What Is Back Pain ?

Back pain is one of the most common medical problems, affecting 8 out of 10 people at some point of time during their lives. Back pain can range from a dull, constant ache to a sudden, sharp pain. Acute back pain comes on suddenly and usually lasts from a few days to a few weeks.If back pain is more than 3 months it is called as chronic back pain.Most back pain goes away on its own, though it may take a while. Taking over-the-counter pain relievers and resting can help. However, staying in bed for more than 1 or 2 days can make it worse.

Anatomy of Back

To understand the sources of your particular back problem and / or how to prevent back pain, it helps to understand the anatomy of your spine.

The human spine consists primarily of a line of interlocking bones called vertebrae (derived from the Latin term vertere, meaning "to turn").

Processes (bony projections) of the Vertebral Arch : -

The spinous process (projecting from the center of the vertebral arch) and the transverse processes (projecting from either side of the vertebral arch) serve as attachments for the muscles and ligaments.

The articular processes meet and interlock at the facet joints to link one vertebra with the next. Each vertebra arch has four (two superior and two inferior) articular processes.
