Spinal Stenosis: This condition results from the narrowing of the spinal canal, putting pressure on the nerves and causing back pain. 5. Fibromyalgia: Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain syndrome that causes muscle stiffness and fatigue, including back pain.

Muscle Strain or Ligament Sprain: Repeated heavy lifting or sudden awkward movements can strain the muscles and spinal ligaments. If you’re in poor physical condition, constant strain on your back can cause painful muscle spasms. 2. Bulging or Ruptured Discs: Discs, the cushioning between your bones, can bulge or herniate and press on a nerve. THE ROOT CAUSES OF BACK PAIN
