Causes & Treatments for Back Pain
Back and spine pain can be caused by a number of different things, and sometimes it’s difficult to narrow down the exact cause without the help of a medical professional. A variety of musculoskeletal conditions, injuries, and general wear and tear on your bones and ligaments from aging can all lead to back pain.
Some of the most common causes of back pain include:
- Herniated (bulging or ruptured) discs as a result of an injury
- Degenerative disc disease
- Muscle strains from injury, or sudden, awkward movements
- Damage to the spinal ligaments
- Arthritis in the spine, which can lead to spinal stenosis
- Skeletal conditions such as scoliosis that cause your spine to curve
- Nerve pain linked to sciatica
- Osteoporosis that weakens bones in your spine
Some back pain is minor and may resolve on its own after a short period of time, especially if it’s related to a minor muscle strain. However, if your condition does not improve within a week or two after you first notice the pain, or it continues to get worse over time, you should see a professional to help you determine if treatments like back adjustment Salt Lake City may help, or if there are other options available.
It’s also important to seek the help of a professional if you have sudden or severe pain that impacts your daily life or makes it difficult to do simple things like walking, sitting, or standing up straight. If your back pain is gradually spreading or doesn’t improve after implementing at-home remedies like rest and ice, or you have pain or numbness that extends from your back below you knee, it’s time to seek the help of a medical professional.
