What Is Causing My Back Pain?

Back pain can arise from a variety of causes. However, most back pain is a result of damage to any of your back’s structural components, including the discs, vertebrae, and ligaments. Both traumatic injuries and subtle, awkward movements can cause damage to these components. Even the simple act of picking a book off the ground—if done in an unnatural manner—can cause back pain. In addition to physical injuries, other health factors such as inflammatory disease, excessive stress, and obesity can also cause back pain to occur.

Back pain can be the result of a variety of conditions. However, 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
  • Torn ligaments or tendons, like rotator cuff tendinitis
  • Neck and back injuries, such as whiplash
  • Failed neck or back surgery
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Degenerative disc disease

The best way to determine the underlying cause of your back pain is to consult with a skilled spine specialist.

 

When Should I Seek Medical Attention for My Back Pain?

Depending on the underlying cause, back pain can be mild or severe. Some people may experience mild symptoms, such as muscle aches, while others may experience debilitating pain in a concentrated region of the spine. Most back pain will resolve with rest or a conservative procedure. However, in some cases, back pain will persist for weeks or months. If your pain does not subside, it is important to seek medical attention. You should see a spine doctor when your pain:

  • 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

A spine expert will identify the cause of your pain and help you get on the road to recovery.
