BACK PAIN: AN OVERVIEW

Journal Name:

Publication Year:

Abstract (2. Language): 
Every person experiences back pain at some point in his/her lifetime. Back pain is the second most common cause of missed workdays due to illness and it is the most common cause of disability. Most of the times, back pain goes away itself over the time but in some cases it may sustain to lead to some complicated conditions. So, it is important to understand the type and nature of the pain. Pain is like a message sent along the nerves to tell the brain that something is damaging the body. Then the brain sends message to the muscles or organs to take action. Thus, it is essential to know every aspect of back pain including the reason for it, whether it is being accompanied by a burning or throbbing sensation, which part is exactly being affected by it and more such information for correct diagnosis. Back pain may be caused due to strained muscles, injured bones, ligaments and joints. But, these causes should be identified by various diagnostic tests using various mediums like X-rays, MRI and CT scans. Many people find relief from back pain through stretching exercises or alternative therapies like yoga, but chronic back pain may require medication and more intensive treatment
