The back is a complicated structure of bones, joints, ligaments and muscles. You can sprain ligaments, strain muscles, rupture disks, and irritate joints, all of which can lead to back pain. While sports injuries or accidents can cause back pain, sometimes the simplest of movements—for example, tying your shoes — can have painful results. In addition, arthritis, poor posture, obesity, and psychological stress can cause or complicate back pain.
The term sciatica describes the symptoms of back pain with pain going down your leg with or without  tingling, numbness or weakness. this type of pain usually starts in the lower back and travel through the buttock and down the large sciatic nerve in the back of the leg.
