Proper Causes of Back Pain


Back pain may strike anyone. It can affect younger people but is more prevalent during adulthood especially those aged between 45 and 59 years old.

The spine is comprised of small bones known as vertebrae.

These are normally good structures, which are separated by discs that allow free mobility.

Muscles and ligaments further support these vertebrae.

Close to one hundred percent of all complaints with regards to back pain is directly linked to improper coordination and workings of these components.

The cause of back pain may be sudden rather than what is usually perceived as the result of overworking for a single period of time.

However, during tests abnormal conditions on the back may not be identified using x-rays and typically, nothing in the back is mildly or severely damaged.

The majority of cases of back pain documented occur to people aged 55 and above and nearly all of them show signs of being with good health.

So this means that the cause of back pain is not or may be minimally affected by the health of the sufferer.

This pain is often felt in the lower section of the spine and cases of upper and middle back pain is rare.

Additionally, some people may also experience coexisting pains such those felt at the thighs and the legs.

These are separated cases that may be triggered by several sets of complex sets symptoms.

Simple back pain may be caused by the following:

• poor posture

• lack of exercise

• long periods of bending and standing

• sitting on a chair that lacks supports for the back, especially for the lumbar area

• sleeping on a mattress that lacks support for the back

• lifting, pushing or pulling loads, carrying objects that are typically heavy or doing tasks the wrong way

• a trip or fall

There are other causes that may be associated with back pain but cases like these appear on minimal basis.

Around 5% of all sufferers experience back pain due to nerve root problems.

The compression of the nerve root, which is triggered by the bulging, or displacement of the vertebral disc normally brings about the pain.

This irregularity of the vertebral disc is called a slipped disc.

It must be noted that the back bone structure is especially adopted to carrying loads and carrying the whole body weight if need be.

But there are certain conditions that may affect its performance.

These generally cause back pain and the intensity of the pain produced depends on the rigidity of the activity.
