What causes back pain?
Numerous factors can contribute to the development of back pain.
Sometimes back pain occurs suddenly, as the result of an injury to the spine or some part of the back. In other cases, chronic conditions can cause back pain, including fibromyalgia, herniated discs, autoimmune conditions, premenstrual syndrome, or arthritis.
Lifestyle factors may also contribute to back pain, like constantly poor posture, lack of exercise, or awkward sleeping positions.
In more rare cases, back pain develops due to an underlying condition, like a tumor.
