Common Causes of Back Pain

Back pain—which is often accompanied by other signs and symptoms including stiffness and arm or leg pain, numbness, and weakness—can come on due to a number of conditions.

Common conditions that induce back pain include:

• Osteoarthritis - joint inflammation
• Degenerative disc disease - wearing down and thinning of the discs between vertebral bones
• Disc herniation or bulge - a rupture or protrusion of a disc
• Muscle spasm or ligament sprain - connective tissue injury leading to inflammation and microscopic tears in the fibers
• Fibromyalgia - widespread pain and chronic fatigue, likely due to nervous system-mediated pain signaling
• Joint subluxation - misalignment of a vertebral joint
• Pinched spinal nerve - compression of a nerve root near the spine, often due to an injured disc or misaligned joint

Risk Factors for Back Pain

If you have back pain, there may be an obvious reason or a combination of factors.

Here are some of the most common causes of back pain:

• Acute accidents (auto accident, slip, and fall, sports injury)
• Repetitive lifting, twisting or bending
• Poor posture
• Frequent sitting
• Overweight/obesity
• Smoking
• Physically demanding occupation

Sometimes, however, it's not clear what's causing your back pain. Fortunately, these so-called "idiopathic" cases of back pain can and do respond positively to conservative and holistic care techniques, including those we provide at our Ohio chiropractic clinics.
