Back Pain

Back pain includes lower back pain, middle back pain, upper back pain, or low back pain with sciatica. Nerve and muscular problems, degenerative disc disease, and arthritis can result in back pain. Back pain symptoms may be relieved with pain medication or pain killers.

Often back pain doesn’t have one simple cause but may be due to one or more of the following:

• poor posture
• lack of exercise resulting in stiffening of the spine and weak muscles
• muscle strains or sprains.
