The Causes of Back Pain

Back pain often comes on after an acute event, such as a car accident or sports injury. In other cases, back pain may be insidious and have no clear cause. Fortunately, most forms of back pain will respond positively to chiropractic care, even if you're not entirely sure why you're having it in the first place.

The following are a few of the most common causes of back pain that we diagnose and manage here at Armstrong Chiropractic:

  • Muscle spasm or strain
  • Spinal ligament sprain
  • Spinal joint misalignment (also known as subluxation)
  • Arthritis
  • Disc herniation or bulge
  • Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
  • Spinal nerve impingement

While not always avoidable, back pain can be more likely to occur if any of the following characteristics are true for you:

  • You are overweight
  • You are older than 35
  • You are sedentary
  • You have a physically demanding job
  • You smoke
  • You spend a lot of time sitting in front of a computer or hunched over your phone
  • You recently were involved in an accident such as a car accident, sports accident, or some other slip, trip, or fall

Even high levels of mental distress or financial strain can affect the amount of back pain you have. Regardless, it's clear that back pain is a multifaceted issue.
