Causes:

The spinal column is made up of a complex structure of bones, ligaments, tendons, and discs. In most cases, back pain can improve progressively with exercises and treatments that can be implemented in the daily routine. These are some of the most common causes:

Dolor de espalda
  • Effort: This is the most common cause. Prolonged stresses and unusual stresses can easily lead to injury. By tensing muscles and ligaments, lifting very heavy objects and even sleeping in uncomfortable positions, we can damage, fracture or injure any of the parts that make up the back.

  • Bad Posture: Some daily activities, such as working long hours standing or long hours sitting, can cause significant problems if you do not try to maintain good posture. Standing or sitting for long periods of time can lead to straining the neck, back and other parts of the body that generate severe pain in the spine.

  • Structural Problems: Some structural problems, such as ruptured discs (which function as shock absorbers for the spine), herniated discs, sciatica problems and even the abnormal curvature of the bones of the spine caused by multiple sclerosis or various other reasons.

  • Diseases: Some diseases that can cause pain and discomfort in the back are;

    • Arthritis: It can affect the lumbar back if there are significant problems in the joints of the hip or lower back, causing the space around the spinal cord to be reduced and giving rise to the disorder called “spinal stenosis”.
    • Osteoporosis: It occurs when bones become brittle and porous, making them more prone to fractures.
    • Kidney Problems: Kidney stones and kidney infection usually cause pain in the back by “radiating” pain to this area.
    • Spinal Cancer: A tumor in the spine can cause severe pain.

Symptoms:

Back pain can range from mild to severe. Depending on the type of pain and its cause, the pain may even extend to the buttocks and legs, depending on the nerves that are affected.
