Back Pain
- The backbone is made up of small bones called vertebrae. A spinal segment is composed of two vertebrae: the intervertebral disk between the two vertebra and the two nerve roots that leave the spinal cord, one from each side.
- Back pain is a symptom that can arise from many causes. Many cases of back pain are caused by stresses on the muscles and ligaments that support the spine. A low back problem may come on suddenly or gradually.
- Many people may not need to see a health care provider right away. Often, within a few days, the symptoms go away without any treatment. A visit to your health care provider is a good idea if and when symptoms are severe, the pain is keeping you from doing things that you do every day, and/or the problem does not go away within a few days.

more serious and a health care professional should be consulted.
