📖What is Back Pain?

Back pain is discomfort or aching felt anywhere along the spine, from the neck to the lower back, and is one of the most common reasons people seek medical care. It can be a dull, constant ache or a sharp, shooting pain, and may be localized or radiate into the buttocks or legs. Most back pain is related to muscle strain and improves within a few weeks with conservative care.
