A Complete Guide to Back Pain

The spine is a complex, interconnected structure of bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves that work together to provide stability, flexibility, and support to the body and musculoskeletal system. Back pain happens when any of these structural components is damaged by disease or injury; based on the extent of the damage, back pain can be localized to the site of injury or radiate out to the extremities. It is the most common musculoskeletal issue, as it is estimated that eight out of ten Americans will experience back pain at one point or another in their lives.
