Cause Of Lower Back Pain
3 Common Causes of Lower Back Pain
Low Back Pain keeps you from enjoying the small things in life such as spending time with your kids, taking your pooch on his daily walk, playing a game of golf with your buds, or just lounging in your favorite chair watching television. Almost every movement you make involves the use of the muscles in your back.
So naturally, when your back is injured, the quality of your life will suffer drastically. Here are some common Causes Of Lower Back Pain.
Improper Use of the Back Muscles
The most common causes of back pain are strains and sprains from injuries to the back due to improper use of muscles. Back muscles can inadvertently be injured from engaging in day-to-day activities such as heavy lifting, picking up children, improper bending, toting an oversized purse, slouching in your chair, sitting for long periods of time, and sleeping on a rickety old mattress.
Being overweight can also put extra strain on the muscles in your back and cause lower back pain. The onset of pain from strains and sprains can come immediately, or days later. When the muscles in your back are injured, they will knot-up, or spasm in an effort to prevent more damage. These spasms result in severe low back pain, and difficulty moving.
Slipped or Herniated Discs
Slipped discs, also known as herniated discs can result from several things including trauma to the back, disc degeneration, aging, sudden twisting movements, excessive pressure on the disk from heavy lifting, and being overweight. A slipped disc in the back puts pressure on the nerves, causes inflammation, and varying degrees of back pain.
A herniated disc can affect more than just the lower back area. If the damaged disc puts pressure on the Sciatic Nerve, it results in a condition known as sciatica. Sciatica causes burning and needle-like pains that shoot from the lower back, all the way down the distance of the back of the leg.
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition that can affect several parts of the body, including the back. This condition doesn’t happen overnight; it gradually causes deterioration of the discs between the vertebrae that cushion the bones. Once these disks deteriorate, the vertebrae will press against each other and cause Back Pain And discomfort.
Osteoarthritis is more common in older people because the body changes as you age. Body parts travel south, skin starts to thin, and your bones become more fragile due to calcium loss. This loss of calcium makes your bones brittle and more prone to compression fractures that put you at risk For Back Pain.
Strains and sprains from improper muscle use, slipped discs, and osteoarthritis can all cause pain in your back. Thankfully, technological advances and improvements in modern medicine have made it possible for chiropractors to offer their patients several choices to manage or end debilitating back pain for good.
If you have pain in your lower back, don’t suffer in silence. Contact a Back Pain Specialist to ask about available treatment options.
