What are the Causes of Back Pain?

Back pain can be triggered by an accident, heavy lifting, other strenuous activity, age-related changes to the spine, or certain medical conditions. These are some of the more common sources of back pain:

  • Sprains and strains. Sprains are caused by overstretching or tearing ligaments, and strains are tears in tendons or muscles.
  • Intervertebral disk degeneration. The normal process of aging causes the usually rubbery disks to lose their cushioning ability.
  • Herniated or ruptured disks. Intervertebral disks become compressed. A herniation is when this compression causes the disks to bulge outward.
  • Radiculopathy, including sciatica. A spinal nerve route is compressed, inflamed, or injured. Pressure on the nerve root results in pain, numbness, or a tingling sensation that radiates to other areas of the body that are served by that nerve.
  • Spondylosis. Normal wear and tear in the joints, discs, and bones cause general degeneration of the spine.
  • Spondylolisthesis. A vertebra of the lower spine slips out of place, pinching the nerves exiting the spinal column.
  • Spinal stenosis. Narrowing of the spinal column puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.
  • Skeletal irregularities. Scoliosis, a curvature of the spine, does not usually cause pain until middle age. Lordosis is an abnormally accentuated arch in the lower back.
  • Arthritis. This includes osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and spondylitis, an inflammation of the vertebrae.

How back pain is diagnosed?

Getting an accurate diagnosis of the cause of back pain is critical because different diagnoses will require very different treatment approaches. And the sooner an accurate back pain diagnosis is made, the sooner the patient can find an appropriate treatment for pain relief and improve his or her ability to enjoy everyday activities.

The most common diagnostic tests include

  • X-rays
  • MRI scans
  • Blood Test

What are the special considerations for sciatica?

Sciatica is caused by compression of the sciatic nerve, the large nerve that travels through the buttocks and extends down the back of the leg. Symptoms include pain that travels down this nerve from your back through the buttocks and down one leg, sometimes even to your foot.

Sciatica usually stems from compression in the spine. But your doctor should also consider whether it might be caused by a tiny muscle called the piriformis, located in the buttocks near the top of the hip joint. The piriformis is right under the sciatic nerve and can cause similar problems if it spasms. Dr. Prashant Kale can diagnose this issue and relieve the muscle tension with an injection.
