Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical help, with nearly 80% of adults experiencing it at some point in their lives. Whether it’s a dull ache or sharp, shooting pain, it can significantly impact your mobility, productivity, and overall quality of life.
At BestPhysio, we provide effective, personalised back pain treatment at home—offering you expert care and support where you’re most comfortable.
What Causes Back Pain?
Back pain can stem from a wide variety of conditions. Some of the most common causes include:
1. Muscle Strain or Sprain
Overuse, lifting heavy objects improperly, or sudden movements can strain muscles and ligaments.
2. Herniated or Slipped Discs
When the soft tissue between vertebrae pushes out, it can irritate surrounding nerves and cause intense lower back pain.
3. Degenerative Disc Disease
As we age, the discs in our spine lose hydration and flexibility, leading to chronic discomfort.
4. Poor Posture
Sitting for long periods or working at a poorly set-up desk can cause long-term stress on the back.
5. Medical Conditions
Conditions like arthritis, osteoporosis, sciatica, spinal stenosis, and even kidney infections may manifest as back pain.
Symptoms to Watch For
Back pain symptoms vary widely but may include:
- Persistent dull aching or sharp pain
- Pain that radiates to the legs or hips
- Stiffness in the lower or upper back
- Limited range of motion
- Muscle spasms or tightness
- Numbness or tingling in limbs (can indicate nerve involvement)
If your symptoms last more than a week or are worsening, it’s time to seek professional help.
