Reasons Why You May Have Back Pain
Back Pain
Back pain, is a very broad term that can be caused by different injuries or conditions. For example, you may be experiencing back pain due to having poor posture, a motor vehicle accident, or an injury sustained while lifting something heavy. The majority of the time, general back pain is brought on by an injury. This could be the result of repeated strains, such as picking up a toddler several times throughout the day, or a more serious, sudden trauma, such as a car accident.
Herniated Discs
Herniated discs, as well as other underlying conditions, can cause severe back pain and radiculopathy in your thigh, leg, or foot. A herniated disc can lead to sciatica and can be very uncomfortable.
Degenerative Disc Disease
Degenerative disc disease is also a common cause of back pain that occurs as we get older. Those living with this condition typically experience dull, aching pain in their lower back, as well as difficulty standing or walking for long periods of time.
