  1. 6 MOST COMMON CAUSES OF BACK PAIN AND HOW TO FIX THEM

  2. Back pain is pretty common, especially among adults. It can be a sign of some other serious medical condition and can occur due to various reasons. However, most of the common causes are easy to treat and can even be prevented with slight and sincere efforts like exercise and correct posture. Here are some of the most common Causes of Back Pain: 1. Poor Posture Incorrect back posture can put a lot of stress on your back and make it hard for the back muscles to work effectively. This causes your back to ache. The modern lifestyle, which is characterized by a lack of frequent movement, adds to the problem. 2. Lifting Heavy Objects Incorrectly One of the most common causes of back pain is strained muscles. The reason for that can be lifting heavy objects in a wrong manner, causing muscles to strain. Attempting to lift heavy objects beyond our capabilities, indulging in over activity, sleeping in awkward positions and sports injuries are also the leading causes of muscle strains in the back. This causes frequent back pain among people.

  3. 3. The Problem in the Disc The disc is a cushion of tissues between our vertebrae. Injuries to this area, which are pretty common, can bulge or rupture it, resulting in compression of nerves. This can be a cause of your back pain as well.

  4. 4. Arthritis This medical condition is directly associated with the deterioration or damage to the joints in your lower back. It is often referred to as spinal osteoarthritis. This is a common problem in older people and can cause inflammation and back pain. Inactivity triggers this problem and even worsens it.

  5. 5. Osteoporosis It is a condition in which bones become thin and lose a lot of mass and density. It can cause small fractures in vertebrae and, as a result, your back experiences pain. 6. Period Pain Some women might experience back pain during their periods. It is due to the contraction in the uterus and the network of nerves that run through the pelvis. The application of heat packs can be an effective relief measure in this situation. How to Fix Back Pain? Hot Cold Therapy: Hot Cold Therapy is one of the most immediate relief measures available for back pains. Ice is recommended for the initial treatment followed by the application of heat packs. Ice helps reduce inflammation and facilitate healing. Heat, on the other hand, relax muscles and aid recovery as well. Balance of Rest and Exercise:

  6. Rest is crucial for relieving back pains. However, inactivity can also worsen the situation by making the joints and muscles stiffer. Light exercises or frequent movement through walking and stretching are needed to prevent and overcome back pains. Maintain Good Posture: Maintaining a good posture that keeps your back relaxed and well supported is essential to avoid unnecessary back pain and associated complications. Better Sleep Position: Awkward sleeping positions can stretch your back and worsen or cause back pain and similar problems. Therefore, one should improve their sleeping position to make it more neutral for the spine. Besides these common causes of back pain, there can be other rare and more serious reasons as well. You should visit a doctor if your back pain is regular and doesn’t go away even after 2-3 weeks. It could be a sign of a bigger problem.

  7. The Doctor would determine the exact cause of your back problem by running a range of examinations, which may be necessary. Some of the rare causes of back pain include medical conditions like spondylolisthesis, caudaequina syndrome, tuberculosis, staphylococcus, cancer and kidney stones. Therefore, visit a doctor if the back pain persists. Article Resource:-https://axizz.com/6-most-common-causes-of-back-pain-and-how-to-fix-them/
