The main causes of back pain are -

The joint space is impossibly reduced in severe cases causing extensive reduction in range of movement. Osteoarthritis generally affects the knee joints and vertebral column of the females as low estrogen levels cause extensive joint erosion and calcium depletion (osteoporosis)after menopause. The knee joint is no more able to bear the weight of the entire body and ultimately the joint space is reduced. Loosing some weight is the key to treat osteoarthritis is obese patients. Quadriceps muscles (thigh) muscle strengthening exercises are recommended to increase the joint support. Nutrition plays a very important role in all the degenerative diseases like osteoarthritis. Natural calcium and vitamins like Aloe vera juice is recommended along with other herbs for osteoarthritis. Long distance walk, climbing of stairs, squating, sitting on knees is forbidden in cases of osteoarthritis. Massage with anti-inflammatory oils is recommended.
2. Sciatica - It is a condition in which the sciatic nerve is pressed upon by the protruding disc,which can prolapse out of the intervertebral space due to injury or pull. The disc can also bulge out of the intervertebral space because of the prolonged wrong posture and degenerative osteoarthritis causing severe back pain radiating towards back of the legs upto to the feet sometimes.
