Causes of Back Pain

Poor Posture:

Slouching while sitting or standing places undue stress on your spine and surrounding muscles. Over time, poor posture can lead to muscular imbalances and spinal misalignment, resulting in chronic pain.

Muscle

Heavy lifting, sudden movements, or overuse of the muscles can cause strain or small tears in the back muscles and ligaments.

Herniated or Bulging Discs:

The spinal discs act as cushions between the vertebrae. When a disc protrudes or ruptures, it can press on nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness, or weakness.

Arthritis:

Osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis, often affects the lower back. This condition causes the cartilage in the joints to wear down, leading to stiffness, pain, and inflammation. In severe cases, arthritis can cause spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the space around the spinal cord.

Scoliosis ៖

Scoliosis and Spinal Misalignment:

Abnormal curvatures of the spine, such as scoliosis, can cause uneven stress on the back muscles and vertebrae, leading to discomfort or chronic pain.

Sedentary Lifestyle:

Sitting for long periods, especially with poor posture, weakens the back muscles, making them more susceptible to strain and injury.

Trauma or Injury:

Accidents, falls, or sports-related injuries can damage the spine, muscles, or ligaments. In some cases, these injuries lead to chronic pain that persists long after the initial trauma has healed.
