Back Pain Resources Mechanical
Problems: A mechanical problem is a problem with the way
your spine moves or the way you feel when you move your spine
in certain ways. Perhaps the most common mechanical cause of
back pain is a condition called intervertebral disc degeneration,
which simply means that the discs located between the vertebrae
of the spine are breaking down with age. As they deteriorate,
they lose their cushioning ability. This problem can lead to
pain if the back is stressed. Other mechanical causes of back
pain include spasms, muscle tension, and ruptured discs,
Injuries: Spine injuries such as sprains and fractures can cause either short-lived or chronic pain. Sprains are tears in the ligaments that support the spine, and they can occur from twisting or lifting improperly. Fractured vertebrae are often the result of osteoporosis, a condition that causes weak, porous bones. Less commonly, back pain may be caused by more severe injuries that result from accidents and falls.
Acquired Conditions and Diseases: Many medical problems can cause or contribute to back pain. They include scoliosis, which causes curvature of the spine and does not usually cause pain until mid-life; spondylolisthesis; various forms of arthritis, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis; and spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the spinal column that puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. While osteoporosis itself is not painful, it can lead to painful fractures of the vertebrae. Other causes of back pain include pregnancy; kidney stones or infections; endometriosis, which is the buildup of uterine tissue in places outside the uterus; and fibromyalgia, which causes fatigue and widespread muscle pain.
Infections
and Tumors: Although they are not common causes of back
pain, infections can cause pain when they involve the vertebrae,
a condition called osteomyelitis, or when they involve the discs
that cushion the vertebrae, which is called discitis. Tumors,
too, are relatively rare causes of back pain. Occasionally,
tumors begin in the back,
Although
the causes of back pain are usually physical, it is important
to know that emotional stress can play a role in how severe
pain is and how long it lasts. Conclusion: |
