The right answer is B.

Back pain, when it is of mechanical origin, is treated with relaxation exercises, stretching, bodybuilding of the spine and deep self-massage on the dorso-lumbar muscles to do at least 3 times by week, ideally every day.

Inflammatory back pain is less common (1 in 20 patients). It is the consequence of an underlying autoimmune disease that can worsen over time.
