Understanding Backache: Causes, Prevention, and Treatment

Back pain is a leading cause of discomfort worldwide, affecting people across age groups. Whether it’s a dull ache or sharp pain, understanding the causes and solutions is crucial to leading a pain-free life.



Common Causes of Backache:



1. Poor Posture: Slouching while sitting or standing can strain your back muscles and spine.





2. Sedentary Lifestyle: Prolonged sitting weakens core muscles, increasing the risk of back pain.





3. Injuries: Sudden movements or accidents can lead to muscle strains or slipped discs.





4. Medical Conditions: Osteoporosis, arthritis, or sciatica often contribute to chronic back pain.







Preventive Tips for a Healthy Back:



Maintain Proper Posture: Sit and stand straight, ensuring your spine’s natural curve is supported.



Stay Active: Engage in regular low-impact exercises like walking, swimming, or yoga to strengthen your back.



Lift Correctly: Always bend your knees and keep your back straight when lifting heavy objects.



Sleep Right: Use a mattress that supports your back and sleep in a comfortable position.
