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.

- Computed Tomography (CT) scan: CT scan can provide detailed images of the spine, which can help to detect bone fractures, tumours, and other conditions that may be causing back pain.
- Electromyography (EMG): EMG can be used to evaluate nerve and muscle function and help to detect conditions such as pinched nerves or muscle disorders that may be causing back pain.
