Back pain is a pain experienced by the spinal cord in the upper or lower regions which is one of humanity's most frequent complaints.
It may have a sudden onset or can be a chronic pain that can be constant or intermittent or stay in one place or radiate to other areas. The pain may radiate into the arms and hands as well as the legs or feet, and may include symptoms other than pain.
There are several sources for the cause of back pain including sitting for longer hours, sleeping in bad posture, skipping, unhealthy diet, stress, high heels, watching too much TV etc.
By neglecting back pain initially one has to go through a very painful phase later which can only be alleviated by strong drugs to kill pain but would end up giving side effects.
Pain can be alleviated by doing regular exercises, spinal stretch eating a healthy diet and maintaining a stress free life.
