What Causes Back Pain?
There are numerous reasons why you may be experiencing back pain, and seeing a physical therapist is the best way to find out for sure!
Sprain/Strain
A back sprain occurs when you overstretch the ligaments in your spine, whereas a back strain occurs when you overstretch your back muscles.
Poor Posture
Poor posture can cause back pain to develop. If your posture is incorrect, it can put a strain on other parts of your body, causing pain, inflammation, or dysfunction.
Degenerative disc disease (DDD)
DDD is another major cause of back discomfort as we age. A dull, painful ache in the lower back is common in people with this condition, as is difficulty standing or walking for lengthy periods.
Herniated discs
These can cause significant pain in the back and radiculopathy in your thigh, leg, or foot, as well as other underlying issues. A herniated disc can also cause sciatica, which is quite painful!
SIJ Dysfunction
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is another common, yet missed cause of back pain. SIJ dysfunction can be caused by specific injury or occur over time. When people are experiencing SIJ dysfunction they commonly have difficulty changing positions for example sit to stand, or getting in and out of the car, or when walking and changing pace or direction can experience a jolt of pain.
The good news is that physical therapy at our clinic in Fairport, NY can help you if you’re struggling with any of these conditions involving your back.
I would highly recommend Kim and Jamie for all your physical therapy needs!
Kim and Jamie Clark are amazing physical therapists. I had injured my back so bad that I was unable to bend or walk without severe pain. I work as an occupational therapist and needed to be able to perform my job duties. They were able to restore my back to a healthy level with absolutely no reoccurrence of injury. I would highly recommend Kim and Jamie for all your physical therapy needs!
