Whenever there is wear, injury or disease, symptoms range from mild discomfort to crippling pain. Back pain is a common cause for work disabilities and one of the reasons that we might be forced to abandon a healthy and active lifestyle.

Spine pain symptoms include dull aches, shooting pain, stiffness and limited motion in the neck, back or lower back, inability to stand with proper posture and radiating pain down one or both arms and/or legs. The spine can be injured by improper lifting techniques, accidents, sudden movements or falls. The loss of cartilage in the discs between spinal bones due to age, overuse, poor posture, arthritis, osteoarthritis or degenerative disease may cause symptoms without a previous traumatic incident.
