Back Pain – a Very Common Disease

Everyone gets back pain once in their life. The burden the back must bear may have age dependent reasons. During mid-life, a herniated disk is usually the most common reason for back pain. This problem is commonly found amoung 35 to 45 year old men. Older people usually suffer from arthritis of the intervertebral joints or stenosis of the spinal canal. Furthermore, bad posture, genetic factors or psychosomatic problems may cause back pain.
