Back pain is not always about one single problem. In many cases, it develops over time. Poor posture, weak muscles, long sitting hours, or even stress can lead to discomfort in the lower back.

Sometimes, it is a sudden strain. Sometimes, it develops gradually.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), lower back pain affects more than 600 million people worldwide and is one of the leading causes of disability. This number is expected to rise further in the coming years.

So yes, it’s common. Very common.
