Back pain in adults is often caused by poor posture, improper lifting, a decrease in flexibility, or deterioration of overall physical fitness. Most back injuries result from months or years of accumulated spinal stress, rather than a one-time injury. To learn more about treatment and prevention of back injuries, talk to your physical therapist or physician.
