Five things that may be causing you to have back pain 

Back pain can stem from a variety of factors, ranging from simple muscle strains to more serious medical conditions.

A common cause of back pain is an injury, like a pulled muscle.

Back pain often begins as a minor discomfort but can gradually become more troublesome over time, and a new study suggests that a form of talking therapy might be able to help.

Published in The Lancet Rheumatology, the study explored the impact of cognitive functional therapy (CFT) — a type of psychotherapy to "address the causal mechanisms" of chronic lower back pain and help to change the way people think about and respond to pain.
