Now that we know the types, let's meet the villains behind back pain!
– Muscle Strain/Sprain: Lifting heavy objects incorrectly or hunching over can strain back muscles and ligaments.
– Degenerative Disc Disease: As we age, discs between our vertebrae (spinal bones) can wear down, causing pain.
– Poor Posture: Slouching puts undue stress on your back muscles, leading to pain over time.
