Typical Back Pain Symptoms
The symptoms of back pain vary but may include one or more of the following –
- Discomfort characterized as a sharp pain or dull ache.
- Sore/tender muscles that may cause stiffness or limit movement.
- Muscle spasms.
- Numbness/tingling radiating down arms or legs.
If any of the above symptoms do not go away after a few weeks – or the pain is severe and chronic, it is important to seek a health consultation with a chiropractor.
Typical Back Pain Causes
The causes of back pain also vary and result from years of poor posture, an unexpected injury, or a degenerative disorder. This includes, in part -
- Bulging or Ruptured Spinal Discs Spinal discs cushion vertebra but have the potential to rupture or bulge. This may cause pain and compression of a nerve.
- Pulled Muscle or Strained Ligament Back pain may occur from moving suddenly or awkwardly – or repeatedly lifting heaving objects. Constant over-straining can create muscle issues and ligament strains for those who are out of shape.
- Arthritis or Osteoporosis
- Various types of arthritis may cause back pain; however, osteoarthritis is the most common, occurring when cartilage wears down over time. Spinal stenosis, which refers to the spinal cord’s narrowing, is another type of arthritis.
- Osteoporosis is a disorder in which the bones become brittle/porous, which makes them much more vulnerable to fracture/breaking.
