Common Causes of Back Pain

Back pain can have many causes, from simple muscle strain to more complex conditions. Some of the most common causes include:

• Muscle or ligament strain: Repeated heavy lifting or a sudden awkward movement can strain back muscles and spinal ligaments.
• Bulging or ruptured disks: Disks act as cushions between the bones (vertebrae) in your spine. The soft material inside a disk can bulge or rupture and press on a nerve.
• 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.
• Skeletal irregularities: Back pain can occur if your spine curves abnormally, as is the case with scoliosis.
• Osteoporosis: Your spine’s vertebrae can develop compression fractures if your bones become porous and brittle.

Symptoms of Back Pain

The symptoms of back pain can vary widely, but may include:

• Muscle ache
• Shooting or stabbing pain
• Pain that radiates down your leg
• Limited flexibility or range of motion of the back
• Pain that worsens with bending, lifting, standing or walking
• Pain that improves with reclining
