WHAT CAUSES BACK PAIN?

Back pain can stem from numerous causes, with many of them involving musculoskeletal injuries or degeneration.

When it comes to acute back pain, strained muscles or other soft tissue injuries are often to blame. Such injuries usually cause an immediate surge of pain when the soft tissue gets overstretched or torn.

Unsafe lifting techniques, poor posture, overexertion, or moving awkwardly can all lead to these back injuries.

Most Common Causes of back pain:

There are many potential causes of back pain, ranging from simple muscle strains to more serious conditions such as herniated discs or spinal stenosis. Here are some of the most common causes of back pain:

  • Poor Posture: Prolonged sitting, standing, or lifting with improper posture can strain your back muscles and lead to pain.
  • Muscle or Ligament Strain: Heavy lifting, sudden movements, or repeated bending and twisting can cause strains in the muscles and ligaments in your lower back.
  • Herniated or Bulging Discs: The discs in your spine can bulge or herniate, causing pressure on nerves and leading to lower back pain.
  • Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal due to age or other degenerative changes can cause compression of the nerves and result in pain.
  • Osteoarthritis: Wear and tear on the joints in the lower back can cause osteoarthritis, leading to pain and stiffness.
  • Scoliosis: Abnormal curvature of the spine can cause back pain.
  • Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions such as kidney infections, endometriosis, or fibromyalgia can cause lower back pain.
  • Obesity: Carrying excess weight can put additional strain on your lower back muscles and spine.
  • Stress: Emotional and mental stress can contribute to muscle tension, leading to lower back pain.

HOW CAN I PREVENT LOWER BACK PAIN?

To prevent lower back pain, it is crucial to take care of your back. One way to do this is through regular chiropractic care and exercise to keep your spine flexible and strengthen the muscles around it. Core strengthening exercises can also help use your abdominal muscles instead of putting too much strain on your back.

Maintaining proper posture and a healthy weight can also reduce the strain on your back. It is also important to learn how to lift properly and not to overexert yourself by going beyond your limits.
