    Why do we suffer from back pain?

    As we age, our bones and muscles eventually lose their elasticity and tone. They become weak and are less able to properly protect the vertebrae and have more tendency to break and spasm. When a spinal disc bulges or ruptures, it puts pressure on its surrounding nerves, which sends out pain signals to the brain. Other factors that contribute to back pain include poor posture, obesity, lack of sleep and smoking.
