Back
Back pain is extremely common, affecting 80% of people at some stage in their lives.
In addition to localised pain, the lower back can also refer pain to the hip, groin, leg and foot. Spinal discs, muscles, ligaments, bones and nerve tissue can all contribute to back pain.
The causes of back pain can include:
- Poor posture.
- Prolonged or repetitive sitting, bending or lifting.
- Weakness due to lack of exercise or being overweight.
- During pregnancy.
- Trauma such as a falls, sporting collisions or a motor vehicle accident.
