Back pain can originate from irritation to any of the pain sensitive structures in the low back, intevvertebral discs, ligaments, facet joints, nerves or surrounding muscles. In the majority of cases of low back pain, management depends on careful assessment to detect any abnormality, and then appropriate treatment to correct that abnormality. A very small number of back pain cases can be caused by more serious conditions for example infection, inflamatory conditions, fracture or tumors.
