Cause pain the muscles of the back:
The development of diseases of the muscles: scoliosis, osteochondrosis, arthrosis, rheumatism. They all lead to the fact that muscles get tired, and it causes the person discomfort. Disease discomfort seem to be a trapezoid and the length in the direction of the muscles.

The presence of congenital malformations. For example, a syndrome of short legs in humans, deformed spine, and there are diseases of the intestine. Painful sensations are unpleasant, and they appear from time to time, but due to the fact that pathology is developing rapidly, the pain the person is improved.

The risk of osteoarthritis, that it leads to degenerative lesions and destruction of bone tissue, intervertebral discs and articular cartilage.
The reasons for the development of osteoarthritis as follows:
