Causes of Back Pain
There are many different causes of back pain. By identifying the cause of your pain you can better plan your rehabilitation and treatment. Here are just a few of the more common causes of back pain:
- Muscle strain: lack of exercise or overwork can cause muscle strain and stiffening. This can in turn cause back pain to develop.
- Posture: Poor posture can impact your muscle strength over time or pull on your muscles the wrong way.
- Weight: Being overweight can put additional pressure on your body and spine. This can cause pain and make it difficult to move easily.
- Age: As you age your body slowly deteriorates. Without the right care, this can cause pain in your muscles and bones.
- Injury: Injuries may not seem serious at the time, but spinal injuries are always a cause for concern. Without the right treatment, your back can worsen over time.
These are just a few of the more common causes of back pain. Many other conditions can also cause back pain such as arthritis, cancer or tumours.
