Back pain is everywhere. In fact, up to 80% of people will experience it at some point in their life.
But just because it’s common, doesn’t mean it’s normal. And it certainly doesn’t mean you have to live with it.
It’s also one of the biggest reasons people feel held back in life:
- The #1 cause of work-related disability in people under 45
- The 2nd most common reason for missed work
- The 5th most common reason for seeing a healthcare provider
- And right now—1 in 4 people are suffering with it
Lower back. Middle back. Upper back.
Different areas. Different triggers. But often the same frustrating story: pain that keeps coming back, no matter what you try.
What’s really causing your back pain?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. But here are some of the most common reasons we see:
- Muscle strain from lifting, twisting, or sitting too long
- Disc irritation or compression
- Chronic inflammation
- Poor movement patterns and posture habits
- Previous injuries that never healed fully
- And sometimes… no obvious cause at all (but your body knows something’s not right).
Why the usual fixes don’t work
Most people try to manage back pain with stretching, strengthening, painkillers, or rest. But if the underlying cause isn’t addressed, the pain keeps coming back—sometimes worse than before.
