Common Causes of Back Pain

Back pain can develop from a variety of lifestyle and medical factors, including:

  • Poor Posture – Sitting for prolonged periods or improper ergonomics can strain the spine and muscles.
  • Herniated or Bulging Discs – Spinal disc injuries can cause nerve compression and radiating pain.
  • Muscle Strain and Overuse – Lifting heavy objects improperly or repetitive motions can lead to muscle fatigue and injury.
  • Spinal Misalignment – Vertebral subluxations can create pressure on nerves and affect mobility.
  • Arthritis and Degenerative Conditions – Wear and tear on the spine over time can contribute to stiffness and chronic pain.
  • Injuries and Accidents – Falls, car accidents, and sports injuries can result in acute or chronic back pain.
