Potential Causes of Back Pain:
- Muscle or Ligament Strain: Often due to sudden movements or lifting heavy objects improperly.
- Poor Posture: Slouching, sitting for long periods, or standing incorrectly can strain the muscles and ligaments in the back.
- Injury or Trauma: Accidents, falls, or sports injuries can damage the spine or surrounding tissues.
- Degenerative Conditions: Osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease, or spinal stenosis can cause gradual wear and tear on the spine, leading to back pain.
- Herniated Discs: Discs between the vertebrae can bulge or rupture, pressing on nearby nerves and causing pain.
- Structural Issues: Abnormalities in the spine, such as scoliosis or lordosis, can contribute to back pain.
- Underlying Medical Conditions: Conditions like kidney stones, infections, or inflammatory diseases can cause back pain as a symptom.
- Psychological Factors: Stress, anxiety, and depression can exacerbate back pain or make it more difficult to manage.
- Changes in Reflexes: A slipped disc can affect reflexes, causing them to become weaker or absent.
