What causes Back Pain?

Most people have back pain at least once in their lifetime. Minor sprains, strains or injuries, or an irritated nerve causes most cases of back pain. In certain cases, illness such as arthritis, tumors or kidney stones can cause back pain. Back pain can come on suddenly and last less than six weeks (acute). Back pain that lasts more than three months is chronic, and calls for professional help

Treatments You can try

Use ice pack or heat in case of back pain. Bed rest isn't recommended. It is also advisable to use pain-relieving ointments and sprays in case of elevated pain. In case of chronic pain visit your Physiotherapist. A Physiotherapist can apply a variety of treatments, such as heat, ultrasound, electrical stimulation and muscle-release techniques to reduce pain.
