Common Causes of Back Pain

Understanding the source

Back pain can range from a dull, constant ache to a sudden, sharp pain that makes it difficult to move. The underlying cause varies wildly, often rooted in muscle strains, structural issues, or nerve irritation.

  • Sciatica and nerve compression
