Common symptoms of back pain include a dull, aching sensation occurring anywhere along the spine or in the adjoining muscles. The pain sometimes radiates down to the arms, buttocks or legs. It may cause decreased range of motion and reduced ability to flex or fully straighten the back.

Causes may include structural problems, strain or misuse, improper/heavy lifting or trauma.

Conditions may include herniated disc, spondylolisthesis, spondylosis, scoliosis, sciatica or stenosis.
