Back pain: Symptoms, causes & treatment
Back pain is a common complaint that can affect different people in different ways. Here we talk through the common symptoms, causes and treatment.
Back pain is by far the most common reason that people come for physiotherapy and is often misunderstood.
Back pain accounts for 40% of working days that are missed and around one-third of the UK population will experience it every year.
Lower back pain, or what we call pain in the lumbar spine, is the most common. The majority of back pain is not caused by anything serious and it is important to remember that it is not a ‘disease’.
