Pain in the back, in the area between the shoulders and the waist. Dorsal pain (dorsalgia) can have various causes: degenerative (such as osteoarthritis), inflammatory (such as spondyloarthritis), mechanical, traumatic (such as fractures), related to poor posture (such as kyphoscoliosis), or due to osteoporosis (bone tissue thinning), which can occur post-menopause or in old age.
