Common Causes of Chronic Back Pain
Understanding the potential causes of back pain can help you prevent it in the future. For those already experiencing back problems, it can be helpful to understand the causes in order to identify what may have caused your condition.
Back pain is often the result of one of a variety of factors:
Injuries and Accidents
Auto accidents and other traumatic injuries can cause back pain.
Herniated Discs
A ruptured or slipped disc, like a lumbar disc herniation, can put pressure on nearby nerves, causing pain to radiate out from the point.
Degenerative Disc Disease
The discs in your spine can lose moisture and shrink. This results in chronic back pain due to the friction between vertebrae.
Improper Lifting
Lifting heavy objects incorrectly can lead to damage in lower back muscles, sometimes causing acute back pain.
Sedentary Lifestyle
Lack of physical activity can weaken the muscles that support your spine, leaving it vulnerable.
Poor Posture
Sitting and standing incorrectly can lead to increased strain on the muscles in your back.
Nerve Damage
Conditions causing nerve compression in the spine can cause pain, tingling, or numbness.
Disc Injuries
Injuries to the discs in the spine can lead to lower back pain and a limited range of motion.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common causes of back pain?
Poor posture and injuries are the two most common causes of back pain. Poor posture has seen a dramatic increase in how many people experience back pain as a result of it. Hunching over phones, computers, and desks at work has led many people to experience back pain as a result of their flawed posture.
How do I know if my back pain is serious?
If your back pain is reoccurring or has begun to noticeably impact your quality of life, it has become serious, and you need to seek chiropractic care in order to have it treated by a medical professional.
How to tell if back pain is muscular or something else?
A chiropractor can provide a proper pain diagnosis to determine if your back pain is the result of something in your muscles, spine, or nerves. If you are uncertain about the source of your pain, schedule an appointment with a chiropractor and let them take a look and potentially provide the pain relief you need.
How can I get rid of my back pain?
Rest and alternating heat and cold are good at-home remedies for minor instances of back pain. In more severe cases of back pain, though, you will need the help of a chiropractor in order to make a proper recovery.
