Common Back Pain Conditions
Back pain may occur for several reasons. But the most common causes of chronic back pain are muscle strains, ligament sprains, and muscle cramps. You may experience a strain or sprain while lifting heavy objects or because of poor posture and sudden movements of the body.
1
Arthritis: Osteoarthritis is the most common root cause of back pain, especially lower back pain. In some cases, arthritis can also lead to the narrowing of the spaces around the spinal canal, leading to spinal stenosis and other complications.
2
Scoliosis: One of the most common conditions that produce back pain is scoliosis, a condition in which the spine curves to the right or left side of the body.
3
Sciatica: Sciatica pain is a sharp pain that starts from the lower back and extends down the buttocks to the feet, usually because of the irritation of the sciatic nerve because of bulging or herniated discs. The pain may occur on one or both legs.
4
Slip Disk: You may suffer from a slip disc because of bulging or ruptured intervertebral discs, which makes the soft inner components leak outwards and pinch the spinal nerves. A slipped or bulging disc places excessive pressure on the spinal nerves, leading to chronic back pain.
Who is at Risk of Suffering from Back Pain?
Back pain can occur to any individual and any age, but it’s mostly common amongst individuals over 35 years of age. The gradual age-related wear and tear of spinal components, such as the spinal cord, intervertebral discs, and bones, lead to chronic back pain. Individuals leading active lifestyles can delay the onset of back pain, compared to those leading sedentary lives, but most people have an increased risk of back pain as they get older.
