Reasons For Back Pain
There are numerous reasons why you may be experiencing back pain, and seeing a physical therapist is the best way to find out for sure!
- Pain/Discomfort: This refers to a variety of injuries and disorders. You could be suffering from back discomfort as a result of bad posture or a car accident. Maybe you sustained an injury when moving something heavy. The majority of the time, general back pain is the result of an accident. This could be due to repetitive pressures, such as scooping up a child numerous times throughout the day, or a more significant, unexpected shock, such as a car accident.
- Herniated discs: These can cause significant pain in the back and radiculopathy in your thigh, leg, or foot, as well as other underlying issues. A herniated disc can also cause sciatica, which is quite painful!
- Degenerative disc disease (DDD): DDD is another major cause of back discomfort as we age. A dull, painful ache in the lower back is common in people with this condition, as is difficulty standing or walking for lengthy periods.
