IN CARY, NC

What Is Back Pain?

Back pain is a common condition that affects the muscles, ligaments, and spine, causing discomfort and limited mobility. It can range from mild, occasional pain to chronic, severe discomfort. Back pain often results from injury, poor posture, or medical conditions like herniated discs. It is a leading cause of missed work and impacts overall quality of life. Depending on the cause, the pain may radiate to other areas, such as the legs or hips.

What Are the Causes of Back Pain?

  • Muscle or Ligament Strain: Overexertion or sudden movements can strain the muscles and ligaments.
  • Herniated Discs: A slipped or ruptured disc can press on nerves, causing significant pain.
  • Poor Posture: Sitting or standing improperly over time leads to chronic back issues.
  • Arthritis: Inflammation in the joints of the spine can result in back pain.
  • Osteoporosis: Weak bones due to osteoporosis increase the risk of fractures and pain.
