Symptoms Of Back Pain - Understanding What Causes Them

By Ron Stucky


If you've never experienced back pain, you're very luck and very unusual as well. If your back does not ache right now, it might be because you are young. The older that you get, the more likely it will be that your back will hurt. Back pain can occur for several different reasons, and can be more or less serious, depending upon how it originally happened.

Osteoporosis can cause bone fractures, and this is a common cause of back pain, especially in women. Osteoporosis causes the bones to become soft and brittle, and in some cases they actually collapse. Assuming the skeleton is already in a weakened state, activity which frequently causes bone fractures in the back, doesn't have to be strenuous. Apart from tenderness, fractures in the bone could be the reason for distortions in the form of the backbone, in addition to actually losing some stature. There are avenues to handle Osteoporosis, though this is a grave situation that necessitates medical counsel. Getting regular exercise and certain nutritional supplements can help prevent or control this condition.

While it's natural to believe that the more severe a pain is, the more serious, this isn't always the case when it comes to back pain. The spasms that you have in your lower back may be significant, especially if you lift heavy objects on a regular basis.

A herniated disc is one of the most frequent kinds of back ache. When one of your spinal discs ruptures, you disc is displaced and this can be quite painful. Once the disc has ruptured, it will emit a type of electrical shock when the nerve is pinched. The sense you experience may range anywhere from a tickle, to a sting or maybe even a deadness. A herniated disc can be caused from trying to move an object that is more than you can handle or overdoing your exercises. This condition may also befall you if you have the misfortune of an accident that jars your body. Anytime you think you may have a herniated disc you need to seek medical advice; you will probably undergo an MRI to get a better idea on how to proceed.

Hopefully what we have presented in this article can help you understand a little bit more about back pain. By avoiding certain physical and emotional stresses, you can prevent back pain from occurring. If you already have back pain, this will help it heal much more quickly. You simply want to learn how to move properly and in doing so you can avoid back injuries and improve the condition of your back pain over time.
