What are the common causes of back pain and lower backpain ?

There are several causes that can result in back pain. These may include:

• Back injury (acute back pain)
  An acute back pain often appears suddenly after a wrong movement or a heavy lift and can make it hard to move or stand.

• Spine trauma
  A spine trauma can happen after a fall or an accident and it often causes severe pain and needs quick physiotherapy care.

• Scoliosis
  A scoliosis is a curve in the spine that develops over time and can lead to uneven shoulders or ongoing back discomfort.

• Sciatica
  A sciatica happens when the sciatic nerve is irritated or compressed and it causes pain that travels from the lower back down the leg.

• Herniated disc
  A herniated disc is when a disc between the vertebrae moves out of place and presses on a nerve which can cause sharp pain or tingling.

• Nerve irritation (chronic back pain)
  A chronic back pain from nerve irritation often builds slowly and can feel like a burning or shooting pain that stays for weeks or months.

• Poor posture
  A poor posture is when the spine is not aligned correctly while standing or sitting and it can strain the back muscles and joints.

• Lack of strong muscles
  A lack of strong muscles in the core or the back makes the spine less supported and can lead to repeated episodes of back pain.

• A muscle tendon or ligament injury on your spine
  An injury of a muscle a tendon or a ligament on your spine can happen after lifting twisting or a sports activity and it often causes swelling and stiffness.

• Staying sited for long period of time
  Staying sited for a long time puts pressure on the lower back discs and muscles and often leads to tightness or soreness.

• Poor back posture
  A poor back posture during work or daily activities can lead to muscle fatigue and makes the spine more vulnerable to pain or injury.

• Osteoarthritis
  An osteoarthritis is a wear and tear of the joints in the spine that usually develops with age and can limit your movement and cause persistent pain.

• Spondylolisthesis
  A spondylolisthesis happens when a vertebra slips forward over the one below it and it often leads to lower back pain or nerve pressure.

  In some cases, back pain may be a symptom of a condition that might requires specific treatment in order to alleviate the pain:

• Kidney diseases
• Gastric ulcers
• Gynaecological disorders ( lack of tone of the pelvic floor usually following a pregnancy)
• Ankylosing spondylitis

Physio Tip: Did you know that the most common type of back pain is low back pain?

Back pain usually hits the lower part of your back where the lumbar vertebrae are. Unlike other types of back pain, lower back pain isn’t usually caused by trauma. Instead, things like sitting too much, stress, slouching, or being overweight can be the cause of your lower back pain.

In the case of lower back pain due to one of the above, remember that stretching regularly, walking, going to the gym to increase your muscle strength might make your back pain like magic. Movement and strength are the key of a painless back.

Engaging in regular exercise is actually beneficial, as it helps to stretch and strengthen your back muscles, as well as improve your overall flexibility and strength.

However, high-impact sports such as tennis, football, and horse riding should be avoided, as should running. Instead, try low-impact activities such as brisk walking, yoga, Pilates, tai-chi, or even swimming. These activities can help you strengthen your back muscles and reduce your risk of experiencing back pain in the future.

When you experience high levels of stress, you tend to develop back pain because stress causes muscles tension to increase, leading to blockages in certain parts of the spine, particularly in the lumbar region and trapezes muscle (upper back and shoulder) . Chronic stress also decreases the body’s sensitivity to cortisol, a hormone that has anti-inflammatory effects. This can result in increased inflammation in the body, which can exacerbate conditions such as osteoarthritis or spondylitis and cause more frequent painful episodes.

• Is my weight causing back pain?

Regardless of your age, carrying excess weight can have a significant impact on your back health. When you gain weight,your centre of gravity can shift, which can affect the natural curvature of your spine. But mainly, remember that your lower spine hold all the weight of your upper body, so if your increase the weight your increase the strain that you put on your lower back which become sore. This increased stress on your muscles and ligaments of you back need to be limited as much as possible.

Which Exercises can I do at Home to relieve my Back Pain ? Back pain exercises tips by our specialized physiotherapist.

• The Cat Stretch

In back pain, the lower back is often the primary area of discomfort. The popular round back or cat pose exercise can provide relief for lower back pain.

• Start in an all-fours position
• Arch your back upwards while looking forward
• Round your back by tucking in your head and buttocks
• Return to the starting position with a flat back while still on all fours.
• Repeat this exercise around 20 times to experience the benefits.

• Diaphragm Breathing

Breathing plays an important role in alleviating back pain. Deep breathing, specifically using your diaphragm, engage the transverse muscle, which is essential for maintaining a healthy back:

• Lie on your back with your legs bent at a 90° angle.
• Take a deep breath, expanding your stomach.
• Exhale while tightening your stomach muscles, ensuring your back remains on the ground.
• Repeat the inhalation and exhalation process 15-20 times, taking your time.

 

• Low Back Rotation

This exercise is another effective way to combat lower back pain. You can perform it on a mat or on the floor:
