Causes of Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain is the second most common reason for doctor visits in the U.S., and 8 out of 10 Americans will experience back pain at some point in their lives. The causes of lower back pain are numerous. Some of the more common causes of lower back pain are: An auto accident, fall, sports, or another traumatic event often cause lower back pain
Gynecological conditions, especially pregnancy, can sometimes be the cause of lower back pain in women.
Stress to the muscles, nerves, or ligaments in the lower back.
Certain jobs such as those that require repetitive movements, sitting in chairs that are not ergonomically proper for your back, or standing for long periods of time often increase back stress and cause lower back pain.
Arthritis, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, and other bone or joint diseases can often cause lower back pain.
Not getting enough physical activity, being sedentary, or being overweight often stresses the lower back causing pain.
Slipped discs, pinched nerves, sciatica, aging, and infections are other common causes of lower back pain.
Smoking. In a study from 1948-1964 researchers found that smoking history, hypertension, and coronary artery disease (risk factors for atherosclerosis, occlusion of the arteries) are significantly associated with development of lower back pain. It is often difficult for physicians to pinpoint the exact cause of a patient's lower back pain, because of the complex composition of the human spine. Bone, discs, muscles, ligaments, tendons and various other tissues are arranged like a three-dimensional puzzle to make up the spine. The complex make up can easily mask the exact cause of lower back pain. Having a better understanding of lower back pain causes should always be the first step towards treatment. The reason this is important is because there can be many different causes of lower back pain so it is best to understand the causes and the symptoms to gain a greater understanding of how the back can become injured. This will also allow you to have better insight when considering treatment options.
