What Are the Causes of Back Pain & Lower Back Pain?
Most people don’t think of their backs as being particularly complex systems—but they are. From the disks that make up your spine to the muscles and ligaments that allow your back to stay flexible enough for you to move about comfortably, there are numerous parts of your back that are vulnerable to pain.
Possible Causes
That’s why there are so many possible causes of back pain and lower back pain, including:
- Sprains and strains
- Ruptured or bulging spinal discs
- Muscle spasms or tension
- Back injuries
- Arthritis
- Scoliosis
How Are Back Pain & Lower Back Pain Treated In The Medical Field?
The treatment that your healthcare provider will recommend for your back pain depends on the circumstances. You may be prescribed a pain reliever or muscle relaxant—or even over-the-counter medication—in order to relieve the immediate pain. If you are engaging in any activities that may be exacerbating your back pain, such as heavy lifting, your healthcare provider may recommend that you alter your current schedule. In many cases, physical therapy and certain prescribed exercises may also help you find lasting relief from your back pain.
