Causes of Back Pain


If you are like me chances are you will experience back pain. It could be as simple as a pulled/strained muscle or as serious as a herniated disc. There are many causes of an aching back. It’s important to understand these cause so one can avoid the pain and discomfort that comes from having a sore back.

It is absolutely vital that you consult your medical care provider for exercise techniques that are safe for you to do. Some individuals have other medical conditions that can restrict their options for pain relief techniques.

Older Age: Okay as we age muscles get weaker and bone loses calcium. Disc in the spine lose flexibility and deteriorate.

Female Gender: Again I don’t know why unless it has something to do with pregnancy.

Physically Strenuous Work : Again makes sense..

Sedentary Work: Sedentary work can led to weak muscles, then you play a round of golf on the weekend –  results a pain in the back.

Stressful Job: I think we are only just beginning to understand the role stress can play in our overall health.

Anxiety & Depression: Same as above.

Interestingly six out of the above eight causes are life style. These six conditions can be remedied by proper exercise, diet and eliminating smoking. I am willing to bet that diet and exercise could also help women and the elderly.

    There is no one cause of neuromusculoskeletal back pain but the potential for it lies in predisposing (indirect) and precipitating (direct) factors. Dysfunction plays a role in both these factor, possibly being an integral part of the first and either a contributing factor or consequence of the second.
