Back Pain

What is Back Pain?

Back pain is a common condition that affects people of all ages. It can range from a dull, constant ache to a sudden, sharp pain. Back pain can be caused by injury, medical conditions, or poor posture.

What Are the Major Symptoms?

• Muscle Aches: Persistent muscle aches in the back.
• Shooting Pain: Sharp pain that radiates down the leg.
• Limited Mobility: Reduced flexibility or range of motion in the back.
• Pain Worsens with Activity: Increased pain with lifting, bending, or standing for long periods.

What are the Main Causes?

• Muscle or Ligament Strain: Lifting heavy objects or sudden awkward movements.
• Bulging or Ruptured Discs: Discs in the spine that bulge or rupture, pressing on nerves.
• Arthritis: Osteoarthritis can affect the lower back.
• Skeletal Irregularities: Conditions such as scoliosis, which curves the spine.
• Osteoporosis: Weak, brittle bones that can fracture easily.

How to Manage Pain?

• Medications: Over-the-counter pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs.
• Physical Therapy: Exercises to strengthen the muscles supporting the spine.
