cause muscle tension, which can then lead to fatiguing of tissues, causing the pain. Persistent tight muscles can cause postural imbalances that can then lead to structural changes throughout the body like a domino effect.
