Back pain is one of the most common conditions, affecting people of all ages and lifestyles. It can range from mild discomfort to chronic pain that interferes with your ability to work, sleep, and enjoy life. Your back is the central support structure of your body, and when it’s in pain, it affects your overall mobility and health.
