What Causes Back Pain?

Back pain can stem from various factors, including:

1. Muscle or ligament strain: Activities that put undue stress on the back, such as lifting heavy objects improperly, sudden movements, or poor posture over time, can strain muscles and ligaments.
2. Disk problems: Disks act as cushions between the bones (vertebrae) in your spine. Problems such as herniated disks, bulging disks, or degenerative disk disease can cause pressure on the nerves, leading to back pain.
3. Spinal stenosis: This condition involves the narrowing of the spinal canal and can put pressure on the nerves, resulting in back pain or leg pain.
4. Arthritis: Osteoarthritis can affect the lower back. In some cases, the vertebrae can develop bone spurs, which can contribute to back pain.
5. Scoliosis: An abnormal curvature of the spine can lead to back pain, especially if it progresses or becomes severe.
6. Osteoporosis: This condition weakens bones, making them more susceptible to fractures, which can cause back pain.
7. Other conditions: There are various other medical conditions that can cause back pain, including kidney stones, infections, endometriosis (in women), and fibromyalgia.
8. Lifestyle factors: Being overweight, lack of exercise, smoking, and poor posture can contribute to back pain.
