Back pain can occur along the spine—from the neck and upper back down to the tailbone. Overuse, poor posture, medical conditions, or injuries—the causes are varied. Specialists distinguish between:
- Non-specific back pain is the most common type. In these cases, no clear physical cause can be identified.
- Specific back pain is based on a clearly identifiable medical condition.
A precise medical diagnosis is important for targeted treatment.
