What causes back pain?

Unless there was a specific, memorable trauma, it can often be hard to pinpoint the exact cause of back pain. Unfortunately, back pain is often due to repetitive motions or biomechanical issues that buildup over time as opposed to a single isolated event or issue.

Working at a desk all day, sitting awkwardly on the couch or gardening hunched over for hours at a time are common stressors that you may not even realize might be contributing to improper spinal function. Even if you live an active lifestyle (e.g. playing sports, jogging, dancing, running, weight-lifting, etc), you may experience collisions, falls, or even minor abrupt movements that could, over time, lead to back pain.

Regardless of how it is caused, back pain can start to affect your everyday life. This is why it is so important to diagnose the likely cause and commence care promptly. Having greater awareness of your daily activities may also be one of your greatest tools in taking control of your health. If you can detect all these potential contributors to your pain, it is then within your power to make the necessary changes to live your best life.
