Back Pain Basics and Self-Care Tips
Back pain is usually not serious and often temporary. Most adults experience it. about 80 percent will have it, and roughly 90 percent recover within 12 weeks. Causes include arthritis, spinal stenosis, bulging disks, and muscle or ligament strain. Recovery favors continued light activity, gradual exercise, proper lifting, weight control, and avoiding prolonged poor posture. Seek care if weight loss, infection signs, neurological symptoms, trauma, cancer treatment, night pain, new bowel or bladder issues, or radio- or leg-spreading pain occur.
