Understanding Back Pain

The spine is your body’s central support system, made up of vertebrae, discs, joints, and muscles that work together to keep you upright and moving. When one part becomes irritated, inflamed, or misaligned, it can affect the entire system. Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek care, and it can range from a mild ache to sharp, debilitating discomfort.

Most common causes include:

• Poor posture or prolonged sitting

• Lifting injuries or overuse

• Herniated discs or disc degeneration

• Muscle strain or imbalance

• Spinal misalignment or joint restriction

Symptoms of Back Dysfunction:

You might be dealing with a back issue if you’re experiencing:

• A constant ache or sharp pain in the lower or upper back

• Pain that gets worse with sitting, standing, or walking

• Discomfort when bending, lifting, or twisting

• Muscle tightness or spasms

• Numbness or tingling down the legs

• Difficulty getting out of bed or moving freely
