There are many causes of lower or upper back pain, such as poor posture, strenuous exercise schedules, psychological stress, and more serious reasons such as nerve damage, obesity, arthritis, and failed back surgery. Sometimes, back pain can be treated with physical therapy, home remedies, injections, and over the counter medication.

Despite being diagnosed as a "disease", degenerative disc disease is more of a condition that occurs naturally in an aging body. Degenerative disc disease is an age-related condition where one or more intervertebral discs degenerate over time as people grow older. This degeneration causes a wear and tear of the spinal discs, which are like the shock absorbers between the bones while enabling the flexible movement of the body.
