Back pain is extremely common and can often be split into two ‘types’ of pain
Non-specific back pain
Non-specific means the cause of the pain cannot be identified or linked to one particular cause and is the most common. Non-specific back pain can be caused by:
- poor posture
- overstretching the back muscles during exercise
- the strain of the muscle after lifting heavy objects.
Specific back pain
Specific back pain is rare and can be caused by a variety of diseases including;
- degenerative changes
- osteoporosis
- disc bulges
Specific back pain accounts for approximately 10-15% of all back pain cases.
