A member asked:

Is back pain caused by inactive lifestyle inflammatory or mechanical?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely mostly mechanical but also some inflammatory effects. When you are inactive and sit a lot with poor posture, there are a lot of mechanical stresses on your back that can cause pain but chronic mechanical stress on the back does cause some inflammation too.
