Reasons You May Have Back Pain

There are many reasons why you may be experiencing back pain, and seeing a physical therapist is one of the best ways to identify the cause with confidence.

“Back pain” is a broad term that can result from different injuries or conditions. For example, you may be experiencing back pain due to poor posture, a motor vehicle accident, or an injury from lifting something heavy. In most cases, general back pain is caused by an injury—either from repeated strain (such as lifting a small child multiple times throughout the day) or from more severe, sudden trauma (such as a car accident).

Herniated discs, as well as other underlying conditions, can also cause severe pain and radiculopathy that radiates into the thigh, leg, or foot. A herniated disc can lead to sciatica and may be very uncomfortable.

Degenerative disc disease is another common cause that can occur as we age. People living with this condition typically experience a dull ache in the lower back, along with difficulty standing or walking for extended periods of time.

What Can Physical Therapy Treatments Do for My Back Pain?

If you’re experiencing this type of pain, don’t rely on medications to simply mask your symptoms. Our physical therapists focus on identifying the root cause of your back pain so you can achieve long-term relief. In many cases, our treatments can even eliminate the need for potentially harmful pain medications—such as opioids—as well as invasive surgical procedures.

The treatment plan your physical therapist develops will depend on how your pain began, its exact location, and your medical history. A personalized plan will be created to relieve your pain and help you get back to enjoying life again. Your physical therapist will also teach you ergonomic techniques to protect your spine during everyday activities such as sitting at a desk or driving.
