Common Causes
COMMON CAUSES OF BACK PAIN
There are numerous types of back pain, and several injuries and diseases can cause discomfort in mid and low back. Some of the most common causes treated by Pain Relief Institute are:
OSTEOARTHRITIS: Osteoarthritis develops by the gradual wearing down of protective cartilage. With respect to the spine, it causes damage to the bones resulting in chronic pain, stiffness and decreased mobility.
SPRAIN: Muscles can get strained due to overexertion or injury, causing pain and stiffness. This can often be due to trying to lift something too heavy or overuse.
STRAIN: Ligaments can get sprained from being overstretched or torn resulting in severe pain in the area of the strained ligament.
SPINAL STENOSIS:
DISC HERNIATION/BULGING: Within the spine there are 23 discs that separate the vertebra (bones making up the spine). The discs cushion the vertebra and absorb shock. When the discs get damaged, they may pinch a nerve resulting in numbness, tingling, pain or weakness in the arms or legs.
MUSCLE SPASMS: When back/spine muscles are overworked they may start to contract and can even stay contracted for extended periods of time resulting in pain and stiffness until the muscle spasm is relieved.
DEGENERATIVE DISC DISEASE:
