Back pain: womans hand held to her lower back
Back pain. Posterior view of the naked torso of a woman, her hand held to her aching lower back. Back pain (lumbago) usually affects most people at some stage of their lives. It is commonly caused by strain, resulting in temporary injury to soft tissues (such as tendons, muscles and ligaments) around bones of the spine. People who lift heavy objects, or those who spend long periods sitting in one position, are most likely to suffer from back pain. Treatment includes change of posture when resting or lifting objects, and taking pain- killing drugs. Severe or persistent back pain may indicate a more serious disorder such as arthritis or slipped disc

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the reality of back pain, as a woman's hand is seen firmly pressed against her lower back. Back pain, known as lumbago, is a common affliction that affects most individuals at some point in their lives. It often occurs due to strain and can result in temporary injury to the soft tissues surrounding the spine. The image highlights two main causes of back pain: lifting heavy objects and prolonged periods of sitting in one position. Those engaged in physically demanding work or those with sedentary lifestyles are particularly susceptible to this discomfort. Treatment for back pain involves adopting proper posture when resting or handling objects, along with the use of pain-killing medication. However, severe or persistent cases may indicate more serious underlying conditions such as arthritis or a slipped disc. This photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining good spinal health and taking preventive measures against back pain. By raising awareness about this widespread issue, we hope to encourage individuals to prioritize their well-being by practicing safe lifting techniques and incorporating regular exercise into their routines.
