What is the Cause of My Back Pain?

A number of different things can cause back pain. Sometimes, the cause of back pain can be as simple as an unusual sleeping position or picking up something too heavy, but there are other causes that are more serious.

Our spines are made up of four different sections, each with its own risk for pain. The four regions of the spine are the cervical, lumbar, thoracic, and sacral regions, with most people experiencing pain in the lumbar portion, also known as the lower back. The following are some of the most common causes of back pain:

• Accidents resulting in injuries
• Spinal stenosis
• Radical radiculopathy
• Degenerative disc disease
• Herniated or slipped discs

Other common causes of back pain include stress, obesity, or inflammatory conditions. In any case of back pain, it is crucial to speak with an experienced spine doctor to decide what treatment is right for you.

When to See a Doctor About Back Pain

Most people may brush off their back pain and assume it will just go away on its own. While that is often the case, if your back pain persists, it may be time to call a doctor. The following are signs it is time to get in contact with the experienced spine surgeons at NJ Spine and Orthopedic:

• Your pain persists past a few weeks of rest
• You are experiencing pain, numbness, or tingling in one or both of your legs
• You have a fever
• You have lost considerable weight
• You are experiencing bladder or bowel incontinence

In some rare cases, back pain can be a symptom of a more deadly issue such as cancer. This is why it is so important to seek the help of a medical professional as soon as you realize your back pain is more than just a simple ache.
