Comprehensive Back Pain Relief

Signs and Conditions

Back pain can manifest in a variety of ways, and understanding the signs and symptoms is crucial for effective treatment. Whether it’s short-term pain that lasts a few days to a few weeks, or chronic pain persisting for 12 weeks or longer, it’s important to seek professional help. Some common symptoms of back pain include:

• Muscle Ache: A dull, constant ache in the lower back.
• Shooting or Stabbing Pain: Pain that extends down your leg to below the knee, which can be sharp or stabbing.
• Limited Flexibility or Range of Motion: Difficulty standing straight or being able to flex the back.
• Pain that Worsens with Certain Activities: Such as lifting, bending, standing, or walking.
• Pain that Improves with Reclining: Some find relief when lying down or reclining.
  

  Causes of Back Pain

  • Abnormal Spinal Alignment: Loss of normal spinal alignment, viewed from the side or front, can lead to low back pain.
  • Abnormal Movement of the Spine: Either too much or too little motion in the joints can cause issues like disc degeneration, arthritis, and pain.
  • Short Leg: A significant difference in leg length can lead to back pain.
  • Disc Herniation or Bulge: These can impinge nerves, leading to pain, numbness, and tingling.
  • Degeneration and Arthritis: Excessive loss of disc height and arthritic changes can cause pain.
  • Lower Cross Syndrome: Involves tight hip flexors and lumbar spinal muscles, leading to low back pain.
  • Being Overweight: Excessive weight, especially in the abdominal area, adds stress to the lower spine.
