First of all, you must understand a few things. There are different types of back pain and there are many causes. It can be difficult to diagnose the initial culprit of your pain. There is back pain that is cause by degeneration or a herniated intervertebral disk, pain caused by strain, stress, diseases, bad posture, over exertion, even weight gain.
