Yes it can. Nowadays back pain is very common in our society. The main reason of this pain is poor posture, prolonged period of sitting activities, weak muscles, no stretching exercises or any accident. Medicines will give you temporary relief. As soon as you will stop taking medications you might experience the same pain again.
Next Steps
Improve your posture, avoid lifting heavy objects in wrong position, avoid jerky movements, do exercise regularly.
Health Tips
Try to consult your nearby physiotherapist for proper assessment and exercises.
