Back pain

Back pain is a common ailment that affects a significant portion of the population at some point in their lives. It can vary from mild discomfort to severe, debilitating pain that impacts daily activities. The causes of back pain are numerous and diverse, often involving the spine, muscles, nerves, or ligaments. Understanding the specific causes can help in managing and treating the condition effectively. 

Here are five common causes of back pain:

• Muscle or Ligament Strain: Repeated heavy lifting or a sudden awkward movement can strain back muscles and spinal ligaments. The strain can lead to spasms and discomfort, significantly affecting one’s ability to move freely.
• Bulging or Ruptured Disks: Disks act as cushions between the bones (vertebrae) in your spine. A disk bulges or ruptures, it can press on a nerve, causing back pain. However, it’s possible to have bulging or ruptured disks without back pain.
• Arthritis: Osteoarthritis can affect the lower back. In some cases, arthritis in the spine can lead to a narrowing of the space around the spinal cord, a condition called spinal stenosis, causing pain.
• Skeletal Irregularities: Conditions like scoliosis, a curvature of the spine, can lead to back pain, especially if the spinal curve is severe.
• Osteoporosis: Your spine’s vertebrae can develop painful fractures if your bones become porous and brittle due to osteoporosis.Preventive measures for back pain include maintaining a healthy weight, practicing proper lifting techniques, staying active, and strengthening the core muscles that support the spine. Regularly engaging in exercises that improve flexibility and strength can also prevent back pain by enhancing the spine’s resilience and reducing the likelihood of injury.
