Why Does My Back Hurt?
One thing is certain, regardless of whether you have acute or chronic back pain: taking painkillers all day long is not a long-term answer.
In order to create a care plan that is specific to you and your needs, we at our office go deep to find the source of your issue.
Here are a few typical causes of back pain that we frequently see if you are unsure of what is causing it.
1. Poor alignment of the shoulders. It takes effort to maintain your spine in the right position all day. The majority of us slouch when using our laptops, phones, or even televisions. The back muscles might get sore when we start to adopt bad posture.
2. The scoliosis. While most people’s spines naturally bend in one direction, certain people have an extra curvature that might lead to issues. One can have mild, moderate, or severe scoliosis.
3. The mattress you own. How long have you been using the mattress that you currently sleep on? Your mattress has probably lost its support if it has been more than seven years, and it could be time to get a new one.
4. Past injuries. Have you ever been in an automobile collision? or engaged in athletics? Even decades or even years after an injury, it can still cause issues today. Why? It is probable that your body overcompensated for the injury if it was never given the time to heal correctly, leading to issues that are now manifesting. Thankfully, successful treatment is frequently achieved by determining the injury’s underlying cause.
5. Tension. Your muscles tense up when you are under stress. If you live with persistent stress, you also likely have constantly tense muscles. Pain in the body can easily result from strained muscles that last for weeks at a time.
