Which Medical Conditions Can Cause Back Pain? Dr. Manu Mengi - Joint & Pain Doctor

Several aspects of human life can be considered back pain causes. Be it pregnancy, obesity, or stress, they can cause back ache. But it is highly treatable and curable. However, select medical conditions related to spinal discs, ligaments, spinal cords, back muscles, or nerves can cause back pain too. These spine problems are not as easy to treat. They require a long-term commitment to spinal health or surgery. So, let's explore medical conditions causing back pain.

 

Injuries:

Any type of back injury can lead to acute or chronic back pain. Sports, sudden fall, accident, workplace or industrial accident can lead to strain or sprain. Heavy physical work, lifting, bending, twisting, or awkward positions can lead to back pain too. Osteoporosis can convert a simple fall in a home into a back injury as well.

 

Medical conditions:

Bulging disc or herniated disc: Backbone or spine consists of 26 vertebrae. Each has an external ring-like bone with soft internal content. A tear in external structure can cause a leak of internal soft tissue. It is known as slip disc or slipped disc colloquially. It is known as spinal disc herniation, pinched nerve, torn disc, collapsed disc, disc protrusion, and disc disease.

 

Arthritis: Also known as spinal arthritis, degenerative joint disease or osteoarthritis, this medical condition can break down the cartilage between facets joints of spinal discs.

 

Sciatica: Compression or irritation of spinal nerves causes a radiating pain in legs. It is known as Lumbar Radiculopathy and Sciatic Neuritis.

 

Degenerative disc disease: It refers to disc degeneration due to the ageing process. It can cause severe pain in back in untreated.

 

Kyphosis: Developmental problems and arthritis can result in curvature of the spine in thoracic or sacral region.

 

Lordosis: Inward curing in lumbar or cervical region of a spine is known as lordosis.
