Back pain results from many different causes and many different structures in your spine can be causing the pain you are experiencing. We call these structures the "pain generators". The position you find that eases your pain helps us to determine whether the parts of the spine that are causing the pain are in the back of the spine or in the front of the spine - or both. This information helps to determine which exercises may aggravate your pain and should be avoided if possible. The content of this field is kept private and will not be shown publicly.
