Back Pain

Back pain is a common reason for absence from work and for seeking medical treatment.

It can result from injury, activity and some medical conditions. Back pain can affect people of any age, for different reasons.

The human back is composed of a complex structure of muscles, ligaments, tendons, disks, and bones, which work together to support the body and enable us to move around. The segments of the spine are cushioned with cartilage-like pads called disks. Problems with any of these components can lead to back pain. In some cases of back pain, its cause remains unclear.
