Many of us suffer from lower back pain. I personally have had a lower back problem for many years and have been advised not to participate in many of the activities that I love to take part in. With so many of us with this type of back pain what can be done to treat it? Firstly we have to look at what system that the back is part of and look into its effects on the human body.

The back and the muscles and nerves along with the bones and tendons and ligaments are all part of the musculoskeletal system. The specialty of Orthopedics deals in this integral body system. We can imagine that when one part of our body is affected then this can have a sort of knock on effect on the rest of the body. That is why when we suffer from back pain we can have leg and arm pain as well as neck pain. All of the components of the musculoskeletal system link our body together and rely on the proper functioning and performance of the other parts in order to function and perform properly itself. Back pain that results in pain down the leg can be from sciatica and is a rather common problem.
