Backache

Backache is a common type of pain that affects the back and can range from mild discomfort to a severe and debilitating condition. It is often caused by poor posture, lifting heavy objects, or injury, but can also be the result of medical conditions such as arthritis or osteoporosis.

Symptoms may include stiffness, soreness, or sharp pain in the back. It can also cause limited mobility or difficulty standing or sitting for extended periods.

Treatment options depend on the underlying cause and severity of the pain. Mild cases may respond to self-care measures such as rest, gentle exercise, and over-the-counter pain medication. For more severe cases, physical therapy, prescription medication, or in some cases, surgery, may be necessary.

Preventative measures to reduce the risk of backache include maintaining good posture, engaging in regular exercise, avoiding heavy lifting, and taking frequent breaks when sitting for extended periods. If you experience persistent or severe backache, it is important to seek medical attention to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
