What causes Spine Pain? 

Spine pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

  2. Spinal injuries: Fractures, herniated discs, or other injuries to the spine can cause pain.
  3. Degenerative conditions: Osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis, and other degenerative conditions can cause pain as the spine wears down over time.
  4. Poor posture: Slouching or sitting in a hunched position for long periods of time can cause strain on the muscles and ligaments of the back, leading to pain.
  5. Overuse: Repetitive motions or overexertion can cause strain on the muscles and ligaments in the back, leading to pain.
  6. Other medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as fibromyalgia or scoliosis, can cause spine pain.
