Back pain and discomfort are common issues that affect millions of people globally, ranging from mild to debilitating.
Overview
Back pain and discomfort are common issues that affect millions of people globally, ranging from mild to debilitating. It can stem from various causes, impacting the muscles, nerves, bones, or discs of the spine. While back pain can occur suddenly due to injury, it can also develop gradually from poor posture, wear and tear, or underlying medical conditions. Addressing the root cause is crucial for effective treatment and prevention of future episodes.
What are the causes of Back Pain & Discomfort?
Slouching or sitting for prolonged periods in a poor position can strain the muscles and ligaments in your back, leading to chronic discomfort. Over time, this can contribute to structural issues in the spine.
Overexertion, heavy lifting, or sudden movements can lead to muscle strain or ligament sprains. These strains often result in sharp or acute back pain and can limit mobility until the muscles heal.
A herniated or slipped disc occurs when the soft inner material of a spinal disc bulges out through its tougher exterior. This can compress nearby nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness, particularly in the lower back.
As people age, the spinal discs can lose hydration and flexibility, leading to a breakdown of the discs (degenerative disc disease). This wear and tear can result in chronic back pain and discomfort.
Accidents, falls, or sports injuries can cause fractures, sprains, or spinal misalignments, leading to acute or chronic back pain. These injuries often require medical intervention for proper recovery.
