It is estimated that 8 out of 10 people have suffered or will suffer from back pain at least once in their lifetime.
The term "back" is generally used to mean the lower part of the spinal column, the part most prone to injury. However, the upper back and neck can suffer damage.

While the back's lower, or lumbar region suffers from strain due to over activity and awkward movements, upper back and neck pain occurs from just the opposite: a lack of activity.
Not all back problems are bone and muscle-related. Some conditions can indirectly affect the spinal column without actually being located in that particular part of the body.
Rheumatoid arthritis, for example, or myofascial syndrome are two common crippling diseases in this category.
