Back pain, also known as dorsalgia, lumbago or even kidney pain, is a common complaint affecting the back from the lower neck to the pelvis.
Back pain is very common: 80% of French people will experience back pain at least once in their lives.most often, back pain has a mechanical origin: muscle contractures, the after-effects of trauma or osteoarthritis.
A "wrong" movement (rotation, flexion, straightening, upward movement of the arms, a fall, carrying heavy loads without precautions, etc.) during physical activity, remaining immobile in a bad position (long car journey, prolonged work on a computer, etc.) or repetitive movements explain back pain.
Other factors can also contribute to back pain, such as excess weight, lack of physical activity or stress.

- Place the warm compress on your back or hip and adjust it as needed. When you're comfortable, secure the compress by fastening the small clips.
