Many people don't realize that you can actually get arthritis in the back but arthritis of the back is actually reported to be one of the most common causes of back pain. Arthritis is generally known as a condition resulting from wear and tear in the joints of the body. Many people are not aware that the back is made up of dozens of small joints and these joints are just as susceptible to arthritis as any other joint in the body.
Arthritis is usually found in people over 40 but can also be seen in people with previous spine injuries, obese people and those engaged in continuous heavy lifting. As with most back ailments it is important that this condition be diagnosed early before too much damage has occurred. The longer this condition goes on the greater the chance of psychological problems such as anxiety and depression.
Your doctor can help you determine whether you have arthritis or not. If you are diagnosed with arthritis of the spine, do not be alarmed. In most cases arthritis can be treated with a few simple life-style changes.
