Common Causes of Back Pain

Understanding the root cause of your back pain is crucial for effective treatment. Here are some of the most common causes of back pain:

1. Muscle Strain

Overexertion or sudden movements can lead to muscle strain, causing discomfort and limiting your mobility. This is often due to lifting heavy objects incorrectly or engaging in strenuous activities without proper preparation.

2. Poor Posture

Spending long hours sitting or standing with poor posture can strain your back muscles and spine. This is a common issue for those who work at desks or spend a lot of time driving.

3. Herniated Discs

A herniated disc occurs when the soft material inside a spinal disc pushes out through a tear, irritating nearby nerves. This can lead to significant pain and discomfort.

4. Sciatica

Sciatica is characterized by pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, which runs down one or both legs from the lower back. It is often caused by a herniated disc or bone spur compressing the nerve.
