Answered by Dr. Shanthi E (5 hours later)

Hi XXXXXXX

The reasons for backache are many depending on the age, trauma, and pre-existing medical conditions of an individual.

Please let me know in detail about the backache, your age, current symptoms, treatment taken, et al.

I am enlisting the common reasons or causes for backache for you:

- Incorrect body posture/ back posture

- Slipped disc/herniation

- Local trauma

- Infections like Tuberculosis

- Stenosis of the spinal canal

I would like to give you a specific response, please write more about your back pain concern.

Regards,
