What Causes Back Pain?
There are several potential causes of back pain, and identifying the source of your pain is crucial for relief. Typically, back pain can be attributed to mechanical problems, injuries, or chronic conditions. More rarely it is tied to tumors and cancer.
Your spine is a complex structure of bones, joints, ligaments, and muscles. Anything that damages these joints and tissues can lead to inflammation, which spurs the release of inflammatory chemicals causing pain. Damaged, inflamed tissues may also irritate or place direct pressure on the spinal nerves, leading to radiating pain, numbness, and tingling in the extremities.
Spinal nerves can also be irritated or pinched after disc herniation. This occurs when the inside of spinal disc leaks out of the tougher exterior or when the connective tissue between the bone and disc separate (endplate junction failure). Disc herniation develops with the wear and tear of aging, or after a traumatic event like an auto accident or sports injury.
Here are some of the most common causes of back pain we see in our Henderson clinic:
Disc herniation, ruptured discs, and degenerative disc disease
Arthritis (including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis)
Lifting heavy or incorrectly
Overuse injuries (including repetitive motion injuries, work injuries, and sports injuries)
Muscle strains and tears
Auto accident injuries, falls, and other traumatic events
Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spine)
Poor posture
Sitting or standing for prolonged periods
Operating a vibrating vehicle for prolonged periods
Chronic conditions like fibromyalgia, scoliosis, and multiple sclerosis
