Back pain is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide and one of the most common reasons people go to their doctor.

Millions of people experience back pain at some point in their lives, making simple, everyday living a challenge.

Back pain can range from a dull and constant ache to a sudden and sharp pain that makes it hard to move. It can start quickly after an accident or injury, or it can be just a slight ache at first and then worsen slowly over time. It can occur in the neck or in the upper or lower back, and it can radiate down the arm or the leg (a condition called sciatica). Depending on its underlying cause or condition, back pain can go away by itself with simple home remedies and self-care, or it can require medical attention or even surgery.
