Back Pain
Nowadays, back pain has become a common problem. Boys and girls, old and young, everyone is suffering from this problem. Sitting for long periods of time, lifting heavy objects, sleeping incorrectly, and sometimes even an injury can cause back pain. In this article, we learn in detail about the causes, remedies, and preventive measures of back pain.
Causes of back pain:
- Stretches in muscles and ligaments: Lifting heavy objects or moving in the wrong way suddenly can cause stretches in the muscles and ligaments. This can cause sharp pain and cramps.
