Live long enough, and eventually you will have back pain. There are several major causes of back pain: muscle strain; fractures, tumors, or infections of the spine; and arthritis. Spinal stenosis  occurs when the spinal canal is too narrow. A herniated disk  occurs when the disk that cushions the space between spinal bones pushes against nerves. This causes a condition called lumbar radiculopathy  (sciatica).
