Common Causes of Back Pain
JOINT SPRAINS
Joint sprains occur when the ligaments surrounding the joints in the back are stretched or torn due to overextension or sudden movements.
MUSCULAR STRAIN
A muscular strain happens when the muscles or tendons in the back are overstretched or torn. This may occur due to improper lifting, overuse, or sudden movements.
DISC INJURIES
Disc injuries involve damage to the intervertebral discs, such as herniation or bulging. Disc injuries can occur from a sudden trauma or can happen gradually over time.
SCIATICA
Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back, through the buttock and down the back of the leg.
RIB PAIN OR INJURY
Rib pain or injury involves damage to the muscles, ligaments, or bones around the ribs. This may occur due to trauma, postural issues or even excessive coughing.
POSTURAL STRAIN
Postural strain can occur from maintaining poor posture for extended periods of time. Over time, this can put excessive stress on the muscles, ligaments, and spine, leading to pain, discomfort, and stiffness.
ARTHRITIS
Arthritis refers to inflammation and pain in the joints of the lower back. Over time this can lead to joint degeneration, reduced flexibility, and discomfort, particularly in the lower back or neck.
