CAUSES OF BACK PAIN
Back pain usually results from a problem with one or more parts of the lower back.
The four key causes of back pain include: strain, structural problems, movement and posture, other medical conditions.
1._STRAIN
If you face any strain, tension, or injury in the muscles, it might result in back pain. Frequent causes of back pain are:
Strained muscles or ligaments
A muscle spasm
Muscle tension
Damaged disks
Injuries, fractures, or falls
Activities that can lead to strains or spasms:
Lifting something improperly
Lifting something too heavy
Making an abrupt and awkward movement
2._STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS
A number of structural problems may also result in back pain. Such as —
Ruptured disks
Bulging disks
Sciatica
Arthritis
Abnormal curvature of the spine
Osteoporosis
Kidney problems
3._MOVEMENT AND POSTURE
Adopting a very hunched sitting position can result in increased back and shoulder problems over time. Back pain can also result from some everyday activities or poor posture.
Examples Include:
Twisting
Coughing or sneezing
Muscle tension
Over-stretching
Bending awkwardly or for long periods
Pushing, pulling, lifting, or carrying something
Standing or sitting for long periods
Straining the neck forward, such as when driving or using a computer
Long driving sessions without a break, even when not hunched
Sleeping on a mattress that does not support the body and keep the spine straight
4._MEDICAL CONDITIONS
Sometimes back pain can also be caused by some medical conditions with nearby organs, such as:
Infections of the spine
Cauda equina syndrome
Cancer of the spinal cord
Arthritis
Pelvic inflammatory disease, bladder or kidney infections
Shingles
Sleep disorder
Hormonal imbalance, stress, anxiety, and mood disorders can lead to back pain.
Reasons Why Your Back Pain Could Be Lasting Longer
Like others, you assumed the pain would go away on its own...but it didn’t.
You ignored it, thinking “it’s only normal” because you’re getting older
The doctor or pharmacist suggested painkillers, which didn’t help much because, as soon as they wore off, your pain returned.
You tried other methods like therapy and yoga but didn’t continue because of slow progress.
You relied on google, YouTube, and home remedies which didn’t make any difference (or maybe even made your pain worse!)
You thought rest and a few relaxing massages would fix the pain, but it was worse, or the pain returned a few days later.
If this sounds familiar to you, we would love to help you get rid of your pain within just a few days. You can easily book a call to talk with a movement expert and Doctor of Physical Therapy to find out what can be done to help you.
