Managing Back Pain

Can create problems with things that you would normally like to do. Fortunately there are many things you can do to reduce the chances of developing incapacitating back pain and reduce the effect pain may have on your day to day life.

Therapy-First Physiotherapy knows back pain can be very distressing. It does not always represent a serious medical condition, but knowing what is causing your pain, and the best way of acting, may take away some of the concerns you have. Pain can originate from various points in the back. Sometimes the exact source of back pain is clear, but other times it’s harder to pinpoint. Regardless of the pain’s location, examine your lifestyle and habits. Ask yourself what may have caused the problems and how you can prevent it from worsening or returning.

Get to the bottom of that back problem

The reasons below may contribute to your pain. The list is long, but not all factors are physical. Psychological and social factors also play a crucial role. Some causes may surprise you, but they are still important.

Awareness of these can help in managing and controlling pain.

Common Causes of Back Pain: Understanding Spine-Related Conditions

Disc protrusion: sometimes the discs between the vertebrae may become weaker and bulge out. In extreme cases this may lead to a prolapsed disc.
Muscle sprain: sometimes you can ‘pull a muscle’ in your back, resulting in a small tear or sprain in your muscle.
Spinal stenosis: the spinal column runs through a narrow opening in your vertebrae. If this opening becomes too narrow the nerves may become trapped.
Prolapsed disc (‘slipped disc’ or ‘herniated disc): Sometimes a disc bulges so far out that it puts pressure on the spinal nerves running in your back. You may feel this as pain in your legs (sciatica) since the nerves in your lower back run down in to your legs.
Collapsed vertebra: the vertebrae give much of the structural support to the spine, but these may become damaged as a result of disease or injury. Severe osteoporosis may result in a vertebra collapsing and by doing so disturb the surrounding structures.
