Common Back Problems That You Might Experience

Some common back problems crop up more often than more severe injuries related to accidents, car crashes, and other traumas. These injuries cause back pain due to repetitive use or incorrect lifting and carrying techniques and poor posture. At the Spine Care Center, we treat sciatica pain, lower back pain, neck pain, and back pain related to all kinds of common problems.

 

Lifting and Carrying Injuries

Spine doctors treat lots of unspecified spinal pain every year. These are often combination injuries related to lifting and carrying or maybe a slip or a fall in icy conditions. No specific injury can be located, but the bruising and strain to the back muscles and spine can cause pain that requires therapy to alleviate.

 

Herniated Discs

Herniated discs are very common as a root cause for back pain. These injuries are caused by a disc breaking through its joint capsule and bulging out of line from the other discs around it. This can place pressure on nerves and tendons and lead to a breakdown of bony tissue if neglected. 

Degenerative Disc Disease

Degenerative disc disease is a common back pain culprit. This can be related to age, health conditions, as well as arthritis. Degeneration can cause malformation of the spine as well as nerve and tissue pain.

Scoliosis Problems

Scoliosis is a genetic condition that is inherited at birth. This condition results in a spine that is not straight. This requires many different kinds of therapies, from surgery to physical therapy. Scoliosis can require a lifetime of intervention from a Spine doctor.
