ABOUT BACK PAIN
There are many various types of back pain, some related to the joints, connective tissue, muscles, and nerves of the back. There are various causes for back pain including lifestyle issues, physical fitness, being overweight and the type of work someone does. Pain is the most common symptom in back pain with 1 in 6 (4 million) Australians having reported back pain (2017-2018) in a national health survey.
