What are the main problems?
Modern thinking is that strains and misalignment of muscles are a major problem, particularly in young people – and this is where fitness comes in. By keeping the muscle well-toned, we minimize the risk.
Prolapsed discs – what used to be called slipped discs – are another source of pain. The disc itself doesn’t slip, but the tough exterior can get a defect or tear, and part of the soft interior squeezes out at the back and presses against a nerve root, causing inflammation and pain. If there is a history of prolapsed discs in your family, you are much more likely to get one yourself.
Sciatica is a pain in the legs or hips caused by pressure on a nerve from a prolapsed disc in the back. To cure sciatica, you have to address the back problem. In middle-aged and older people, osteoarthritis and the bone-thinning disease osteoporosis can cause back pain
