Back pain is a normal affliction affecting up to eighty per cent of the population at some point. Back pain may be a result of mechanical causes (strains), degenerative conditions, infection, inflammation, bone disease, referred pain from other areas of the body and psychogenic pain (originating in the mind). Treatments include acupuncture, yoga, Bowen Therapy, massage, chiropractic, Alexander Technique, herbal remedies, Feldenkrais, homeopathy, and Ayurveda, as well as mainstream medication.
