Back Pain Specialist

Many cases of lower back pain develop without a cause that can be immediately identified. Conditions often connected to back pain include:

• Sitting for extended periods of time. When you sit for a long period of time, your hip flexors which are the muscles in the front of your thighs become shorter and your lower back muscles become unloaded. This causes back stiffness and pain when you stand up.
• Strain of the Muscle or Ligament. This can happen from a sudden awkward movement or consistent heavy lifting which strains your spinal ligaments and back muscles. Constant strain on your back can bring on painful muscle spasms for those in poor physical condition.
• Ruptured or Bulging Disks. The cushions between the vertebrae of your spine are called disks. Inside the disk, the supple material can rupture or press on a nerve causing pain.
• Osteoporosis. When the bones in your spine become brittle or porous, they can develop compression fractures, making them frail.
• Arthritis. The lower back can be affected by osteoarthritis. Arthritis in the spine can result in spinal stenosis which is a closing-in of space around the spinal cord
• Irregularities in the Skeleton. Scoliosis is a condition where your spine curves to one side. This can result in back pain, although typically it gets more painful towards middle age.
