The Common Culprits of Back Pain

Back pain can occur from a variety of causes or a combination of factors. However, most back pain involves damage to the back’s structural components, such as the ligaments, vertebrae, discs, and nerves. Both significant injuries and subtle movements can aggravate your back—even the simple act of picking up a book in an awkward way can cause back pain. Additionally, health factors such as autoimmune diseases, stress, obesity, and other lifestyle choices can exacerbate back pain. Some of the most common underlying conditions that cause 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 complex nature of back pain can make it challenging to pinpoint the exact cause of your pain. Ultimately, meeting with a skilled spine specialist is the best way to understand the root cause of your pain.

 

Seeking Medical Attention for Your Back Pain

Depending on the underlying cause or factors at play, back pain can present both mild and severe symptoms. Individuals with mild cases may experience muscle aches while those with more severe cases may experience debilitating pain in a specific region of their spine. Most back pain cases are acute, meaning they are short-lasting and respond well to rest, over-the-counter medications, and conservative therapies. However, other cases are chronic, meaning they persist for weeks or months without relief. If your pain does not subside within a month, it’s essential to seek medical attention. Additionally, you should seek prompt medical attention if any of the following conditions are present:

  • Your pain doesn’t improve with rest and continues to cause severe discomfort
  • You are experiencing feelings of numbness or tingling in your legs
  • Your pain is accompanied by a fever, bladder problems, or unexplained weight loss
  • You were recently involved in a serious accident

An experienced spine expert will identify the cause of your pain and get you on an effective treatment plan.
