One of the most common reasons people see a doctor is for back pain. Statistics show that almost 4 out of every 5 people will experience back pain sometime in their lives but unfortunately, most of the time, the exact cause of the back pain can not be determined.

Back pain can be the result of a number of different causes sich as injury, muscle strain, bad posture, muscle disorders, compressed or fractured disks, overuse of the back muscles, among other things.

People who do repetitive lifting, construction workers, and pregnant women all have increased risk of back pain.
