1. What is Backache
There is hardly anyone who has not experienced a backache
these days. And it is quite painful and excruciating too.
Therefore it’s no surprise that people try really hard to cure
any spinal problem that causes backache.

2. Types of Back Pain
Backache can be short-term, lasting a
few days, or long-term, lasting a few
months or years. The main support
structure of the back is the spine, which
is made up of 33 vertebrae. The spinal
cord runs down the centre of all these
vertebrae, carrying nerves from the
brain to the rest of the body.

3. Backache Signs
and
Symptoms
Usually, backache is marked by pain in
the lower back; how long your
symptoms last determines the
severity of the pain:
• Acute backache: less than
6 Weeks.
• Sub-acute backache: 6 weeks
to 3 months
• Chronic backache: more than
3 months
Medical help ought to be urgently
sought if backache is accompanied by
symptoms like fever, swelling, pain
and numbness down your legs, rising
or constant pain, or loss of bladder or
bowel control.

4. Causes of Backache
Our lifestyle often put a lot of strain on our
backs. Some factors that cause or aggravate
backache are poor posture, stress, being
overweight, lifting heavy objects, or staying
in one posture for long periods. Other
serious causes of backaches include:
•Fracture, caused by a trip or fall.
•Osteoporosis: weak and brittle bones
because of low bone density.
•Slipped Disc: dislocated disc putting pressure
on spinal nerves.
•Spinal Stenosis: condition caused by
narrowing of spaces in your spine.
•Degenerative Disc Disease: discs in your
spinal cord get worn out.
•Osteoarthritis: wear-and-tear disease
particularly affecting the joints of your spine.
•Rheumatoid Arthritis: inflammatory
condition in which lining of joints and
surrounding structures get inflamed.
