Factors causing back pain

Many factors can cause back pain. Some of the most common causes include:

  • Muscular or soft tissue strain or sprain: This condition can occur due to overuse, improper lifting, or a sudden injury.
  • Poor posture: Sitting or standing in the same position for a prolonged duration or having poor posture can cause strain on the back muscles and lead to pain.
  • Degenerative conditions: As we age, the discs in our spine can degenerate and lose their cushioning ability, leading to pain and discomfort.
  • Herniated disc: When the soft centre of a disc bulges out through a tear in the outer layer, it can press on nearby nerves and cause pain.
  • Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis is a degenerative condition that affects the joints in the spine and can cause pain and stiffness.
  • Sciatica: Sciatica is a health condition that occurs when a herniated disc or bone spur on the spine presses on the sciatic nerve, causing pain that radiates down the leg.
  • Stress: High levels of stress can lead to tension in the muscles, causing pain in the back.
  • Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions like fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, and scoliosis can also lead to back pain.
