Back Pain

Severe or temporary low back pain may last a few days to a few weeks. Intense back pain usually results from trauma to the lower back or a disorder such as arthritis. Trauma to the back may stem from a sports injury, doing household chores or working in the garden, or a car accident.

Symptoms include:

• Aching to shooting or stabbing pain in the muscles
• Restricted range of motion or flexibility
• Incapability to stand straight

Chronic back pain is defined as pain that continues for more than three months. Many times the pain worsens and its cause difficult to determine.
