The Common Causes of Back Pain

If you are struggling with back pain that interferes with your daily quality of life, you are not alone. In fact, back pain is one of the most common reasons people see a doctor and miss work. Back pain can be caused by a variety of factors. However, most commonly is the result of damage or wear to the structural components of the back, such as the vertebrae, discs, ligaments, and joints.

Both severe injuries and subtle movements can contribute to back pain. Even the simple act of picking laundry off the floor can tweak the back muscles. In addition to physical elements, lifestyle and health factors can also be common culprits. Excessive stress, unhealthy lifestyle choices, and genetic predispositions can all place people at an increased risk for experiencing back pain. Some of the most common causes of back pain include:

  • Pinched nerves from bone spurs or spinal stenosis
  • Bulging, degenerated, or herniated discs
  • Osteoarthritis in the spine or joints
  • Sprained or strained ligaments, tendons, or muscles
  • Neck and back injuries
  • Failed neck or back surgery
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Structural damage, such as scoliosis

These are just a few of the common culprits of back pain. The best way to determine the underlying cause of your back pain is to consult with a skilled spine doctor

 

When Should I Seek Medical Attention for My Back Pain?

Back pain can present both mild and severe symptoms. For some people, the pain will include mild symptoms, such as muscle aches while others may experience more debilitating symptoms, such as severe pain with daily activities. Most cases of back pain will resolve with at-home remedies, lifestyle improvements, and over-the-counter pain medications. However, sometimes, back pain persists for weeks or months. In these scenarios, it is important to seek medical attention. Additionally, you should seek prompt medical attention if your pain meets any of the following criteria:

  • Does not improve with rest and continues to cause severe discomfort
  • Causes feelings of numbness or tingling in your legs
  • Is accompanied by a fever, bladder problems, or unexplained weight loss
  • Is the result of a serious fall or injury, such as a car accident

Scheduling an appointment with a skilled spine specialist is the best way to identify the cause of your pain and get on the road to recovery.
