What causes back pain?
Back pain is either specific or non-specific. Specific back pain has a clear cause, like a disc injury or a fall.
Most back pain is non-specific: there’s no single cause, but a mix of physical, social and biological factors. That’s why we assess the whole picture, not just the spot that hurts.
How does back pain happen?
Many things can play a part:
Physical: your job, posture or gym training
Social: stress, relationships or grief
Biological: family history of arthritis or scoliosis
How do I know if I have a serious back injury?
Tweaking your back at work or feeling stiff after the gym is usually not serious. See a professional promptly if you have:
Pins and needles or numbness down the leg or in the foot
Pain that’s worse at night
Unexplained weight loss
Bladder or bowel changes
Numbness in the groin area
New back pain and you’re over 55
An MRI is best for soft tissue injuries like discs and nerves. An X-ray is best for bone issues like scoliosis or fractures.
How do I heal my back pain?
With a tailored plan: hands-on care works best combined with the right rehab exercises. Considering surgery? One study found no difference after four years between surgery and non-surgical care for chronic low back pain. (1)
