Your back is made up of bones that are stacked like blocks (the vertebrae which protects your spinal cord) and muscles. The spinal cord runs down the middle, and between the vertebrae nerves extend from the spinal cord to the left and right. Disks act as spongy shock absorbers by sitting between the vertebrae. Several layers of muscle cover the back, and ligaments and tendons support the vertebrae, supporting posture and giving the body movement and flexibility. Damage to any one of these structures can cause Back Pain. Back Pain can also be caused from referred pain from elsewhere or postural problems e.g. pes planus (flat feet). See Orthotics. Back pain can be caused by a more serious underlying condition but is less likely and our osteopaths would ask investigatory questions to identify and try an eliminate this.
