Why is lower back pain so common? It seems everyone I know has back pain!

Back pain seems to be the most common musculoskeletal complaint in the Western world. Doctors see more back pain than any other muscle or bone-related condition. There are many explanations as to why back pain occurs, from trauma to wear-and-tear of the spine. Lifestyle plays a role in back pain as well. We don't move as much as generations before us. Add to that an unhealthy lifestyle that leads to carrying too much weight, this can all equal lower back pain.
