What causes back pain?

Understanding the cause of your back pain is crucial for effective treatment. Our thorough
assessment identifies the specific factors contributing to your condition.

Poor Posture

Prolonged sitting, slouching, or improper workstation setup can strain your back muscles and spinal structures.

Muscle Strain

Lifting heavy objects incorrectly or sudden awkward movements can cause muscle or ligament tears.

Disc Problems

Herniated, bulging, or degenerative discs can press on nerves and cause significant
pain.

Arthritis

Osteoarthritis can affect the lower back, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

Sedentary Lifestyle

Lack of regular exercise weakens core muscles that support your spine.

Stress & Tension

Emotional stress can cause muscle tension in the back, leading to chronic pain patterns.
