Back pain has a wide variety of causes, from poor posture to degenerative diseases or accidents. Sometimes, these conditions can affect nerves in your back or spinal cord, resulting in pain, loss of feeling, or weakness in other areas of the body. It’s recommended that if you have these types of symptoms, you shouldn’t wait to schedule an appointment.

Some of the causes and risk factors for developing back pain include:

  • Aging: Back pain is more common starting at around age 30-40.
  • Lack of fitness: Weak back muscles and abs can’t properly support the spine.
  • Weight gain: Excess weight puts more stress on the back.
  • Pregnancy: Pelvic changes and changes to weight distribution can stress the back.
  • Genetics: A variety of spinal conditions can be caused by your genes.
  • Heavy lifting: Improperly lifting heavy objects can cause injury.
  • Smoking: Tobacco use reduces the flow of blood and nutrients to the spine.
  • Mental health issues: Anxiety and depression cause muscle tension and sensitivity.
