Understanding Back Pain
The back is a complex structure comprising bones, muscles, ligaments, and nerves. This intricacy makes it susceptible to various issues that can lead to pain and discomfort.
Common Causes of Back Pain
- Muscle Strains and Sprains: Overexertion, poor posture, or sudden movements can lead to muscle strains and sprains.
- Herniated Disc: When the soft inner material of a disc pushes through the tough outer layer, it can irritate nearby nerves and cause pain.
- Arthritis: Osteoarthritis and other forms of arthritis can affect the spine’s joints, causing pain and stiffness.
- Sciatica: Compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve can result in pain that radiates down the leg.
- Postural Issues: Prolonged sitting, poor ergonomics, and bad posture can contribute to back pain.
