Maybe you recognise the feeling that after a long day of work you have a terrible aching pain in the
lower or upper part of your back, you might wake up with a lot of pain and stiffness and need to
move around before it eases
...
It could be after picking something up
from the ground or while cleaning or working in your garden you might had felt a twinge in your
lower back
...
Our back is a combination of many different structures, our spine is made
up of a column of bony blocks which sit on top of one another, between each of these bones there is
a flexible cushion (disc) that makes the spine able to move and bend, and at last we have the nerves
and muscles
...

What Causes Back Pain?
Most back troubles happen because of bad habits, generally developed over a long period of time
...

• Diseases such as Osteoporosis or Osteoarthritis
...
These strains can happen anywhere along the back, but most of them tend to occur in the
curve of the lower back or at the neck
...
Some pain might occur due to an injury,
involving pulling, twisting or overuse/repetitive damage
...
