Low back pain can often
be attributed to complex origins and symptoms,
and it does not discriminate. It can originate
from identified muscle trauma, or an unknown non-traumatic
event. Low back pain can also begin in other regions
of the body and eventually attack the muscles
or other structures in the lower back. Sometimes
low back pain can even begin in the nerves or
nervous system. Other origins for low back pain
are postneural difficulties, congenital disorders,
trauma, infections, degenerative disorders, inflammatory
diseases, circulatory disorders or any of other
30 additional causes.
It is often difficult
for physicians to pinpoint the exact cause of
a patient's low back pain, because of the complex
composition of the human spine. Bone, discs, muscles,
ligaments, tendons and various other tissues are
arranged like a three-dimensional puzzle to make
up the spine. The complex make up can easily mask
the exact cause of low back pain.

In addition, depression,
anxiety, frustration, reinforcement, stress, anger,
fear and many other psychological states can help
to cause the onset of back pain, can be a reaction
to prolonged pain, or exist concurrently with
pain.
The emotional component
can complicate the back pain diagnosis, sometimes
resulting in needless surgery and disability and
can sometimes mask the underlying physical causes
of pain.
