Back injuries

Back injuries occur when the structures in your back—such as muscles, ligaments, discs, or bones—are damaged or strained. Common causes include poor posture, heavy lifting, sudden movements, or strain from overuse. Symptoms can include pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Most back injuries improve with rest, proper posture, and gentle exercise, but severe cases may require medical treatment like physical therapy or surgery. Preventing back injuries involves maintaining good posture, strengthening core muscles, and practicing safe lifting techniques.
