Do you suffer from various aches and pains, but don’t know what causes them? There’s a chance you might have a condition called swayback posture. Swayback is a stance involving the incorrect alignment of the pelvis and a curved lower back. It’s best fixed once detected because it causes back pain, muscle tension, disk bulges, headaches, and arthritis.
Neck pain is a common affliction that can be caused by a variety of factors. While many of these factors take care of themselves over time, a few require more proactive measures. Particularly if the pain is caused by spinal compression or by a damaged or diseased disk located in the cervical spine (the portion of the spine that includes the neck), surgery may become the recommended course of action.
While neck pain affects approximately ten percent of the population at any given time, it’s rarely associated with any life-threatening conditions. Most neck pain will go away within a few weeks, with nearly 90 percent of individuals who have experienced neck pain reporting no lasting discomfort after two months. By developing a better understanding of neck pain, ranking behind back pain as the primary complaint of patients at doctor’s offices in the United States, you’ll know what to expect if you happen to experience a sudden pain in the neck.

Although most causes of back pain in men are due to aging and overuse, there are other conditions that need to be ruled out when back pain is persistent. Here are some other, sometimes overlooked, disorders that can cause back pain in men.
